Who's calling out sick tomorrow?🍾🥂
I was laid off during Deloitte‘s mass layoff in July of last year. I have worked as an independent contractor since and projects haven’t been consistent at the client I’m working for. I’m looking to get back into a big firm and was seeing if anyone would be able to refer me or help get my foot in the door. I was a business analyst for 1.5 years at Deloitte and have several years of additional experience which I’d be more than happy to share.

Huh?
This is so sad to re-read. I hope you took the day off tomorrow, sounds like you need it.

No. You’re human and it’s been a tough year and a half for everyone. We spend so many of our waking hours with our colleagues - we’re in trouble if we can’t be human around them. Don’t sweat it. And take that time off, you deserve it.

It’s happened to me.
It’s like my body/mind knows it’s desperate for time off and needs it so bad that your conscious self realizes it, and it becomes an overwhelming emotion of knowing you need that for yourself, and can’t believe it’s gotten that bad that you tear up in front of people at work so that realization makes you tear up more.
At least that was my stream of consciousness when it happened to me. That’s when I realized I needed to take a long vacation, and then come back to talk to a psychologist regularly and sort myself out.
What?

Why don’t you just take some time off Christ
Jesus fix it 🙏🏼
Ummmm yeah. If you were drinking, STOP that during team events. No one will forget this even 5 years from now. And I don’t say this in a mean way, just remember that not all your colleagues are going to be as empathetic.
Reach out to your loved ones, covid has been tough on us all.

2 years at Deloitte and grateful that taking PTO has never been a problem all I have to do is let them know when. You really should just let leadership know you are taking PTO - don’t ask - tell. Sounds like you shouldn’t really be drinking either. Take care my friend.

In my 7 years of work across 2 companies I have never once had vacation denied. I give a ton of notice, and I just tell them it’s happening. I have taken multiple 3 week vacations. I just make sure it’s in policy and let em know what’s happening.
Seriously let a manager try to ding your review due to taking vacation.
Where are you going to team dinners? You’re back in person?
D1 not exactly a team dinner but we are doing happy hours again. Just at the team level I think.
Sounds like your married to work. I’d advise you to cheat on that hoe…
