Didn’t think to ask who was in Ptown for the 4th. Hope everyone had a great holiday!

Hi guys 👋🏻

This is in regard to entering the time on Workday.

For a taking 'Privilege Leave (Vacation Leave)', what will be the absence type out of the 3-
1. Annual Leave? or
2. Casual Time Off? or
3. Compassionate)?

Thanks in advance :)

Husband and I have been on a long journey TTC, and haven’t been on a vacation since September, just before we found out about our second trimester loss. Now, he doesn’t want to plan any trips so we can save $ for IVF - planned retrieval in late March. Would you recommend we do *something* to get out of town, or will I want to hunker down as I go through retrieval(s) and transfer? It’s been a long, sad slog.

I'm currently in the process of looking for new work. I've scaled it to be around 6-8 months before I can leave. I have so many projects on me and never enough coverage to even take a weeks pto. I feel immense guilt if I put in two weeks and call it quits. Yet I have people booking me months in advance for work, without consideration if I'm doing okay. My pto is always maxed out and I'm burned out. I love the work that I do just not my company's treatment of its employees.

How does your firm treat COVID leave? My firm is giving me credit for time off but I was out for nearly 10 days. (the worst version of covid I have ever experienced). I feel uneasy about my November hours as having covid in the middle of the month and the holiday really threw off my productivity and workload. I know it will likely all be fine but need some words of wisdom.

I found the following perks in Deloitte should also be considered at RISE

1. Office Phone reimbursement
2. Well-being allowance yearly 25k
3. Vacation allowance of 25k
4. Amount of Rewards and Recognition min 5k compared to current reward Rs.1500

Hello everyone! I’d love your thoughts…
I was laid off in May and been on the job hunt for 4 months. Finally received a offer. Then a week later another offer. I was working remotely for the past year & I’m struggling w/ the idea of being onsite. Neither job is on my desired career path, my goal is people operations/HR operations.
Offer 1: Payroll Admin, on-site. 72k, 216 hrs PTO
Offer 2: HR Payroll Admin, Remote. 62.5K + 6k sign on bonus, 70k after 6 months, 144 hrs PTO

Any holiday parties that I should know about? I'm new to NYC

Those who have unlimited PTO - how many weeks do you REALLY take off? Do your requests always get approved? Are you fully offline or still checking email?

Are there any firms out there that actually let you take all your PTO? I hate that we have to make up our PTO to meet utilization targets. Been on a capped 40-hour project for the last two years and it’s had a terrible effect on my utilization.

Plus, any firms that don’t require more working for free (like all of our BS firm contributions here at D)?

Supervisor said I couldn’t have week off for vacation this summer bc another coworker of higher seniority asked off the same week and two people can’t go on vacation at the same time because of staffing. But this coworker that asked off works different shift than me? He works 1st shift I work second. We have a total of 8 workers and no more than 4 work a day. can easily be covered. This has never been a problem until this year (we got a new supervisor). we’re used to being short staffed anyway

Hello Everybody.
I really need leave for two weeks. My project does not have long leave policy but it has strict target policy. The last best leave I took was for 4 days only. I really need a long leave so I can have a vacation atleast once. it's been 3 years I worked in my current project. Never taken a long leave. Plz suggest me good ideas. I'm not sick but getting depressed day by day.

So my bf of 3 months put on some weight. He wasn’t the fittest before, but he’s put on some weight due to stress from work and holidays. It’s starting to bother me. How do I tell him he should loose some? I’ve hinted on work out classes together, training for a run together and told him I’ll be dropping 5 pounds in the next 3 weeks to get ready for a beach holiday end of year, but he’s like “cool. Go for it! I’ll take it slow”
Any ideas that doesn’t hurt his feelings ?

I received an offer I can’t turn down. My company had a few others leave recently, and my close counterpart is on vacation until October, so the GC and rest of the company will likely be in disarray after I leave.

Any advice on how to put in my 2 weeks? I’d prefer to leave on a good note and not a sour one…

Just curious 🧐…. Anyone works for an organization that has added Juneteenth to their calendar or created a DEI event? Or have you requested that time off and spoke your to direct supervisor and discussed that the PTO request is due to Juneteenth? Or are you a meh 🫤?

How long do you stay on holiday leave for the holiday season?

Are there any other Project Managers who have ADHD ? What type of PM work do you do? Outside of it just not being what I want for a career path if I advance / I don’t find it rewarding anymore, I have greatly struggled as I’ve moved up and now with the simplest things. I’m turning in my notice this week because of how badly it affects my well being especially the last year and a half. I plan to take a long time off and look for something once I have resigned. Any insight is appreciated.

So no holiday bonus? Cool

What are some easy to make, low stress holiday meals for a school holiday staff party? I was "volunteered" by our principal to set it up this year (🙄). I'm making decorated sugar cookies but kind of drawing a blank when it comes to savory dishes. Bonus points if you have any adult holiday themed games or fun drinks to suggest! It's off school property and there will be a bar (thank god), for context.

I’m taking a few calls for new opps at a couple different firms and wanted to get a pulse on feelings from folks who actually work there to help me narrow it down. Agencies are: Weber Shandwick, Ruder Finn, FleishmanHillard and a smaller boutique called LifeSci Communications. From The sounds of other threads on here, I’m nervous about WS. Looking for a read on Work/Life balance, how well staffed they are, avg pay range (VP level), PTO/holidays/benefits, etc. So, how do you like working there?

I’ve been out as a trans woman in my workplace for a few years and I have had amazing support from most people however it is disheartening when I occasionally get miss gendered and also when I’m the afterthought for the ladies activities. Even though I feel comfortable in my own skin and around my coworkers it starts to get in my nerves the sad realization that some of them will never see me as a “real” woman, can anyone relate?

Hey boys 🙃

My bf is not expressive in saying I love you. I am fine with it most of the time but I just miss hearing it from him. Also, he still keeps calling me friend between us, but as bf with other people. He’s showing love in other ways like gifts, quality time and good s*x. I’ll meet his family this 4th of July! After typing this, I dont know why I am complaining. Sorry.

This is kinda uncomfortable to talk about but I’m having a hard time finding guys who are interested in something more then causal sex like a serious relationship. I’m 29, former college athlete still in shape, make over 250k. I feel like if I was straight, I would be the perfect bachelor. But with guys I feel like no one is interested in much outside of sex. Is that common or is it just me?

update from previous talking to a guy at the beginning of quarantine and becoming serious. our month is coming up this week!
