Management has changed through the years to emulate Big 4 without the same level of resources, ability, or clout. The recent transitions such as to unlimited PTO to intimidate staff into not taking their deserved time off and to a vague bonus structure that started out with “you don’t have to go above and beyond since it replaces normal bonuses” to “bonuses for going above and beyond” feeds into this culture of avoiding compensating people fairly in order for the Company to hit their $1bn arbitrary target. Taking advantage of COVID, management has also decided to hold everyone to 40hr a week charge goals when before, it was understood that humans aren’t robots and can’t possibly be fully chargeable for 8hrs daily without blowing our tiny engagement budgets. Again, it’s a shift to copy Big 4 without Big 4 engagement fees.
