Hi all, after weeks of discontentment and eventually resigning, my partner was transferred to a new manager and team. This new manager has invited the team to their home for dinner, 8pm.

I am uncomfortable about the whole thing, but I am open to feedback on this. Yes or no?

My objections: The time, my spouse just stated they hate this place, my spouse has only met & known these people for 2 days.

I think it’s nice as long as the entire team was invited and your spouse isn’t the only one who goes

Thanks

Agreed, I think it’s fine as long as other colleagues are there.

I understand your trepidations. This is your spouse's deal, but it affects you as well. I don't think you sound awful. I think you sound wary. At home versus a neutral diner or restaurant does sound dicey. Or your partner's new boss is a homey type and wants a stable venue; provided the team is there as well. Your partner is lucky to have you. There is always the " something just came up and I have to leave" break glass in case of emergency routine...💙☮️

Thanks for that perspective

Result: I told my spouse to cancel as they were walking out the door.

Well that was bad timing. He now looks like an idiot because he canceled at the last minute. You just contributed to ruining your partner’s career.

Hi Everyone !!!

This June I completed my 9 months at Career Level 12 and Sub Level 3 I.e, CL 12.3 at
Accenture Operations. My Annual Talent Discussion and One-on-One with People Lead is complete as of last week.

I have 3 questions now :
1. When can I expect to move to 12.2 ?
2. What is the general hike I can expect ? And when it is reflected ?
3. When will be the variable pay will be paid out ?

Can anyone here help me with this performance cycle part ? I am really confused.

I am now actively looking but how do I explain to other employers why I am actively looking and what do I put on my resume? I have never had to deal with this before.

So, some of my co-workers simply said that they want to go ahead and start something or start looking elsewhere (career change) because they don't know how much it will last at the pace we are going in regards to case intake and pay out. Should I start panicking or simply start looking elsewhere? They even they even told me if I was looking elsewhere or planned on doing so also. I found it weird in a way.
