April 12 - Paul Gibbon Day🎉

This should be a statutory holiday for all hardworking Canadians!

does booking sick date or vacation impact utilization?

Hi All,

Need one help , for collecting Deloitte laptop i visited there collection centre by putting PTO ,can I reimburse my travel expenses (Bus Fare ) as from my home to ofc and ofc to home
It's around 600+ Km distance of one ways

Supervisor said I couldn’t have week off for vacation this summer bc another coworker of higher seniority asked off the same week and two people can’t go on vacation at the same time because of staffing. But this coworker that asked off works different shift than me? He works 1st shift I work second. We have a total of 8 workers and no more than 4 work a day. can easily be covered. This has never been a problem until this year (we got a new supervisor). we’re used to being short staffed anyway

Looking for a vacation home/weekend rentals next weekend in any of the western suburbs, preferably Naperville. Any ideas on alternative sites to search? Not too many options on Airbnb or vrbo

One of those days when your client keeps wanting and demanding more and more than what they are currently paying, and all of your seniors are out on vacation so you have to bear all the brunt of the client's frustration for your team for the rest of the evening 😔

I found the following perks in Deloitte should also be considered at RISE

1. Office Phone reimbursement
2. Well-being allowance yearly 25k
3. Vacation allowance of 25k
4. Amount of Rewards and Recognition min 5k compared to current reward Rs.1500

Should I ask for PTO first and then resign? Planning to leave end of December and wanted to take the last two weeks off for Christmas.

Does your company have a holiday party? Do you go to it? Is it considered rude if you don't go?

What's going on this weekend? Any fun holiday shops or pop-up bars I could check out?

Does anyone take day dates with their spouse/partner? By the time I get to bed, even on the weekends, I’m spent. I wonder if it would be more enjoyable to spend that time together during the day. We both work incredibly hard and are successful, but honestly I’m more the YOLO type and he probably would find it ridiculous to take this time off work. Has anyone found some enjoyment/benefit to spending time with your spouse like this?

Do you get a holiday bonus? If so, how much are you expecting?

PwC people, does vacation negatively impact utilization the same way hitting G&A does?

Anyone know what happens if you didn’t pick Cathy gift? I was on PTO.

Hi, if my H1B approval is pending, can I travel to PR and US VI on holiday?

What do teachers normally do during summer vacation?

Currently interviewing for a role I am really interested in. I have saved up a lot of PTO this year (expires dec 31) and was going to take the last 2 weeks of the year. How do I communicate this and of course I only would mention it if I get an offer right?

Has anyone been able to bypass paying a negative PTO balance after they leave? Specifically asking for KPMG

Feeling hurt and just looking for clarity :/. Guy I dated briefly over a year ago (met on Hinge) saw that I was on vacation. He's a pilot and happened to be flying to the same location while I was there, so he reached out and asked to get drinks. We'd barely spoken since we stopped seeing each other over a year ago, but he's kept tabs on my life and frequently replies to my stories. TBH I liked him a lot, so I was super excited to see him and pretty ecstatic that he reached out. (cont.)

Hi. I have 2.5YOE in Support environment but I have skills in Python and Data Science. I am on track to complete my Post-graduate Program in Data Science and Business Analytics from Great Learning. Once completed, I want to make a switch to Data Science/Business Analytics domain. Please refer me.

Have a report that does great every day work. Keeps the biz running. Wants to be sr but lacks the drive and overall just not that good doing big idea creative work nor dealing with clients directly. I tried mentoring them, but they’ve only show slight improvement. They are due for a promotion, but doesnt feel like they have the chops. What should i do?

When is the EY split happening? I am planning to resign. Should I resign now or after the split? Is there even a connection between resigning and split in view of company's reputation??

Accepted an offer recently (last week) and haven’t heard back from the HR regarding a confirmed start date (we discussed dates but didn’t nail down in offer letter) or background check, is this stuff that normally takes time to get set up? Thanks

Rising audit senior thinking of pivoting to forensics. Not sure if I want to stay at EY, but should I wait to get any forensics certification until I make the switch? Also, is it better to have a CFE vs. CFF? I already have my CPA

Book recommendations for a 27 year old guy trying to figure out what to do with his life?

I'm curious as to what a lot of you all do with your extra time on the job during WFH -- for context, my project ended a couple of weeks ago and I likely won't be staffed until after the holidays.
I'm currently in Latin America just hanging out, enjoying life/the beach etc. and it's pretty nice; but I feel a little bit empty not doing anything productive for days on end.
Are there any classes/certifications/skills you all have taken or developed that you recommend?

Got the boot last week. Was staffed with extensions till end of year. M sure the issue was a slightly lower utilization for the last performance year. Great snapshots and real time awards. (Contd)

Consulting firms should just kick everyone out without an MBA -- be more like MBB. Also, shitty, peasant MBAs are out too.

Anyone jump to Oliver Wyman from MBB, S& or another traditional strategy firm? What's your experience been like?
