Deloitte Canada has given a whole handful of Friday “Deloitte Days” throughout the year (some half day, some full). I think it works out to a long weekend every month now, and all the time between Christmas and New Years.

Yes, 5 extra days

When is the unplugged day?

It’s firm wide in Australia.

Do they have this for EY US?

There is a concept of blocked leaves across the big4s, if I understand it correctly. This is usually 5days, 3days firm sponsored and two deducted from your leave balance

Deloitte Global gets the last week of the year off as a company disconnect and we get two extra days off for TG. This doesn’t count towards our PTO. So ultimately we get like 7 extra days off this year. And I believe we had the an extra day as a disconnect for the 4th as well.

None for PwC yet, though Assurance typically get 2 days like this every other year if certain targets are met (or close to met lol).

My boss fired me because i ask for clarification on my employment right.

I got hired not long ago. I realise some of the employee benefits i was told (missing in the contract) contradict with what’s stated on the law. So i email the boss about it and ask for clarification. Immediately after the email i was fired.

Just want to make sure people know this and don’t apply jobs in this shady company- it is called UniQ Biotech, in Delta, BC, Canada

Anyone hiring those who have been out of work for a year? I took time off to tend to personal matters, but I am now looking to get back into the workforce again. My previous experience includes time at B4 audit up to senior level and then transitioned to manager in industry. Senior/manager roles are preferred.

I don’t mind audit. However, I’d prefer it not to be at a B4, as I am looking for some semblance of a work life balance.

DM me if you have something above, thanks.

Partner’s tone immediately shifts and as we’re ending the call he says, “Okay, enjoy the time with your family at the civil ceremony.” Like… girl you live in California, you cannot be this backward.
