Do you think there will be a lot of follow up work post May? I’m sure a good chunk of clients will not be compliant by deadline

PwC has a really strong privacy practice that is delivery a lot of GDPR work.

Thanks I do. But what I wanted to flag is why people assume that everyone will know this? If can take a pain of writing a question here, walk some extra steps to detail it out as well.

P1 that's what they all say, stop drinking the koolaid

D1 - yes, most US organizations are behind and will not meet the May 2018 deadline.

Why would you want to do this work? It sounds like a boring nightmare. The wrorst kind of nightmare.

Because its good money. Companies are scrambling to figure this shit out and don’t have the time or resources.

But yeah I wouldn’t want to deal with this shit

Need your help/advice! I was rear ended & gave my car to the body shop. The lift gate needs to be replaced. It's been 9 weeks and they have not yet received the part. They don't know when they'll get it in. Additionally, they mentioned that they ordered the part with my VIN & they received the wrong part. (How?) Now they're like we've called xyz vendors and none of them have the part. Is it just me, or are they lying? And their response to follow up is we will keep checking...continue..

I'm the only woman on my team in the lab, and all my male colleagues told me today they just assumed I would handle getting our boss's Christmas gift and card together. They thought once I had everything they could just sign the card, and that would be it. What's the best way to explain that this isn't cool without coming off naggy? If we drew sticks or something I'd be fine, but this feels lowkey sexist. Thoughts?

Anyone else feel obligated to take family/friend referrals to healthcare providers? My brother is a dentist and, in light of some work I need done, said "hey! Go to so-and-so at such-and-such.

I’m on a 6-month extendable contract and my manager really likes me; she always says that they want to convert me ASAP, however they don’t have the budget right now to hire me. They plan to hire me by the end of the year (7-month mark) but that means I won’t get paid for 3 days during thanksgiving and a whole week during December. How can I push for them to make me permanent as soon as possible? This is my first job out of college so I’m not sure how to approach this situation.

Ok so I understand the whole concept of blockchain and crypto. What I’m confused on is how to interpret things and where to do my investing. i.e. I’ve seen multiple posts Discord about investing in KDA, so looked it up, it’s very difficult to invest in if in US. The only app I found was KuCoin. 2nd i.e. is the whole Luna thing, ppl say invest in the next 2.0 or wait for some new symbol. I’m so confused on this part. I have a business degree, lol why does this make me feel so dumb?

I’m still in my first year at Deloitte as a campus-hire. Feeling like this position isn’t for me, not fully enjoying what I’m doing, don’t feel like my coworkers value my work/me (I only work with men), and feeling like I am not getting adequate opportunities to grow my knowledge/experience in the work I do and also cross-department opportunities.

Should I wait it out and see? How do I get connected to try different things at the company?
