M1 what? No adjusted utilization is only contributed to the numerator by counting additonal charge codes like certain internal initiatives

Would you be happier if it counted and they raised the utilization targets? They factor PTO into the goals and don't count it because it isn't real utilization. That metric doesn't only exist for you.

They do count against you D2, they are not subtracted from the 2080 denominator that they use to calculate

Doesn't adjusted utilization take that into account?

Utilization is the numerator, not the denominator

Pretty sure you can take all your holidays and PTO and still have a few weeks of beach time (#of weeks depending on level and util target)

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence

Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.
