Unfortunately, I love it, lol. I love giving gifts and receiving them. And going out of my way to make something special for somebody. I just wish I got the same energy back. I feel like I spent a lot of time on my gift and I usually get something from Walgreens that was hastily thrown in a bag 😆

No I'm right there with you. Money is already tight, I don't want to spend $20 on someone at work! I want that money to go towards my loved ones.

Oh no, not at all. I always think I like the idea of doing secret Santa or white elephant but it’s always so much of a hassle and not worth it. Then I go home with some junk I don’t want but feel too guilty to throw away.

I'm an RN of 7 years, experience as a coordinator, on committees and do all the things. But now I just don't want to go to work anymore. I have anxiety every morning over nothing, just having to go perform my job. I could do my job in my sleep so I'm just lost and confused. My body is clearly sending me messages to leave. But where do I go? I think I need to step out of patient care.

Any WFM nurses out there? Better work-life balance??

Hello PwC AC Friends,

I have been on bench since I joined the firm 3 months ago. Now I have got project but still on bench. I have got mail regarding not raising snapshots because I was on bench so i didn't do anything except trainings and some learning. I don't have hours to raise snapshot for.

What shall I do in this case? I am very much worried that if i don't have any project hours to show, will they fire me or what actions are supposed to be taken ? Thanks.

For all the business/data analysts out there, do you ever feel like your job is draining you? Like it doesn't really make a difference, the work is really ambiguous or you never feel like you're doing a good enough job? I don't know if it would be different at another company, but I seriously don't understand why so many people are trying to break into this field. Maybe it just isn't for me.
