Lesson 2 - In the second mail - Tell, don’t ask. Write “as I wrote in my last note I am planning to be on vacation from May 1 to May 30, I will be in India and unable to use my work laptop. I am working with so and so to work on this and this to backfill me during my vacation. Please let me know if I should do anything else.”

But the protocol my EM shared was to ‘get an approval’ from the partner, then my Project Manager, then my Counselor. So in order to get an approval I would have to ask all these folks, no?

Then you won’t ever go on a vacation. Tell your counselor and partner. They don’t care. Work with PM to backfill you so call them, don’t email.

like

Contact your counsellor have him/her pursue or ping your PPED.
I assume this is your practice lead and not engagement PPED.
If Counsellor route fails, ping EM informing them that you got no reply and will follow up for the Xth time. Copy EM and Counsellor on the follow up

OP, Any updates?

This to be is bizarre - if you can sufficiently find coverage within your project you don’t need to care. Vacation is a right given to you as part of your compensation’

What level are you? I hardly remember ever letting my partner know of my vacation in email. Have you tried talking to them and letting them know, checking if this is workable for you and the team?

Schedule a meeting with the partners and the email him and say as ‘per our discussion’

I have a possible opportunity at Protiviti. Coming from big4 and wondering if Protiviti has fairly similar perks. I’ve read the 2022 benefits guide and it gave a oddly low PTO count of 16 days. Is this true and what about a holiday disconnect in the December time period? Are there any other hidden perks that are awesome? Already heard WLB is better and the culture, but I feel like I’ve gotta find that out first hand. Protiviti

I have been at my current firm for about 1.5 years, and in that entire time the partner in my group hasn't been out of the office a single time. Is that normal? I can't tell if it's standard for big law partners to not take time off, if the dynamics for my group may be different (only 1 partner in the entire group), or it the partner I work with is just a masochist.

What are ways to get more vacation time?

I’m feeling a little suffocated with the standard two weeks with all my family events this year.

I have been working in SEA region last 4 years. I feel burned out. I have 10yoe, I have try to move to other country but I pretty much suck in LeetCode. I want to take some time off to unwind, finish some personal business, and really prepare for interviews. I would like to hear from you. Should I quit to my current manager(5th so far) or wait after mid year performance review, when a new boss will take over my team? I'm thinking on giving them 2 months notice period. By contract is 1.

Thanks
