For people who grew up celebrating Memorial Day, do you feel like it’s gradually become more of a “summer kickoff” holiday for a lot of people? Not even saying that in a judgmental way, just feels different than how I thought about it when I was younger.

💯 It is a summer kickoff holiday and a sales event.

True for the sales event too!

Yes—definitely a summer kick off holiday these days, unfortunately

I think a lot of people take advantage of the three day weekend for a short trip, but I still notice a lot of people respecting the reason for the holiday.

One of my coworkers thinks she deserves more PTO than it is allowed in our agency because she's "struggling". We all struggle with our own battles but she's being very rude about it. How can we handle this?

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected. I proceed to ask how much PTO is offered and he said that is not recommend within the first 6 months of working and the harder you work the more PTO you receive. From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?
