How much time does it take the Home office to provide approval on CoS. Specifically for SVW?
CoS is taking more time than anticipated and it is getting difficult to plan the actual joining date and put down notice at current firm.

Damn I miss my life before the pandemics (the home office part can stay, though).

Trying to avoid paying an accountant, can I actually write off home office space/mileage if I was just permalancing for 3 months last year? Shouldn’t the 7 months of W2 take care of this 1099 shit?

In an attempt to be healthier, I built a permanent standing desk. Now, once every couple hours my Apple Watch reminds me “it’s time to stand up” and I feel superior to all those chair sitters out there.

What’s your age, home office, staff level, years in public accounting, and base salary?

Please help suggest good standing desk brand!!

Have you ever taken a LOA to check in to a mental health facility? What was the experience of going on leave and coming back?
I think I need inpatient treatment, but I’m so scared of negative work impacts that I’ve put it off and tried to push through with just therapy. It’s not working.

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything. I was looking at both SHRM-CP and SPHR. Everyone that I have spoken to has the SHRM, but that’s also only looking at individuals in a small geographic footprint and within 3-4 different companies. I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

I was recently in Spain and my Spanish is native as well as my English, but I had the opportunity to attend the musical of the Lion King. I had already seen it in English and wanted to try it in Spanish, and although it is the same music the language change felt like total madness. Is this normal?

The freeze on federal student loan interest is set to end on September 30th, do we think it’s going to get extended past then? It doesn’t seem like things are going to be much better come September, so it feels like extending to at least January would make sense?

How do you distinguish between the feelings of being really ambitious (big dreams and goals) vs. being unsatisfied (always wanting more, not being zen about existing accomplishments)?

A coworker asked me to do something, I should have questioned it but did it because I trusted their seniority. I got called out for it by our boss on an email. Should I say something? I am planning to apologize to my boss and mention I’ll run it by them next time. But not sure if I should mention I had checked with my coworker who was in charge of that area.

I recently accepted a position with a new org. One of the benefits I asked about with offer was the parental leave policy and was told (in writing by HR) 16 weeks paid after 1 year, which is as good as you can hope for in US. Now I’ve been sent the employee handbook to review/sign and it says only 12 weeks, which is less than the org I’m leaving. What might my recourses be to negotiate 16 weeks when the time comes? Also, should I be viewing this is a red flag?

How can a Creative Director become an consultant? And are there interesting consultancy jobs leaning towards creative?

Confused if parents want schools to reopen or not? I read so many posts here about how difficult it is to work full time and manage kids’ at-home schooling (I can’t even imagine!) so would assume that means parents want to reopen, but at the same time keep seeing a ton of backlash from parents in states who are pushing to reopen due to safety reasons. What’s the general consensus?
