What were some challenges y’all faced this week?

I’ll start. Trying to get non local resources utilized. National Leadership thinks this is the answer to our problems but local leadership is hesitant.

When a consolidated unitary group acquires a TX Corp, does TX follow Sec. 382 and Sec. 383 and apply a limitation on the utilization of the acquired entity's TX R&D credits following the acquisition?

What do travel, utilization requirements (billable hours?), and work-life look like for those of you working in the Cloud space?

Couple days ago found out that PTO not counted towards utilization.

Thanks.
