For those of you thankfully still employed but working insane hours with a reduced team due to layoffs and unable to use your PTO — has anyone tired to get theirs rolled over?

Going to use all of my vacation days this year. They won’t let us roll it over and I refuse to lose them since they are part of our compensation.

Heard some agencies were making their employees take their time off ...

Sounds like they’re doing it so they can lay people off w/o having to pay them for unused vacation days.

We can roll up to 10 over (I think that is the cap) and need to use them through March 2021.

We are paused for any launches mid Dec through a couple days after NYE (ux agency) so most of our team will have a 2+ week window to take time off then (before and in between company set days off). They do roll over but up to a certain amount - I can’t remember how much.

We have unlimited vacation and I can’t use any time at all because we are totally scrambling through the holidays. Working right up to thanksgiving, and probably even on it. Then right back to it through Christmas. I’m so tired. I don’t even leave the house during the day. I can’t do much more of this

I got an offer from firm 1 before the memorial holiday and have been stalling because I am waiting for an offer from firm 2..
I was working with a partner from firm 2 who got me an interview with the managing partner.. I got a verbal offer last week.. the staff told me they are processing the paperwork.
Should I still wait for firm 2? I feel like I can’t stall anymore.. I feel like I really should give firm 1 a response this week 😮‍💨 but I don’t want to lose both offers

If recently laid off, waiting to hear back from schools on MBA admissions, do I need to file any paperwork with USCIS before issuance of I-20. I know I have 60 days to change status from H1B to F-1. But not sure if I need to file paperwork or wait for school to issue I-20. Can anyone advise me on this?

Any ideas on how to negotiate a delayed start date? I really want it to be Jan. My mental health needs some time off and this company breezed through interviews to offer in 1 week when I was expecting it to take at least a month. I really need some time to recover from burnout.

I just logged in for open enrollment and see that my benefit costs are increasing quite a bit. Family of 4 - medical/dental/vision will be about $345/pay period plus whatever I contribute to my HSA. Is this the norm now or is this way too much? We are also on an income based rate plan and I recently crossed into the bottom of the most expensive tier so it’s an even bigger hit over the normal YoY increase.

Anyone know if all the layoffs have been completed/announced yet? Honestly, I love my job and there's nowhere else I'd rather work. Want to know if I can exhale yet.

Has anyone or know anyone been fired/layed off and got in another big 4?

Any good detox diets that good to try out and not horrroble for your body? I want to curb some sugar cravings and bad eating habits over the past year. Has anyone done one they liked? I was thinking of starting a 3 day detox then go into 7days of a white meat/fruit cleanse for a week. Then just stop eating like a complete child on holiday after those are done 😅 any advice on what helped you get past the cravings and level set would be helpful! I heard good things about keto but like options.

I'm in North Carolina... and I resigned after eighteen years, with MONTHS of leave I'd accrued and never used. The sheer amount of work put on us was the proverbial straw (documenting EVERY student and parent contact, attendance, then updating attendance, grace-filled grades with no accountability from students, on TOP of the extra state requirements requiring IEP changes from switching back to all virtual from hybrid, and vice-versa.) I am done. I'm just done. And bummed about all that leave...
