Curious what firms are doing to keep people socializing during COVID. I miss my coworkers but I'm sick of zoom calls.

So there are a few associates I consider my friends at work and instead of trying to keep up this weird zoom socialization which seems forced, we just call each other and shoot the shit. Don’t forget that is an option!

As far as organized activities? I don’t know. There was a wine and cheese tasting that went well. Another firm had a ricotta making class. Otherwise the firm has organized a broadway musical night, a magician and a few interesting lectures but you didn’t interact with people for those.

Hi, I had applied 5 sick leaves on ultimatix in September(3rd week) and my supervisor(currently rmg) had approved them then it went to HR approver. The HR was taking too much time to approve so I asked her on 7th October that it is pending with you, kindly approve. She told she is not able to see the leaves in her queue and told to cancel and raise it again. I did that and now for that 5 days timesheet leave has been generated and I am not able to cancel them. Any solutions please.

Curious your thoughts on this...

my role currently is project management but I'm getting pretty sick and tired of it having done it since 2011. Looking to get out of this job family and work in my bread and butter which is strategy, project delivery, GTM, and analytics.

However, PM work is safe and there's a demand for it just not super challenging or stimulating.

Has anyone else been through this? Thoughts to consider?
