Has anyone had success with going part time as an auditor? Specifically a senior associate? How does it work? I want to go part time to be with my baby but not sure if it’s possible.

One of my colleagues worked 3 day weeks because of her baby and still made manager after which she swapped to 4 day weeks. It's doable but you really need people to understand that part time means part time or else you'll just end up working full time hours at part time pay.

That’s encouraging to hear! That would be ideal for me. I don’t want to quit altogether because I don’t want to lose the opportunity to move up in PA. But I also want to be around for my baby as much as I can

I did 3 days a week as a manager. It was difficult to completely cut off from work on my days off when deadlines were nearing. I think it would be easier to do 4 or 5 days a week, but make them short days. It was well worth it to go PT and spend that time with my baby!

Hey everyone. I am not an ADHD consultant, but mom to a 6 year old who is very likely ADHD (we will be starting the diagnosis process soon). I wanted to hear from anyone who was also diagnosed as a young kid on any advice you have for me? Knowing what you do now, would you recommend meds for a 6 year old (if it comes to that)? What other solutions/therapies can I use with my kid? Please, any advice is welcome!

I recently had my first baby and I’m trying to be as practical as possible, I did not get a bunch of baby stuff I just got the essentials, I think they sell you too much unnecessary things. I do appreciate people showing affection with gifts but feel kids now a day are over gifted. Would it be taken wrong if I suggest that for birthdays and Christmas instead of toys people deposit whatever they were going to spend in my baby’s 529 account?

I work in a smaller town with less than 10,000 people and I just found out my shift schedule will be changing, and at least three days a week I'm working my kid's school drop-off time in the morning. Do you think it would be unprofessional to request that I run home in the morning, grab my kids and quickly drop them off at school or ask about making other tweaks to my schedule?

I have a governmental entity client in Texas that wants to offer 6 weeks of paid parental leave for all employees, even those who aren’t eligible for FMLA. After the paid 6 weeks, the employee can choose to continue paid leave using any accrued personal leave.

Texas does not have a paid parental leave statute.

If paid leave above what is required is offered for parents, do we also have to provide the same benefit to other employees that are eligible for unpaid leave?

My Director just took my deck (which I spent the last 3 weeks on), did very VERY minor changes.. and pasted her name on the intro page. There was no name initially, because I was the only person working on this. So now it was just her name, NO MENTION OF ME! And she went ahead and presented to our VP, after telling me that she's gonna do that.

I am SO FRUSTRATED! If you're here and reading this, may you get a crying baby next to you on every flight for the next year!

Due in August and planning to have my mother fly out to help with the baby and stay with us. She has been quarantining and is very careful but the flight is what concerns me. She lives far so driving isn’t an option and I really need the help. She plans to be careful but she’d be here with a newborn at the same time. Is it a bad idea?
