Decided to be a good sport today and go into the office for a hybrid meeting. Did the zoom meeting and now I’m sitting in my stuffy office with my shitty system, sending emails. Meanwhile I’ve billed about a .3 all day. Fuck this I’m out.

I actually had the opposite experience today. I hadn’t been to the office since December but went today. Got in at 9:30am and have billed 6 hours thus far, been in multiple meetings, had lunch with my team, and overall had a successful day. Have one more meeting and I’m out.

That said, I have no interest in going in again tomorrow and hope to continue avoiding being in person as much as possible moving forward.

Has anyone seen any unique places to find UX portfolios or post jobs other than the usual suspects?
Some UX Slack channels were doing well for a while but I definitely don’t see as much traction there. Meetups obviously came and went. Even the portfolio sites like Dribbble and Behance don’t seem that same.

Mac or HP or Dell: I prefer Mac notebooks. However it seems there might be limitations with the use of Skype or other applications based on materials I have seen. What do you all recommend is the best laptop for working at Deloitte?

When is it either allowed or seen as OK to start using FTO? I recently started here and while I’m not looking to slack off and take time off, I just want to know how it works.

Advice needed on handing in notice, I recently signed an offer letter and understand the screening process takes 4-6 weeks. I have a month's notice period and have agreed a preliminary start date in Feb.

I was planning on not handing my notice in until the checks had been completed so its all secured (not that I think I will fail any checks), but apparently I need a reference from my current employer not previous ones. Can't really do this without handing in notice can I?
