PE bought 51% then bought out a bunch of partners so firm lost ton of SKE. Utilization targets went up for most of the firm. Budgets for team socials were cut. Yesterday, PTO was cut 3-5 days across the board. Work week increased from 37.5 hours to 40, billable targets have not been adjusted YET. National leadership is in over their heads and will probably see changes in a few key positions at C class level soon. Seems like PE is sinking the ship.

Managers are already worry about turnovers. PE will probably just use that as a justification to hire more offshore workers…

When everyone onshore quits, I am sure the partners would love working directly with the offshore team.

So I had 3 deals scheduled to either close end of May or mid June which were all pushed to end of June/beginning of July. Which is when I have my first vacation planned for over a year (I take 0 time off). My whole family is flying up and we’re renting a cabin near me. What do I do? I’m running one of the deals, semi running the other one and not doing much leading on the other one. Note: I was supposed to not be running any of these. Do I find a back up first or tell the partners first?
