I have worked in two Hewitt locations in the US. I am sorry to say that both are equally horrible. While I get paid to be at work ($36k for a BA) I am grossly under paid and under utilized to be quite frank. Both offices have been a nightmare in changes, management, ethics, general reliability etc. Its just an all-around bad place to be right now. Ever since that damn going public thing! I thought the atmosphere would/could change from one office to another - - it does not. Hewitt is Hewitt. I am currently submitting at least one resume per day at a minimum so that I can hopefully stop this pain by June.
Here's food for thought. I moved to my new office/location a month ago. My new mgr had the "balls" to tell me that the company policy is that we are all at work from 830 to 5. I called her out on it since I know that is not a company policy. She then says it is a company policy for new MPHRO clients. Once again, I have to call her out, since in the last year I have been on TWO MPHRO clients and this has NEVER been a policy of any kind! She tells me I am wrong. Once we are done hashing this, she tells the group that maybe in April we can re-visit this and get more flexible hours. Here's my question. If this is a company policy, how can we re-visit this and make changes for our team??? I hate this place! |

Do managers at Hewitt not have the authority to set standards for their individual teams? Seems to me that 8:30 - 5 are pretty reasonable hours (also seems from most of the posts on this board that thos hours are a pipe deram - however that's beside the point). I'd think there would be no need for you manager to hide behind company policy. "As your manager, I expect you to be here between 8:30 and 5" should be enough.
