What's it mean to eat hours? And I've heard good things about McK's work life balance. Deloitte is a sweatshop for sure.

Eats hours is ghosting hours

Oh yeah I eat a ton of hours. Bill 45, another 10 or so to PRD/CED/CNS/GAA. At least 10 more I just forgot to report.

✋️ close to 90 hours this week for me

Eating hours is a big 4 thing. We bill one day whether we work 8 or 16 hours, so less of a factor. We do sometimes eat whole days. Non billable stuff mostly happens after hours.

I don't know if we have it the worst, but our hours are pretty fucking bad
