Going through family emergency but family member is refusing help (addiction) - should I just take PTO vs. leave of absence? Really worried and don’t know where to go

Is it true that you end up getting shafted with internal transfer opportunities? I understand there would be no sign on bonus, but long term are you really sacrificing that much in pay (pay is increasing with internal transfer)? Obvious benefits of internal are keeping PTO/401K vest/pension

This is our first holiday season in the Nashville area, any suggestions on family activities/light displays we should check out? Our kids our 8, 5, and 3.

Would you leave a full time position that you are not happy and take an on going contact role ( like permalance) for more salary, access to benefits (minimal cost), but no paid PTO?

Has anyone in partner ranks been able to take an actual, fully disconnected vacation of at least a full work week in the last 18 months? Genuinely curious.

How does your firm deal with underperforming associates? We are crazy busy but have a couple first-years on vacation, 50-100 hours per month, and thinking we are a "lifestyle" firm. I don't want to just fire them, at least not yet, but I want to see a change. How many second chances do you give? How many months under budget?

Does Slalom provide any extra days off in addition to vacation? For example, short days on summer Fridays and closure between Christmas and New Years?

I have been offered a position in-house at a $500M-$1B company, mid-sized city LCOL, 10 YOE in private practice. They offered me $120k, w opp for undefined discretionary bonus. No paid parental leave or 401(k) match & only 1 week PTO in first year (but claim they have discretion for more). Is there any way to salvage this? Salary guides suggest TC should be around $200-215k. I want to get my foot in the door but this seems crazy low.

In need of advice- my friends have excluded me a few times claiming "they know I have work". I've told them outside of jan-march I have unlimited PTO. They all went on a road trip this weekend and didn't tell me. Should I tell them that it's hurtful, let it go, or ghost them? We've been friends since 8th grade but this has been a reoccurring theme for the past few years.

When the client talks about add on work and your partner puts a big sticker of the clients logo on his laptop ...only fair since they are helping pay for his vacation house

I would love some advice. I told my manager I wanted to resign. I was planning on giving a 1 month notice. (the ppl are great but the product is meh and the projects I was assigned were highly complex causing me to feel overwhelmed and anxious. I've never been an anxious person.)I'm interviewing at other places no offers yet. My boss and her manager offered me to take a 2-3 week vacation (I used 1 week in a year, I have DTO), reshuffle my projects, and offered me a mentor. Should I stay or not?

What is Havas' PTO policy?

Wonder how long I could keep collecting checks if I accepted an offer at one of those scam ass “unlimited PTO" companies and dipped the first week without returning.

Anyone celebrating the holiday during work today?

My school has seen combinations of f2f, hybrid, and remote teaching/learning throughout the first half of the school year. After the MLK holiday, our district is returning to traditional f2f teaching 100%. I have 4 band classes (1 beginning, 2 intermediate, & 1 advanced), and as far as content pacing is concerned, we’re 1 9-week grading period behind. Is it a far fetched goal to get my students where they need to be by the end of the school year? How would you handle a situation like this?

Could you all imagine if we took a day of pto and all had a fb party? Public accounting would cease to exist.

Folks who have been to Ireland - I’m considering Dublin, Galway, West Ireland, and / or Killarney. Any thoughts / recommendations? I’ve never been and want to do a road trip for vacation. Thanks!

Currently 1) actively applying, interviewing and preparing for product cases, 2) have a full workload (+ 1 of my team members is on a long PTO), and 3) keep getting pulled into proposals. I have ZERO motivation to help on the proposals but can’t avoid them or push them off 😔

Going through a breakup and a lot of family issues. Haven’t felt this down in a long time and I’m really struggling to focus on work today. Is it worth taking a day off? Not sure time off will help and sometimes work is a good distraction but I can’t get myself to find an ounce of care for it today

I’m in a bit of a conundrum. I am the Marketing Director in a space where they have never had marketing before. I created a new website, a shorter domain for emails etc and I manage all social media, advertising, creative, brand awareness etc. my boss is constantly challenging me on sales. Our analytics have increased by about 30% on all platforms and he wants to “fire” or get out of advertising contracts because he wants people in the doors for sales. I am having a hard time reflecting my worth

Did Slalom ever have a covid vaccination policy in place, like a condition of employment? Thank you.

I’m looking into ultra wide monitors to use for home office. I thought it might be cleaner to do a dual screen instead of having two separate monitors. For this purpose, should I be looking at 32:9 ratio monitor, or is 21:9 ratio sufficient?
