Happy to review and refer for Deloitte UK
I see several posts from people asking how they can help during these times with a few extra $$$ to spend. Here is just one of many ideas.

#stepuptothetable is about helping local restaurants who are struggling during these times. I have seen numerous linkedin posts with videos where people challenge each other to step up to the table & buy meals & gift cards from their community restaurants. A great way for those of us who are more fortunate to support business & keep people employed.
Why don't recent grads know how to use excel?

I have acquaintances, people who I can make small talk with. It becomes muddy when someone who reports to me needs counseling or discipline, so I keep my distance with staff. Even with peers or those I directly report to - I stay off of the radar as much as I can; polite but never entrusting anyone with private or personal info. This is my job and source
of income; I have trusted friends and family outside of work for social connections and prefer to keep it that way. I used to have "besties" at previous jobs, and while it filled a social need - it wasn't productive for me and absolutely affected my ability to efficiently provide care.

So where do you go to offload or chill and chat?
Yes I do. I said I wasn't going to make any friends at my new job and I just became best friends with a coworker. We literally talk every single day on the phone and I wouldn't be able to get through my job without her.
No. The less people know about my personal life, the better.
I thought I already did this survey 🤣
Yes I do. After 10 years with the same people every day, it's hard not to. I have 2 ladies who I now consider family.

Awwww that's lovely. I hope to build such connections but haven't managed it yet. I think our personalities play such a huge part in all this
I have "best work friends", and we're always in pretty regular contact, but rarely socialize with them outside of work.

I thought I did... But again, it's blown up in my face. I've only had one work friend truly stick, I think it's pretty rare. 💎
Yes! Honestly she saved me from the torture. We had been really short staffed for months and my spirit was crushed. Then my new coworker joined our team and she brought my soul back. She made me enjoy being at work with her kind spirit and humor 🫶. I’m really sad that I am moving at the end of this month because I will no longer be able to work and interact with such a wonderful person like her.
😭😘 sorry to hear that. I too lost my work wife 6 months ago. The good news is we still keep in touch but boy do i miss when we would carpool and just seeing her everday at work
Yes

I am sure we all have atleast one person at work that we prefer to have around and they just cheer us up... atleast I hope we all do
I live in the northeast. More specifically Philadelphia PA. Ppl are cut throat and in all my professional careers I have never been able to honestly trust any coworkers. I don't enjoy being expected to constantly over share, I'm friendly and approachable, trustworthy and loyal, but no. I don't want anyone being all up in my personal life work related or not.
