Getting sick is against a client-first mentality. Shame on you.

Yeah. At under a weeks notice. Don't fall sick and take an off.

OP, we are not monsters. Call you Partner, tell them you are extremely sick and may end up in a hospital and need for someone to take on your deliverables.

Take care of yourself and feel better!

Good to know! But I feel like every time someone gets sick on my engagements the people on the project team seems to make it look like it’s so convenient for them to be sick. I mean doesn’t that negatively impact your PFF?

How sick? In the hospital? No sane person would fault you for that. But if it's anything less than that or like the flu you should have some significant workarounds to offer if the deliverable is important enough.

BA1 not hospitalization yet. But multiple bacterial and viral infections. May escalate to ER soon.

KPMG - did that CYA

I mean like can the company fire you and not the client. Not really concerned about the client at this point

I need career advice. I have been an office admin for 7 years and want to pivot into project management. I have experience leading small projects.

Looking for advice! I was approved to work remotely but my salary will decrease 10%. I received two raises so the decrease brings me down to my previous salary. I was told that it’s due to the cost of labor in the area.

I’ve been with my company for 8+ yrs, I love my manager and the work I do (engagement, recognition, & wellness programs) but I feel like I’m limiting myself since I have the experience, an HRM degree, and SHRM-CP credentials.

Should I apply for roles outside the company?
