Anyone at the Havas holiday party? It’s lit 🔥.

does booking sick date or vacation impact utilization?

Hi, we are currently updating our Apprenticeship Policy and I wanted to understand what other organisations offer in regards to:
1. Rewards for exam passes
2. Holiday allowance during study

Any detail would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Are we getting paid tomorrow since it’s a holiday weekend? I believe Juneteenth weekend we got paid on a Friday even though pay day was Tuesday

EY 🐠 - potentially starting with the firm soon, and my partner is due to have our first in April. Given the 1 year service requirement for leave, would I have the option to take PTO during birth and use parental leave after my 1 year of service? Appreciate any guidance here

Anyone hiring those who have been out of work for a year? I took time off to tend to personal matters, but I am now looking to get back into the workforce again. My previous experience includes time at B4 audit up to senior level and then transitioned to manager in industry. Senior/manager roles are preferred.

I don’t mind audit. However, I’d prefer it not to be at a B4, as I am looking for some semblance of a work life balance.

DM me if you have something above, thanks.

Do you guys give your boss's New Years' gifts? I'm thinking of doing one since I didn't give a holiday gift but thought it maybe weird

What is your title and how much vacation do you get?

Moving from T2 to McKinsey. How do vacation requests work? I have family and friends getting married this fall in weddings delayed because of covid, but I’ll just have started so wanted to get a sense of how realistic taking vacation this fall would be and how to approach taking it (e.g. mention to HR, staffing). TIA!

Mondays post vacation are so fucking depressing

Do you think we will be able travel by Christmas for a vacation?

Tomorrow is zs holiday in India offices. So will be the salary get credited today??

I'm graduating in a few weeks, is to weird to send a holiday gift like wine or a Christmas Card along with my resume? I haven't been hearing back from the companies i have been applying to and I'm looking to stand out.

Do we observe a holiday on 1st November?

Love how BS credit score is. Got my score up to 800 last month only to go on vacation so my credit utilization went up to 8% due to the increased spending and my score dropped 35 points because I didn’t immediately pay the balance after charging the purchases. I always pay my balance in full each month and have never missed a payment, how is 8% credit utilization determined to be that big of a risk that my score got immediately wrecked, I don’t understand

Amerisourcebergen doesn't care about its employees. We have no mental health awareness. Leadership only promotes people who kiss ass the most qho have no managerial experience and pass people who actually have experience in a manager role. Leadership never helps you with anything. Managers write you up for no reason amd threaton your job constantly. Ive have leasherip threaten my job while on FMLA and write me up for taking too much time off

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

Partners - Do you ever take vacations?

I have been at my current firm for about 1.5 years, and in that entire time the partner in my group hasn't been out of the office a single time. Is that normal? I can't tell if it's standard for big law partners to not take time off, if the dynamics for my group may be different (only 1 partner in the entire group), or it the partner I work with is just a masochist.

Hi, I’m looking to switch into marketing (entry level), as consulting is not aligned with my skill set/passions. Does anyone know of any ad agencies in LA that have good work-life balance, good pay, PTO, great culture, promotions, training? Your help means more than you know!!! Looking to do informational interviews and try to network my way in, as I feel the barrier to entry was much harder than anticipated. Anything helps, thank you so much!

So I had 3 deals scheduled to either close end of May or mid June which were all pushed to end of June/beginning of July. Which is when I have my first vacation planned for over a year (I take 0 time off). My whole family is flying up and we’re renting a cabin near me. What do I do? I’m running one of the deals, semi running the other one and not doing much leading on the other one. Note: I was supposed to not be running any of these. Do I find a back up first or tell the partners first?

Can someone recommend a good photographer for headshots? I’ve tried two so far with mixed results. Don’t really like the final product and most are not great for a professional setting.

Theoretically*

Thoughts on Method NYC ??

A few things all agencies should leave in 2017:

- IG dog portraits.

- Agency rap videos.

- The overwhelmingly unfunny office sarcasm.

- Unannounced ‘stay the latest’ coworker competitions.

Wise to have a joint account with your SO, especially if you are making significantly more? He's pushing for it, and is pretty good with his money.

Starting my first job at a big agency in the coming week! Any tips on relationship building with my manager and teammates?

Anybody have any intel on Blackwood Seven (LA/NYC) or The Shipyard (Columbus, OH)? Both are tech shops with agency offerings. What about XenoPsi in NYC?

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.

Thoughts on D&G LA?

I was ghosted by a recruiter for the first time AMA 😩

Does anyone regret having a second kid? Did it make working in advertising completely untenable?

"Hi. Reaching out because I really like your book. It made me laugh a lot. I have a great opportunity that won't allow you to use humor or smart thinking. Let me know what you think. Best, Recruiter."

Creatives who left for tech. What is it exactly that you do now? Is it still writing or art directing? Or a different creative role? Hearing about people leaving for tech so I want to know what it means exactly aside from the benefits.

NYC: Looking for a partner at a big agency here in the city. Ideally Senior though, feel free to reach out if you’re mid. Can’t say where at this point. DM your books to learn more. Sorry for be so vague in this post. Thanks in advance!

It's 10:00 PM on a Friday night, and two of my AD teammates just spent the entire evening furiously typing write-ups beside me. I honestly couldn't be more grateful.
