Why in the hell does PTO only count against utilization for PDM?! I'm sick of the answer that we are only client because that's BS. We still should get time off. Not to mention parental leave is freaking 2 weeks which isn't even minium for women giving birth (6 weeks of everything goes well). Then if they take PTO they never recover utilization and can't take off if kids gets sick. I'm sick of this and no one is listening or responding when this is brought up on calls.

Luckily I didn't get one... Experienced hire

I just started in PDM a month ago.
What happens if utilization is low ? Or is the expectation that you resign and encash your leaves?

You can be let go because of it. Seen it happen without our projects knowledge too. Or denied promotions or not get as high of AIP or bonus because of it too.
