Does anyone's job have the added little perk of being closed the time between Christmas and New Year's? My last company would close down for the end of the year but this one only gives us Christmas and New Year's Day off 🙁

I THINK most of the big audit firms have the last week off. Not much outside of that.

Though my company does not offer it, 75% of the people that are needed are out, so we might as well be off

Not mine. We have discussed it, but it always ends with the same concept:

We are a 24-hour logistics company and constantly have product moving. If people want time off between the holidays, use PTO.

Oh, I remember when companies used to close between the days between Christmas and New Year’s. Seems like so long ago no we got Christmas day off and then we were back in office by Thursday. We were there Friday. We’ll be there Monday Tuesday get Wednesday off and be back Thursday, Friday for next week so we’ve got one day a week one for Christmas Day and one for New Year’s Day

yes, holiday shutdown is standard for pharma/biotech.

During the Christmas period, most companies only give the statutory two days off. Some companies may close, but you need to use your own PTO, while others may close for one to two weeks and not require you to use your own PTO.

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.

Do you all feel that the Health Insurance choice is actually all the same? The coverage is absolutely copy and paste for Bronze to Platinum and the deductible/copay is very similar.
I just don’t understand why we have the illusion of “choice” if the offer is the same and it is really bad (in our case).
Going from $61 per paycheck for 2.5k deductible 75% copay to $500+ per paycheck with 500 deductible 85% copay.
Other firms have better health insurance?
