One of my professors presented us with this scenario in class today. I am sure it is still prevalent in some offices and I am curious what the mindset is of people in the industry and those about to enter it. What would you do?
Ashley works for AAA CPA Firm. When Ashley was first employed, she was told by a partner to report her timesheet accurately and not to underreport her time even when she goes over budget. However, she quickly learned that everyone else in her office “eats time” when they go over budget. Since Ashley does not “eat time” she is beginning to get the reputation of a “budget buster.” Therefore, none of the seniors or managers want Ashley on their engagements. Ashley is therefore getting the worst clients and negative reviews from her seniors and managers. Ashley believes that, unless she starts eating time, her future at AAA is limited.
