I’m guessing it varies by firm, but 10% is a pretty significant miss. You would get a low operational excellence rating at EY, which results in you not being able to get a high overall rating.

Depends on your practice/leadership and counselor vouching you. Utilization as a metric is silly if you're working hard. If you have low utilization through no fault of your own you need to make sure your impact is felt via other activities. If it isn't appreciated consider leaving you have a problem

I was 20+% off one year at Accenture and nothing came of it. My bonus did kind of suck though. If they wanted to fire you they’d have done it already.

Hi! I’m doing some research on employee benefits (medical insurance, 401k, HSA/FSA, commuter benefits) and was hoping to connect with People specialists or HR professionals in the comp & benefits space. I’m trying to better understand any pain points or challenges you might face with utilization/enrollment. Anyone interested in connecting? Thank you!

I am curious how other inclusion teachers are being utilized when the school is doing remote learning. I find that I am sitting in the zoom class and have very little opportunity to contribute.
