Anyone aware, If CGI having Holiday in last week of December?

So, how many days left before you start the holiday seasons? What are your biggest priorities for the new year?

New hire here- I am in a project and will be taking a PTO. Do I need to update something in staffit also? Or just DTE is enough? What should I update in staffit for the day I take leave? Please advice.

A sign I need to fire some clients: when my out of office email reply hits the next reaction is to immediately call my cellphone. Nope. Call the number I left in the email to gain assistance. I cannot help you from jury duty, the doctor’s office, vacation, or anywhere else I might be when the auto replay directs you elsewhere.

Remember, its okay to not be okay. Take time off and do what you enjoy.

¡Feliz Día de Acción de Gracias!/Happy Thanksgivings! How do you and your family celebrate this holiday? What are some of your traditions (old, new or remixed ones)? What dishes do you like to make?

When is too soon to take time off at a new job?

Just over a year post BL. Still a lawyer but more balanced. Still crazy to me how all those weird things about corporate BL are actually not inescapable realities of practice, e.g. not having free time on weekday evenings, work email notifications, having to take my laptop on vacation, caveating accepting a birthday party invitation by saying "if nothing comes up". The happiest surprise: work is still intellectually challenging because of the randomness of being an in-house generalist.

For a data engineer with offer from epam, impetus and apisero, which would you prefer? Apisero being 3lpa higher. What's the work culture like? How is it like taking a leave? Or a 7 day vacation? Do they let you take it most of the times?

Planning a vacation in late June, any recommendations for somewhere with lots of golf and with a bit of nightlife/near beach and if not a beach - a resort with a nice pool. Ive been to Miami already. Would be for ~5 days

Did everyone take a day or two off to celebrate the holiday? Does anyone feel pressure to work on the holidays? It seems like major meetings get schedules with no thought about the high holidays

How long do you stay on holiday leave for the holiday season?

My school has seen combinations of f2f, hybrid, and remote teaching/learning throughout the first half of the school year. After the MLK holiday, our district is returning to traditional f2f teaching 100%. I have 4 band classes (1 beginning, 2 intermediate, & 1 advanced), and as far as content pacing is concerned, we’re 1 9-week grading period behind. Is it a far fetched goal to get my students where they need to be by the end of the school year? How would you handle a situation like this?

Sooo ready for the holiday party on Friday.

How do you go about using PTO outside of an actual vacation? Because of the tight knit nature of the teams I’m on it feels like I can’t use an actual off day when I need it. (Corporate/M&A for reference)

why do i feel guilty taking time off work … i’ve only been off for officially 1 day and I’m already on my laptop responding to emails the next

About to start work travel again and will be traveling to WA from NY. Also, going to Asia in a few weeks for vacation (Cathay flight). I have a bit of points on AA. But thinking if I should switch to Alaska or Cathay? Idk if it matters and am new to this so hoping someone can steer me in thinking this out

What consulting firms have the best WLB? How many hours per week do you work? Are weekends safe? Is vacation safe?

There are so many holiday parties to attend. Any advice on how to make it to many and still be a functional human by the end of the week?

Posting on behalf of a friend: Currently at Deloitte in Cyber (100% client facing) and just got an offer for an internal cyber role at McKinsey. Wanted to know if internal employees get the same benefits (PTO, 401k match, Grad school assistance for high performers) and if there were ever opportunities to move into 100% client facing roles for internal employees.

Is there a McKinsey implementation equivalent at BCG? If not, does that mean BCG doesn't focus/take on as much long term implementation work or Generalists do strategy + implementation?

So many kids were excited to show off their new things from Santa, but there were definitely kids who didn't get much of anything :(. How can I show them that material things don't matter?

Serious question….with all of the pressure on the tech sector, companies freezing hiring, stocks down, companies cutting costs, how are things over in salesforce services? There is a lot of momentum overall for the services side of here economy (relative basis) in the US but a services division of a tech product company may be another matter. I hear salesforce is already slashing spending, cutting travel, etc. would value any views especially from the inside.

What is the benefit of investing in mutual funds such as VTSAX over a similar ETF other than reoccurring investments that allow you to set it and forget it? Is that why people choose them?
