ACN: scheduled to roll off soon and plan on doing a week class training at a 3rd party vendor site. Should I use pto for this since it won't dock my bench time or just do the training on the bench ?

Training does not help your chargeability, but does help show you as productively using your time. I'd just bill to central participant as A2 suggests. Our people spend barely 1/2 their budgeted training dollars as it is. I've used PTO when I needed to protect my %chargability. Only done it once after a rough rolloff.

I'd do it on bench time. Actually I'd try to get it cleared to charge the training code and if not bench time.

A1 thanks. How do I reach out for that ? Tfs or global train approver?

You can just hit the central training - participant code. It's not all that tightly regulated. I've done something similar before and never got asked about it.

So if I do this A2 will this still dock my bench hours ?

How much ya bench?

Hi everyone! How did you discuss with your boss all the time you’d be needing to take off for appointments? My boss absolutely hates when people take time off. Company policy is at least a week ahead of time - she says she needs at least 2. Also when someone requests off a couple days in March then a couple days in April for example, she gets annoyed and says they are requesting too much time (even if they have plenty of PTO available).

Quitting before finalizing offers?

I’m at post onsite and negotiation stage at a couple places but it may take another month or 2 due to either hiring freezes or general slow processes.

I want to quit now to go on vacations that I held off during prep. Does it make much difference when I negotiate offers? Like if my upcoming unvested RSU would be (partially) matched, and they find out I quit somehow, is it no longer matched? Other potential snags?

Already burned most of my PTO interviewing.
