Best guided adventure trip outfits? Looking to get away in February. I’ve realized that I need to get away soon as I’m feeling some cabin fever. I love doing outdoorsy stuff - hiking, kayaking, canyoning, caving. Might do a ski trip, too, soon, but looking for something a bit more rugged. I prefer guided trips for the camaraderie and perceived safety benefits :). Any ideas? For context, I did a white water rafting and camping trip to the Grand Canyon last summer and loved it.

Anyone has intel on Digitas (Boston) maternity leave benefits?

Spouse makes significantly less income than I (both F/T), and they have only just started saving (~$40K in 401k at 42yo). My individual retirement outlook looks solid, but combined not so much. I'd like to use some of my cash/investment savings to pay off the house faster, do more renovations, etc, but I know I would feel bitter that I would be paying for all of it. Does anyone have a similar situation? Do you look at it differently or have a strategy?

This general strike talk has really got me re-evaluating my whole career. I can’t complain about compensation, I’m paid well, I have benefits, and I have a roof over my head. But the work life balance and unsustainable productivity expectations that have been created by agencies that won’t say no to clients needs to change. We place/create ads to turn millionaires into billionaires while we’re treated terribly. Something’s gotta give. I don’t know a single person who isn’t burnt out right now

What are most company standards for vacation time and PTO for a group of 25 and lower of employees? We do 5 days after 1 yr, 10 day after 2yrs 15days after 5yrs and 20days after 10yrs. PTO is accrual monthly after your first 90 days. 32-40hr average is full time, 25-32hr average is part-time.

Why do people account for what’s in their 401k? In my mind it’s not readily tangible. Not to be morbid but you may never live to access it, so just curious as to why people include that when discussing assets? Am I missing something?

question for women: what is your open and honest opinion when people refer to a group as “you guys” in emails/chats? I’ve been very cognizant to use gender neutral pronouns but I’m curious if anyone really cares (I understand there might be no right or wrong but I’m curious where the majority stands) Also, is it weird if I email a group with only women and say “Ladies,…” I know that sounds weird but if it’s a group of men I’ll say “Gentlemen,….”

I’m worried my boss knows I keep breaking into their house. Most weekday evenings my boss is out dining with clients, so like any other junior employee I take that time to enter their home and go through their stuff. Last week my boss found my ID card in their bathtub (I needed a quick wash while there). While I’m not doing anything technically wrong, I don’t want to create friction at work. Any advice?
