May I know what is the notice period if one resigns in infy during the first 6 months of joining? I am a lateral resource and they hired me in June, but they have no projects related to my tech and want me to take weird roles.. seems they are hiring to increase employee count and cross training most. just looking for options..

[query] Is it a good idea to say a firm No due to medical reasons to a new night shift project I'm hired in?Accenture
I recently got a night shift project (2 days ago) that requires me to work from 10:30pm till 7:30am
I'm not comfortable with these timings and I'm thinking to ask my manager to put me on Bench (Due to medical reasons that involve mental health)

Are you connecting other times—playing with them, reading to them, going for walks together, etc?
Empathy is important. But the roles mothers and fathers play are different. My kids never ran to me with boo boos, they showed their scars and we’d high five. But I still celebrated with them.
I don’t know what specifically your wife thinks you aren’t empathetic about. It might be actually a lack of doing chores or paying attention to her. But for kids, you need to find your own relationship with them and that will be different than hers.
It’s a pretty even split of nighttime routine. I’m doing drop and pick up. I’m playing with them, doing homework. We have dinner together 95% of the time. I’m very constant in my kids life. The specific situation was my kid had an ear ache the other day and ended up in our bed around 10:30PM. We gave him medicine, he didn’t like it and spit it out. My wife was upset that I wasn’t empathetic to his needs I.e. my son not understanding that the medicine will help him. I was more concerned that our sheets didn’t get covered with meds. My wife called me out.
Wife put our son back to bed shortly after and that’s pretty much it.
Adults get tired and cranky too when it’s late and there’s a lot to do. Maybe is worthwhile a followup, maybe not, it’s your relationship.
And, empathy goes all ways (to the children, to the other parent)
My motto: that which does not kill you, makes you stronger
Yeah I definitely say sometimes “he’s a baby, babies cry. He’ll be ok.”
Sometimes it’s about what’s best for them long term vs what’s best for you in that moment. I can have empathy and still make the choice.
