Holiday haul + gifts

How long after you start a new job is it appropriate to take a vacation? And for what length of time?

Thoughts on a manager texting you to ask why you aren’t online Easter weekend when all of your work is completed and another senior who can’t handle their own work decided to randomly send you their returns to review?

What’s the most entertaining (in a good or bad way) thing you’ve ever witnessed at a firm outing or holiday party?

Are we allowed to travel from out of province to Vancouver for the holiday break? How rigid are the lockdown restrictions in B.C. right now?

Anyone here from Canada, who went through TN Visa process recently with Google, that can share their experience and timeline of getting the visa? I am planning to take some time off to wrap up relocation related stuff and manage notice period as well so it would be good to get some insight on timelines. Would be great if people here who went through the process can share their experience!

Anyone work for Kraken? If so what are some pros/cons about the company? I work financial crime investigations, and had a recruiter reach out about a law enforcement production job. Opinions on salary, PTO, and other benefits would be helpful!

PwC people, does vacation negatively impact utilization the same way hitting G&A does?

Best place for holiday office parties?

I’ve worked at places that all have different holiday policies. EA has at minimum a nice 10 day shutdown from Christmas Eve through New Years. It’s great to know that there will be no slack messages or an exploded inbox to come back to while away. I’ve been at other studios that only give you Christmas Eve & Day and New Years Eve & Day and then the rest is up to you to request for PTO and this is obviously the suck.

Wonder what it’s like for you?

Want to attract top talent and build high-performing teams? Invest in employees, not recruiters:

1. Yearly cost of living pay increases
2. Flexible work policy (remote & hybrid)
3. Mentoring & leadership training
4. Reimbursement for continuing education
5. Career pathing
6. Employee resource groups
7. Benefits with low deductibles (Medical, Dental, vision, and mental health)
8. 401K with employer matching
9. Min 20 days PTO
10. PTO for community service

When you leave your firm, how does the PTO get paid out? Direct deposit? Check? What's the timeline?

I’m at 7.5 years of experience and got an offer letter saying 3 weeks of vacation. I’m currently at 5 weeks vacation - are companies typically flexible with this?

I’ll be giving my notice around when I have off for a long weekend & when I start my new job I have a vacation planned for a few days. Should I change my plans or keep my personal commitments?

Received verbal offer for position that I’m considering. Assuming I accept, recruiter advised not to give notice until after clearing background check. I have nothing that would come back on that check, any reason to wait for it to clear? I’d rather give notice before so that I’m giving myself more time off in between jobs... Thoughts?

Question about PTO - my contract says 25 days but is this inclusive of any office shutdown over Christmas/New years (if there is one?). In Sydney office if that provides some context. Thanks!

3 Day PTO starts now...my buddy's bachelor party. Forget you, utilization.

Do you work the holidays into your lesson plans this time of year? Or is it too much of a distraction from your routine? Teaching a SPED music class this year and the students have finally *mostly* become comfortable in the room and with the instruments + noise. We usually work on the same songs each week for one month, but I'm thinking of switching it up and doing Christmas/Holiday songs next week as a send off into break. I work with mostly autistic students.

What is your title and how much vacation do you get?

Can I use the floating holiday after 9/30 or is it gone?
