Do any firms actually have off today? What's with Accenture not giving off any holidays? I don't know a single non-consultant who is working today...

Generally if it’s a holiday where only some clients are off, in this case mostly government and FS, the big firms will be open as too many of our clients will be.

FWIW I’ve never had Presidents Day off, even in school.

I don't know a single non-FS client that is closed today. Go do some work.

Unless you are in government or financial services, most federal holidays are not paid vacation days. So yeah, working. As is my client. I actually don't know anyone who has the day off.

Deloitte is working today

I'm off. Bit client dependent though.

OW is off. I think strategy firms tend to be off, but it’s busy season for audit and tax, which can influence the strategy groups in Big 4 as well

Sony is off today 🤷🏻‍♂️

Booz Allen is off. But I’m working

We have it off but I've worked half the day because the client doesn't have it off and there have been calls.

How did you tell your manager you’re pregnant? Did it affect pay/promos? And then, subsequently, how did you start letting colleagues know you’re pregnant? Feels awkward to just randomly drop the news in a meeting! I work remotely so it’s hard to tell by video :) I’m 21 weeks and feel like I’ve waited as long as I can to at least notify my manager. I was waiting to negotiate my salary for next year but per company trend that doesn’t get set until January (manager reviews are written in Dec).
