For the love of god please stop with these virtual happy hours. People are burnt the f**k out and being in mandatory fun when I can go for a walk or take a bath to see to my mental health is not beneficial

Schedule the Happy Hour and then send out an email shortly before saying that everyone should use that hour to do whatever the hell they want instead of sitting on another Teams/Zoom call.

Thanks everyone! Believe me, virtual happy hours are not my favorite either but I’ve been tagged with it so trying to make it as painless as possible. Loved the Florida Man idea

Hi all - just joining and looking for some guidance! I am currently in an IT internship position (making pretty solid money considering) and following this summer I will stay on part time during my senior year (discussing a full-time job offer after already). I’m getting my computer science degree, so I would like to do something more technical in the workplace when I graduate. How do I advocate myself for that to my manager without sounding unappreciative of the position I’m in?

Maybe just cover one and they can do the other if they want? Don’t want to be rude if it’s expected but also don’t want to blow our budget… any perspective on the “norm” appreciated!

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
