Do we think Accenture might move to an unlimited PTO model?

A parent of one of my students told admin she thinks it's irresponsible that I won't be grading over Christmas break. I let the students know to get any work they need graded in before the break and I'll get it to it during our workdays in January. Apparently that's not fast enough for her 🙄. Is it wrong that I'm sort of pissed off by this? Should I say something?

I am about to go FL as an Account Director. My first gig is going to be a year long. What is the standard practice around taking time off? I want to take advantage of the freedom FL offers & travel

Have people been using PTO during the pandemic? Kind of feel like I need a break, but don’t want to use PTO to just sit around the house.

What’s been your most impressive/successful salary negotiation when you’ve received an offer? Did you manage to get way more PTO or other perks?

Starting with our very first IVF cycle this week and kinda nervous 🤞
Nurse says retrieval to happen tentatively around 18th Dec but then transfer can take place in early February too considering genetic testing takes weeks. Is this the norm? Just fearing the team is not unnecessarily delaying things owing to holiday break.

If you do billable work on a given PTO/vacation day, do you still count that day as vacation? Or do you get that vacation day "back"? Or do you only get the part that you billed "back"? (Or some other option.)

Do vacation hours accrue while on parental leave?

Does anybody have ideas on how to use 2 weeks of vacation during covid? Can’t visit family without international travel, most friends are with their family/SOs and social distancing. Pto is expiring so it’s use it or lose it. Im in NYC. Thank you!

Cannot wait for my next vacation!

Fishbowlers - do you book your vacation and ask for forgiveness later, or ask for the green light from your PM and then book?

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

Just had a look at some start-ups that are hiring and a lot of them offer unlimited vacation days... think this is a good practice?

My local Safeway is already stocking Valentine's Day chocolates. What would they do without holiday candy to sell? Is this their main purpose? I wonder what they do in off season (if that exists)

Booking 2 SPG rooms for vacation (one for my parents) but the hotel is not honoring any platinum benefits for the second room (e.g. Lounge, breakfast) Anything I can do about that or is that normal?

On vacation and hallucinating the Slack ping sound anytime it gets quiet.

Ok production companies. Say I’ve got 3 weeks for you to divide up until I need to shoot. How much time do you want to bid/treat the job and how much do you want to prep? 1 week bid/treat, 2 weeks prep?

Have cleared my first round a week ago but still they are unable to schedule second round. Notice is about to end in 3 weeks.

I just started a new job 2 months ago, benefits and PTO don’t start until 90 days in so I still have a month before I can take off any time, and today found out my company doesn’t offer paid maternity leave.
I’m really struggling handling the symptoms and maintaining my full time job. Thinking about looking for a part time job to have more time to myself through the pregnancy since I won’t be getting a paid leave anyways, but lost on where to start looking. Any recommendations?

I love incident response, I really do. But I'm sick to death of late night weekend inbounds.
