Can an employer keep you at work without running water? We don’t have access to running water for the day and our employer won’t let anyone work from home- 15 minutes away for most of us. We are told to use hand sanitizer for our hands and to have a water bottle with us to flush our bathroom waste. I feel like this shouldn’t be okay..

There you go. Creative Dir 1 just answered your question. Any blow back for you leaving could constitute as retaliation.

What country is this? If in US call the local health department anonymously. You’ll be working from home tomorrow.

Does that mean toilets won't flush either?? Unless this is only on one floor, and you have access to a bathroom on another floor, there needs to be other arrangements made.

toilets only flush if there is water in the tank. we only have the one floor. OSHA was called today on this.

Has anyone just taken a break from work without anything lined up? Every offer I’ve gotten wants me to start in a month and with 2 weeks notice that leaves me only 2 weeks to recharge. For my mental health I really think I need an extended break (like 3 months). I have about 60k liquid to sustain myself and pay about $1500 a month in rent.

Hello Fishers,

I have YOE - 5 Y and PGDM as highest education. CTC - 9.35 and have received 3 offers -

TIAA (Product) - 16 LPA Fixed (In Discussion)

Xcaliber (Service) - 16 LPA Fixed

Which will be a better offer considering WLB and growth? Is the salary as per industry standard or should I negotiate for more? Also is it worth moving from product to service company?

I applied for a job and received an offer from my client. 15k+ bump in salary, better benefits/remote work, and responsibilities will give me exposure to all areas of the organization (start up). The problem is that they’re looking to staff me as a Senior when I’m currently a Manager at DT. They said they’re flexible on title, but curious to hear how others have navigated similar situations. I would report directly to the controller and have 1-2 staff reporting to me...
