Hi my fellow bowlers I have a question about the signing bonuse agreement. If you hand in notice 2 weeks before the signing bonus period ends but have more than 2 weeks vacation left. Would I still need to pay back DT? Or do I need to wait until the actual period end then give notice to avoid repaying?

Notice etiquete question. If you give your 2 weeks’ notice on a Monday, is your last day a Monday (2 weeks later) or can it be the previous Friday? Does your answer change depending on the time (morning/ afternoon) notice is given?

If I don’t want to potentially burn any bridges, should I just have my notice period end on a Monday and just take that day out of my scheduled vacation before starting my next job?

First time giving notice - would be interested in hearing what others have done.

Husband and I have been on a long journey TTC, and haven’t been on a vacation since September, just before we found out about our second trimester loss.

Would you recommend we do *something* to get out of town, or will I want to hunker down as I go through retrieval(s) and transfer? It’s been a long, sad slog.

I start stims in July and am likely to have to travel during the 2 weeks on stims leading up to egg retrieval - is it easy to fly with all the medication or is it just not worth it because you feel so bad & hard to predict when the retrieval will need to be? I have PCOS and v high risk for OHSS if that’s relevant. Also - how far before stims did you stop drinking? Thank you!
