Happy Mother’s Day!

For those that work at big4, does maternity leave benefit only kick in if you’ve worked for the firm for at least a year? Or does it apply immediately?

I will go for maternity leave from mid October. Will I get hike on November? I joined on last year November. Also I got very less variable pay in the month of May. It was 8.5% of my 6months salary. Will it be same percentage on 6months salary or 1yr salary this time?

Hi everyone! I am working with my HR to improve our maternity/paternity leave policy. Currently I only get 2 weeks fully paid and then an additional 8-12 weeks at 60% pay (short term disability). I need some examples of companies with less than 100 employees and what your maternity/paternity policy is. Please include company name! Thanks!!!

Oh no they’re doing a Subservient Chicken for Baby Nut on Twitter

Hey guys… I’m a case worker in child safety and I’m someone who loves being outdoors/dies at a desk all day. I’m hoping to organise that at least once a week I can go to a cafe and catch up on all my case notes that need to go into the system.
So far the only reason I’ve been told no is that “if you do then everyone will want to and then no one will be in the office” … how can I convince them that I work better out of the office and get this freedom & mental break for myself?

Has anyone ever left a role during maternity leave? What is your experience and/or drawbacks of doing this?

What’s it like being a pregnant freelancer? Is it hard to get jobs when you are far along?

Hello! I just started freelancing after 12 years of corporate life with a mix of media strategy, consumer insights and ux research, both agency and brand side. I’d love to connect with other strategists that lean towards the research side of things 😄 or anyone whose team may need some extra hands for project work, parental leave / sabbatical covers, etc. thanks!!

For those of you with immediate family members who are at high risk, how are you doing? I find myself being very anxious and stressed about my father getting sick.

Anybody here a single mother by choice? Would love to chat.

Hi Everyone,

I just need some advice.
My father passed away a few months back and I am yet to obtain the legal heir certificate. Given the ITR deadline is near, should I just file his ITR from his account or is there any other option?

Thanks in advance

Anyone else’s mom driving them crazy about mother of the bride dresses? Wedding is a little over a year out 😂 Any store recommendations for MOB dresses?

I need to let it out but I’m so fucking proud of myself and I just realized how lucky I got and it took me until just now to see it. I started in the military and it only took 2 months for me to get out and fall into a bottomless hole of depression. My transition went from: $13 an hour part time, separation with the wife, new job at $18 an hour for physical labor, hit with disability diagnosis, then $20 an hour new office job, reconnecting with wife, having 2nd kid, nearly divorcing (cont.)

Hi Fishes,

I want to set up a small business in Rajasthan (remote area) for my father, I don’t want him to leave home and stay with family.

Can you please give some ideas on what can be setup for consistent long term profit and also setup cost is not that high.
Thanks in advance.

What are some side gigs people have done that they wouldn't pursue again today? Are there any you'd still go for, but would approach completely differently?

Thinking along the lines of:
- Platforms you'd keep away from
- Gigs that people have missed the boat on by now or instead that have just taken off only now
- Specific hustles that aren't worth the upfront cost/hassle in setting up or that are super hard to hire for
- Policies/attitudes you'd adopt going into things this time around

Has anyone taken STD/parental leave at both Js?

6 months pregnant and just laid off. And 40% of my severance was just taken in taxes .. I just spoke with paid family leave and I no longer qualify even though I had been paying into the program (thanks NY).. I already applied for unemployment but doctors are telling me I’ve got 10-14 weeks left in this pregnancy.. so stressed having twins and being unemployed, no maternity leave, no paychecks coming in, and I’ve been applying but not a single interview.. just ugh. 😭

First baby coming later this year. Looking to buy an SUV. Preferably couple years preowned with under 30k miles on them. Shortlisted BMW X3 , Volvo XC60, Jeep Grand Cherokee. Any other recommendations? Also is Jeep GC even worth considering?

Any superb restaurant recommendations in vail? My wife and I will be celebrating our 10 year anniversary and we just had our first child. Since most dinners these days entail standing over our kitchen island, want to go all out on the food. We already have Matsuhisa and Mt. Standard lined up, curious to hear about any others!

Does anyone have opinions on PepsiCo? Interviewing with their growth strategy team who are mostly ex-MBB from top MBA programs. The work seems interesting and up my alley (CPG Strategy) but this bowls obsession w/ tech makes me think I should be focusing my attentions on FAANG

let's all put paper or atleast look for other opportunities then they come to know how it feels. I am sure people who are in Publicis Sapient are very good in technical skills they can easily get job outside with same CTC.

Do we have managerial round in LTI or only L1 and L2

Just discovered 90DF and completed my first season (s6) and then Happily Ever After. Some thoughts:
- Began as anti-Larissa but Colt basically wants to keep her as a hostage sex kitten under threat of calling cops if she doesn’t fall in line
- Jon and Fernanda - could’ve been a legit couple, had high hopes for them
- (Tr)Ashley - thoroughly unlikeable, doing it for social media likes
- Andrei is on the slope to domestic abuse
- Azan and Nicole - LOL that is a sham marriage if I ever saw one

My weird flex: Colt is actually v handsome (I’m a guy fwiw)

I cant stand Debbie... Is it just me?

Hot mess Darcey, let’s see how long this Georgie fantasy last

This is my favorite bowl ❤️

Do you guys think the Brandon and Julia storyline is real? Can his parents actually be that horrid? Sort of feels like it’s all the producers telling them what to say. They often seem like they’re on the verge of laughter too. Thoughts? Am I creeping into a conspiracy? 😂

Do you think Stephanie is a pain killer addict?

Update: In his IG stories, Paul states that Karine has filed a restraining order preventing him from contacting her or Pierre. On IG, he also posted what looks to be Karine’s statement to the police. The statement does have explicit descriptions of DV/SV and may be triggering, so I did not include it here but you can easily find it on his account if wanted. I hope they all get the help they need.

I think Michael and Natalie have a fake storyline. I don’t get what their issues are other than Michael saying “we have a lot of issues”

What is your favorite 90 Day show and why? Do you love the original or prefer one of the spinoffs?

I’ll start - I’m a Before the 90 Days girl. I like seeing the different countries, cultures, and fish-out-of-water moments the Americans experience.
