At what point in your career should you have an employment contract that isn’t at-will?
Or is at-will employment normal for all levels?

I think Manager level at PwC has built in severance.

I think once you’re at a high-enough level where finding a job at another company is going to take months even in a good economy, some sort of contract is ideal. I would not put manager or even SM in that category though.

I have friends in other industries who start right out of college in contract gigs and it does not seem like something that is great for the worker. Sure you can’t be fired any day, but you also can’t quit.

I negotiated out of an at-will contract but with that came other stipulations like a non-compete

And that you can quit at any point in time eg you can’t get sued for breaking a contract. It goes both ways....

I’ve never had an at will contract.

C-level it’s the norm that it’s a contract

Hey Accenture India any openings for java, i have around 9+ yrs of experience and currently working as project manager at CTS, I am an ex employee of Accenture.

I keep starting huge projects or hobbies and being intensely into it for about 10 days/2 weeks, after which I forget about it and the project just lays around my house for months until I get interested in it again or I toss it out/donate it. It was fine when I was living alone but my partner is seriously frustrated with how messy the house gets and how much I spend on supplies for these things. How can I be less impulsive OR how can I stay motivated past the 10 day mark?? TIA

I’m concerned about the surge in omicron. I packed everything, just in case. Q2 is ending, a new quarter is starting. We get new kids each quarter as a Specials teacher.
It’s stressful at quarter changeovers.
In going back after break, it’s too much of a contrast. I cannot sleep, I wake up in the middle of the night, “for the day”, about 6 nights a week. To stay structured, I go to “Surrender yoga” daily. I’m good to go do 1 more thing after yoga. I feel accomplished. Couching causes anxiety.
