I work in a group that has had to come in to the office regularly during COVID (lots of work with original documents and wet ink signatures). It’s real estate and title companies still require wet ink documents. One junior has refused to come in because he says he’s concerned about COVID. We all wear masks, close our doors, and socially distance. We’ve all had to pick up the slack for him. Just found out he’s taking his second vacation during COVID and visiting family in FL. I could scream.

Advertising supports the arts!
Many performers of all sorts are hosting New Year’s eve online or zoom-y celebrations for really nominal $ amounts. Broadway singers, local musicians and everyone in between.

Why not buy a ticket and add to your NYE at home fun? Or just buy a ticket anyway whether you join or not? Support our artists and performers. I’ll post a few but add anything you know of that supports the Arts community.

Any advice on quitting without a two week notice? I’m at a regional boutique and we’ve had 3/4 of our other analysts leave and I’ve had to pick up the slack with no comp increase. I’m absolutely done and do not want to give a notice. My associate or VP who left earlier this year can be used as a reference so I’m not worried about that. Is there anything else I should make sure of before I leave?

Novice investor here so please bear with me. I opened a vanguard account dec 2019 and invested around $1K..over the course of the year I invested about $68k.. I just checked the total gains and it shows about $10k. That’s about 14% gain via investment in small amounts in vgt, zoom, tsla, ark, vtsax etc..Is it fair to assume 15% gain year over year ?

I recently transitioned from Finance to Internal Audit. While I think this job is perfect for what I want during this stage of my career I feel like theres a stigma. Like this holiday during family zoom calls I'll tell relatives I stwrted a new job during WFH and when I mention it is Internal Audit I get mildly disgusted looks or "oh boy, I hate auditors" responses. Since the holiday season is almost over can you share how you respond to that? Or do you tell people you work "in compliance"?

I plan to teach maths to my 8th grader and her friends over the zoom. Any paid website recommendations where I can get the slides on different topics and relevant exercise sheets? Which website do you use with your kids? I live in California.

HR and leadership denied my request for our company’s cell phone reimbursement ($60, but it’s still something) because they came to a conclusion that those who aren’t directors don’t use their phone enough for work purposes to warrant it. So I’m about to delete my work email, Zoom, Slack, etc. from my phone. Guess if they need to get ahold of me, they have to wait until I get on my computer.

Did any one else’s firm just not engage with them during the majority of the WFH period? While when the lock down first happened we had a few zoom get togethers, they quickly disappeared. I’m only a first year and while my practice group ended up being pretty busy I had been hoping for more engagement from partners/senior associates. While I would set up calls and they would say yes, I can’t help but feel ignored by the lack of outreach. Am I asking too much to expect at least a monthly checkin

Team,

What's your work from home setup for conference calls?

1. I have a Plantronics earpiece but both my clients and team have intermittently complained that I sound too far away. Not every call, but every 5th call. I suspect it might be due to my HP Elitebook. Any alternate setup without routing through my laptop directly?

2. I use Teams for almost all calls. For external calls, I switch to Skype. How do you all do it?

Without asking anything about me, gives me a case to solve and says "solve it and I am working on a deliverable". After 15 mins comes back and rejects everything without listening anything properly and finishes the call.
Result- Rejected
