Always feels good to not be hung over the day after a holiday

I had an interview the week before Christmas and New Years. I know there is usually a holiday slump - when should I reach out about an update? It will be 3 weeks tomorrow.

Financially entering the most expensive season of my life 🤦🏾‍♂️. Making the most bread in the family is all fun and games till you get those christmas lists! Not to mention flights to see family. Do y'all feel like being successful in finance changes the expectations family members have for you, especially during the holiday season?

Is it reasonable to ask for three weeks before joining a new company? I was thinking a two week notice and a week vacation to take a breath. What do you think ?

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

Anyone here going to the EY holiday party this Thursday alone? I am 😅 and i think i’d be fun to meet other gals and keep each other company!

Does anyone work for Children’s medical center of Dallas on this form ? I know we recently had a “employee appreciation” bonus last month before Thanksgiving but not sure if that counts as one whole holiday bonus including Christmas , or it it’s safe to expect another in mid December ? What seems to be the latter in the past ? Any thoughts are appreciated !

When will the holiday calendar for 2022 be published on LMS?

Question about PTO - my contract says 25 days but is this inclusive of any office shutdown over Christmas/New years (if there is one?). In Sydney office if that provides some context. Thanks!

Curious how other companies are position their 2023 December holiday calendar.

Christmas falls on a Monday next year. Is your company observing the Friday before (22nd) as eve? Or are they observing the 26th as day after?

I'm hiring soon for a clinical pharmacist roles to do prior authorizations from home. It's state programs and mainly 9 to 5. What should the compensation be? It'll include 3 weeks vacation and all holidays off btw.

Holiday office party coming up tomorrow and I still haven't bought a gift... ugh. Any suggestions? I never know what to bring.

This is my first holiday season in Charlotte, is the tree lighting festival worth attending? Does anyone know what to expect?

Received verbal offer for position that I’m considering. Assuming I accept, recruiter advised not to give notice until after clearing background check. I have nothing that would come back on that check, any reason to wait for it to clear? I’d rather give notice before so that I’m giving myself more time off in between jobs... Thoughts?

How do you deal with vacation guilt? I find myself feeling ashamed having to remind folks in meetings that I’ll be unavailable for X amount of time. Just me?

Really dislike that OHG separates their PTO time into different categories... 10sick and 10vocation... so depressing 10 vocation days out of 365days a year...

I recently received an offer for 200k€ in Amsterdam. Includes travel, 30% ruling, holiday pay.

Any idea if that is enough to cover a mortgage on a flat within biking distance from the city center without over spending on housing?

Anyone know the NYC laws about taking time off to go to rehab? I need time off to go to treatment or at least focus on sobriety full-time, but don’t want to lose my job. Does FMLA cover this?
