I am totally comfortable with it. My husband and I started at the same company together in the same practice but different projects. Its how we met.

It made him uncomfortable though, anytime we were in the same office together and coming/going together. So dramatic :)

Now he is at a different company and he says he doesn’t want us both to work there (I may leave Deloitte in the future) because it is a 100 person company and he doesn’t want both our jobs/security to be linked to one tiny company that could fail. But he is also very much “we must diversify which company our life insurance is with, etc” So it’s just how he thinks.

Two holiday related questions:
1. My firm has a secret holiday candy thing where you can send holiday candy to someone. Two partners sent me, first year, holiday candy and a card. Would the appropriate response be a thank you card that I drop off with their assistants or would it be me dropping by their office? I don’t know the partners and they’re not in my practice group. 2. First year question, do people usually give something to their assistants during the holidays? Context (contd).

Hi guys, urgent suggestion regarding feeling overwhelmed at work

I don't know why but lately since the second wave of the pandemic has started, I have been feeling very overwhelmed at work. My manager is mostly a supportive and smart person but due to recent changes in teams his workload has also increased a bit.

I don't know if its work or just the pandemic but sometimes even looking at emails feels dreadful.

How should I talk to him? Please help. He is OOO next week, I need to do distoday

Tips on how to deal with my direct report, the CMO, that won't honor the bonus structure in my offer letter?

Not sure who else in the company is involved/aware - he's my only point of contact. I'm 6 mths into the job and enjoy it, but this is a major red flag. Should I find a new job or hold my ground and see what happens?
