For the TAX peeps: What's the deal with taking days off or a vacation during first two week of January? Is that too crazy to pull off?

Depends if you work a lot with provisions or audits. If not, then you'll probably be fine

I feel like usually things aren't picking up until the end of Jan - as long as you approve in enough advance you should be fine

Depends who you work with. If you have a good relationship with them and nothing is due the following week, you're probably okay. I took FAR the first week of January and everyone was more than understanding.

What if your planning on starting at another firm and your vacation was booked before you started?

Then they definitely shouldn't have work for you in Jan if you're a newbie - just tell them before you accept your job offer that it was already planned

You think they just left transfers sit around in January? ^ uh

After 3 years of dealing with the worst firm I've ever had the displeasure of working for, I finally landed my dream gig at a small specialty firm. The people at the new firm are all SMEs featured in and contributors to the most notable business publications in the world, less than 100 employees, better benefits, unlimimted PTO, doubled my pay and landed a senior role.

Keep looking for what you want and deserve. I'm happy to be forging a better path away from what I've had to endure.

I have been at my company for a little less than 4 years now. I’ve had the third highest sales last year out of a team of 50 and consistently the highest outbound calls per week. They told me I can start WFH once I hit $1mil in profit, but then rescinded right before I hit the goal. They have also denied simpler request like time off, when I know they have approved this before for others. I feel super unappreciated, but the money is great. I’m not sure if I should look elsewhere and start over?
