Hi fellow Aussie consultants. Today’s R U OK day, and whilst I believe one should ask this question on any day, it’s a good reminder for us.

Given recent tragic events at EY and the pressures we face with daily, please make sure to speak to your loved ones if required. Mental health is real. I’m happy to lend an ear too.

Aim of this bowl is for us to help each other as best as we can, more so than anything else. I hope everyone is doing ok, happy Friday Jr!

Stay awesome, people 😊

Is your district providing SLP’s PPE or are you responsible for supplying your own? I have heard a ton about teachers and feel that we are being lumped in with them. Districts are not recognizing that we are health care professionals working in an academic environment. We are at much higher risk do to the nature of our work.

Do you think WFH will end suddenly once a vaccine is available? What if you don't get the vaccine?

Okay, it’s time to stop putting on a face about this. I love my boyfriend so much, but covid is ruining us. We are both still WFH and argue every few days about the dumbest stuff. My and his mental health are both diminishing and it feels like an impossible trench to dig out of. My stomach hurts every time we fight and I (independent of him) feel so stuck in this horrible global crisis. I don’t want to lose him, but I need to figure out how to dig us both out of this unsustainable mental state.

Anyone ever gotten COVID before an exam? I just got it and I test Saturday. I called about it and they said to cancel it and I might get either a refund or extension. If anyone has had this happen did you get an extension? If so, how long was it?

Friendly reminder folks- don’t work for Havas Health and You. They cut the freelancers hourly rates, again and made it so there’s no OT. The resource manager at HOV said if I couldn’t swing $80 an hour as an HCP copywriter, she’d have to find someone else. Good luck 👍🏻

Why are town Hall meetings so impersonal? They are all about awards / the number of people hired. I know FCB health is large, but we never hear from people who aren’t Executives. Last town hall, when discussing inclusion efforts, there were no people of color represented and one of the 4 pillars of diversity was centered around our “reputation as an organization” (that really rubbed me the wrong way). At my last agency those conversations were always led by people of color from every level.

Can anyone from FTI speak to their benefits? 401k match, healthcare, etc?

I’m having a really hard time with my changing body. 13 weeks, I don’t have too many bad side effects of pregnancy or anything so I consider myself lucky (no nausea ever etc) but I’m depressed at work, my skin is completely broken out and showing new broken face capillaries, and I’m not showing a bump yet so I just feel fat and big. I don’t know where this “glow” is but I look in the mirror and literally am grappling with not recognizing myself :( it’s been impossible to find any clothes too.

One of my junior associates recently resigned and I've been trying to make an exit myself for several months now. The job market has been really competitive but I am getting closer to getting a new job and moving on. The firm culture isn't great and work-life balance is non existent. My physical and mental health have been suffering, so I really don't think I could stay. How did you avoid the guilt trips from Partners/Senior staff trying to get you to stay?

Just got promoted to ACD. Will be taking on more leadership roles. Any books, workshops, resources that helped you learn leadership skills?

I feel like I am very naive and cannot read between the lines, so I can’t tell if someone is trying to fuck me over or not. This leads me to be extremely skeptical of others’ intentions, and makes me less confident that I can influence others, and in general really erodes my self-confidence. Does anyone else feel similarly? If so, how have you dealt with it?

Does anyone know of any consulting/advisory companies hiring?
