Expats from the US or elsewhere outside Australia/NZ, how do you navigate the holiday season? Do you fly home, or fly people out to you? If you stay in Australia how do the seasonal holiday celebrations differ from back home? Trying to decide what to do, first year living in Sydney.

Are there any other Project Managers who have ADHD ? What type of PM work do you do?

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.

Hi everyone. A friend knows that I do Staffing recruiting and this agency is in charge of providing medical benefits, PTO, and Holiday pay. I run the branch, I'm responsible for coaching, maintaining attendance, and dealing with verbal and written warnings, and termination. We use TempWorks to track everything from interviews, onboarding, E-Verify, background and drug screening, and payroll as well. I document everything. Ok, so my question is do I need any HR specific certifications?

I recently came to know few things about IBM which i didn't know before joining -
Officially 22 vacation leaves are there but can't take more than 15, if you take it your utilisation goes down for that year, and automatically performance will be impacted.

Sick leaves/ casual/compensating leaves all kind of leaves are going to impact utilisation, and then performance.

Only 12 leaves can be carry forwarded to next year, so at the end of year remaining leave balance will be lapsed.

My question for you is - what did you or didn’t you like about how your work treated you when you had time off to have kids?
