@EY

If you take vacation, is the onus on you to make up that billable time? If so, how do you enjoy long vacations?

How much PTO does everyone get? Please include yoe for context

Does PwC Canada allow rollover of unused vacation days?

Hey Boschlers,
Is tomorrow holiday??

Hi all, I’m gonna join pwc ac Bangalore next month. I need your help In knowing the holiday calendar or holidays available in last week of December I.e in between Dec 25th to Dec 31st. To plan my vacation. Please help

Ate so poorly on vacation im scared to weigh myself 😣

My local Safeway is already stocking Valentine's Day chocolates. What would they do without holiday candy to sell? Is this their main purpose? I wonder what they do in off season (if that exists)

We are seeing more pushback from employees on working 40 hours. We offer flexibility (wfh), 11 holidays and another 3 wks PTO. Seems like a good gig, I think, at 40-45 hrs. Anyone seeing this too?

Any United health group remote employees here? I recently accepted an accounting job and some of the onboard makes it seem like I’m only allowed to work from my home office. I usually spend a few weeks a year out of town visiting family and work during this time so I don’t have to use PTO but I’m nervous I won’t be allowed to do that anymore

I have a question for established FAs with staff. How much vacation time do you give your longest tenured employee and how many years has the person worked with you?

Any of your agencies closed this week? We're "open" and were encouraged to use PTO if we we planned on being out. Now all the PMs are working because there's work to do and several of our clients are open, but there are no resources to do the work.

Will base jump from 120 - 145 make a significant difference in my saving? Offer has significantly less PTO and a lower 401k match. 32F with 400k saved, interested in buying a home soon in HCOL.

I just started a new job 2 months ago, benefits and PTO don’t start until 90 days in so I still have a month before I can take off any time, and today found out my company doesn’t offer paid maternity leave.
I’m really struggling handling the symptoms and maintaining my full time job. Thinking about looking for a part time job to have more time to myself through the pregnancy since I won’t be getting a paid leave anyways, but lost on where to start looking. Any recommendations?

startup Gig Alert: I am looking for a brand designer to join our startup team at Lifelines (truly a startup and we’re not in stores yet). We’re a product company set for revolutionizing how people approach sensorial wellness and I’m looking for someone with holistic experience in branding / art direction with a clear, bold visual style. Around 5 years of experience preferred. But work and personality trump years in experience. Always remote+unlimited PTO. Send me books / portfolios.

When is it either allowed or seen as OK to start using FTO? I recently started here and while I’m not looking to slack off and take time off, I just want to know how it works. (Plus, I don’t want to not use something that I can or should use.) Elementary stuff, I know. But I’ve freelanced my whole career until now. Thanks

What's the longest vacation you've taken and where did you go? Thinking about capitalizing on my unlimited PTO and want some ideas.

Any tips/tricks for learning more about the technical side of C-Corps?

I know there’s the Subchapter K book partnership people live by so I was curious if there was anything for us C-Corp specialists.

Is anyone interested in being involved in a new-age tech company that will show world governments and global companies the “right” way to operate so that the planet doesn’t get fucked? If interested, DM your LI and I’ll connect with some NDAs to sign then I can share details :) Cheers and enjoy the warm Sunday weather!

Hello good fishes! I had informational exchange with the hiring manager. Now going for technical interview. The role is in Privacy and have not done much of coding in last 6 years. Any suggestions what I should study to get through? This is for a Principle position.

For a top Producer of 3 years, is it appropriate to now ask for a raise in my base pay? Base was 42,500 when I started, but now inflation + 2 children later the base pay barely gets me by. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

I'll be applying for a Service Desk manager position in the coming months. I'm looking to get a realistic salary range (online ranges vary drastically). I have 7 years experience in IT end user support. 4 years of these 7 years include having direct reporting employees in a supervisory role.

Hello all,

Can we switch internally within Accenture India?
Currently I'm working with Accenture operations and I wish to move to Accenture Strategy and Consulting. Please let me know the procedure if anyone is aware of it.

Thanks!

How do I divide the chores in this case? I’m the breadwinner - husband has been taking time off from work. No kids. Two dogs.

I feel like I do more chores because there are some things that I just can’t stand. Like dishes left in the sink, dirty floor, dirty dogs, laundry…etc. When I ask him to do those chores, he says he will do them later but he takes forever. So I do them instead. He does grocery shopping, yard work, some cooking. Is it unfair if I repeatedly ask him to do more? 😡😡

I'm considering applying for all the Contact Tracing jobs I keep seeing. Any clue what the pay is?

We are seriously withdrawing from the World Health Organization. How can that be possible? Has he consulted medical professionals?

How has seeing patients in clinic changed for you? We get our patients from the parking lot one at a time.

Does anyone know the best agencies for short week (1-4week ) contracts?

How hard but also fun is corrections nursing for you all?

I have an interview for a role in Quality, specifically ER. I have no ER experience but have med surg, oncology, home care, and OR so I was just planning on talking about how all my previous RN roles have involved process improvements. Any other helpful suggestions?

With this WFH life & the pandemic I’ve barely been moving. I started walking daily since a few days ago and it kicks my butt. My legs are actually sore from walking? It’s really sad but I’m glad I’ve taken in this initiative and wanted to share 😂

Last minute town halls are terrifying. The anticipation is killing me!

I am on 60k and have been working as an Art Director for almost 4 years now. I have bronze lions/shortlists for a couple of campaigns from Cannes. Am I getting a shit deal?

Bbdo or McCann?

No matter how much and how hard I try organize my day, stuff just pops out of nowhere all the time and I end up stuck at my desk until midnight almost every single day.

Things have been super stressful at work lately for a variety of reasons & a couple of weeks ago I decided to raise the issues with my Creative Director.
For context, he’s the reason for a lot of these problems and I (tactfully, I think) said as much. He listened to me patiently but took no responsibility and deflected blame with every issue raised.
Today he asked me to send an email to him about how overworked I am so that he can use it to talk to management. (cont. in comments)

The next time your client asks for analytics on your idea: just say "Josh Donaldson and Hillary's pollsters."

Publicis Groupe - CapGemini - Accenture. Anyone else put there hearing the same chatter??

Do you think YouTube had what's coming to them with 250 advertisers pulling budgets after finding YT had selling advertising on radical extremist videos? 💣

I just got laid off — anyone else get hit this round? ☹️

I had a panic attack in a meeting today. I had no idea what to do and I feel like the others could tell something was wrong but it kept going. If you've had this, what do you do?

Do you ever get rejected from a job you didn’t even want and yet somehow you’re still upset? Haha I feel like a crazy straight man who gets rejected “fine bitch i didn’t want you any way!!”

Longest period of time you've gone without work, i.e. waiting for new project to kick off. Bored af here.

It goes down in the company bowl.

Has anyone worked with a career coach or someone similar and have a recommendation? Preferably New York.

As if Arnold wasn't depressing enough, people have started a rumor that we had massive layoffs today and they didn't lay ME off. If you need me, I'll be drinking free craft beer at my desk 🤦🏼‍♂️

Best concept you’ve ever seen?
