Just a heads up to everyone here

Honeywell Aerospace is pushing hard to adopt direct charge billing across every business unit. I am on a team (I won’t say which one) that is going from indirect to direct, and it’s going to be a huge mess. We’ve been assured by our management that it’s only going to be a small change with how we do business, but the devil is in the details. We now have a work-to-time-off ratio we need to keep in balance and our overhead billing is expected to be very tiny.

Thank you Eliot for messing with a formula that worked just fine before.

Direct charge billing is, easily and by far, the biggest waste of RDE money in the company. We waste at least 25% of our RDE dollars due to direct charge. Between mis-assigning people to projects randomly so they have hours to bill and setting up/tracking/closing charge codes most people waste at least a day a week producing nothing.

@OP by the way, in my area we are expected to have 85%+ direct charge utilization. Just be ready for a similar metric in your area to arrive soon.

Meet the New Boss same as the Old Boss.

Do you actually trust what your management says? A serious question, not sarcasm.

From my perspective management has been very deceptive. I've outright caught my managers in lies directly to my face. I would laugh at them and refused to do incorrect work or work that had incorrect documentation.

I laughed at every all-hands meeting when the "brass" would spew their bullcr-p line, " We have an aggressive approach to grow and sustain the business". WHAT A PREPOSTEROUS STATEMENT! They are guessing, they have no clue. at all
