Anyone taking time off to spend time with family this week? I have the rest of the week off, and I'm heading to my mother's house tomorrow to help get things started. What's your favorite Black holiday tradition? Our family takes a shot together before we have Thanksgiving dinner 🤣.

My entire family does karaoke in groups before Thanksgiving dinner, and I think that's my favorite part. Even though not a one of us besides my older sister can sing lol. Happy to actually have W, Thurs, Fri off!

I'm flying out to see my family tomorrow night. I can't wait I've been so homesick lately. My grandmother is the matriarch of out family and she tells the same stories about my parents, aunts, and uncles. It's become a tradition.

I spent all weekend getting work done so that this week I can be available to my family. I can't wait to get in the kitchen and help my mom cook.

I just have to put this out there. But we have the best thanksgiving celebration in the world. Ya'll can't change my mind about that. Lol. Anyway, I can't wait to finish everything at work. I miss my family so much!

I have the rest of the week off. I am actually traveling out of town to visit the fam for a few days. I am so excited to have a few days off to eat, relax, and catch up on some quality time. It feels like I haven't been home in ages.

Yup, we're spending the entire week together just like the good old days. It's been a while since we've all been under the same roof. Not gonna lie, taking a shot together sounds like so much fun but it'll for sure be a recipe for disaster. Maybe we should try a drinking game where we take a shot for every little habit each member of the family does.

My family always makes an extra spicy dish to counteract the blandness of Thanksgiving food lol. It's weird but it works for us

Yes. I spent my weekend with my family. We always watch a movie together with lots of snacks and play some board games after.

How much stock do you put on benefits? I have two offers with stark differences in benefits. Job 1: role I want, but benefit sucks (2 weeks paternity leave, 20% coinsurance). Job 2: role is okay but higher level and great benefits (16 weeks paternity, 0% coinsurance, 5 more days of vacation). Total comp is the same though. I wonder if I should just focus on role but Job 2 is a large company, so I can move around after 2-3 years I’d expect. Thoughts?

So i work at this company in coimbatore (india) and we have a very poor work life balance. We have a 6 day working policy and no vacation or sick leaves just 1 day casual leave a month. We usualy had to work around 10 to 12 hrs and no leaves even during govt holidays. How can i make them understand this is killing our personal life. I have already shared a couple of emails to hr and CFO of our company to no avail. Please advice on what should I do next

My father took a home loan, and the same home is kept as mortgage.
I'm paying arround 22k emi for the same but unable to exempt tax as the loan is on my father's name.

I googled a lot how to transfer it but neither gift deed nor sale deed would work as the property is on mortgage that's under bank's ownership (until loan is fulfilled).
Tax is also getting deducted, I'm paying hefty emis.
What can I do?
Please advise 🙂

People that have small children - how do you deal with your child’s stress and separation anxiety when you go to work? My 4-year old goes berserk almost every day at some point relating to me having to work. The worst part is that I’ve been working from home bc of Covid and I’m literally just walking upstairs after giving hugs and kisses and saying see you soon 800 times. My spouse is a stay at home parent, but that doesn’t seem to matter to my son. A piece of me dies everyday because of this.
