Hot take: unlimited PTO doesn’t mean much if you’re afraid to actually use it. 😬 I worked somewhere that offered flexibility but punished anyone who took it. How do you tell the difference between a perk that’s real and one that’s just good branding?

Have people been using PTO during the pandemic? Kind of feel like I need a break, but don’t want to use PTO to just sit around the house.

Anyone have a corporate rate code for holiday inn?

Rant: Currently on vacation in Thailand with my SO, and can say it’s been nothing but stressful, (and excuse my language) complete bullsh*t...

Hello Toronto Tech folks. A major tech company just ended my contract as Senior Project Manager for a major bank’s wealth management department because of not enough work due to holiday season. The market is on freeze. If you know of anyone who’s hiring a Senior Software Project Manager then please share referrals. I have seen some roles at BMO

Help! I honestly don’t know how to get my annual expenses down from 100k

Sourcing creative cost savers!

I’ve been a family caregiver for four years, and now look to return to the workforce. I realize that this will be a bit difficult, especially during these economic conditions, plus other factors, such as being an older employee, etc. I updated my account with a few job sites, adding on the fact that I took time off to care for a family member. I would appreciate some advice, anything that would be helpful.

Hi, we are currently updating our Apprenticeship Policy and I wanted to understand what other organisations offer in regards to:
1. Rewards for exam passes
2. Holiday allowance during study

Any detail would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

What’s been your most impressive/successful salary negotiation when you’ve received an offer? Did you manage to get way more PTO or other perks?

The firm I work for is not closing for the hurricane. Staff were told to work from home or take PTO if they could not come in to the office (and the building is now closed until Friday). Is this normal?!

I received a verbal offer for a VP position at CCB line of business at JPMC in NYC two weeks ago. The recruiter asked for salary expectations but there was no number set. It’s been two weeks since and complete radio silence. I sent an email to a hiring manager a week ago but received no reply. It’s August so people could be on vacation but this is really strange. Has anyone had similar experience?

Ate so poorly on vacation im scared to weigh myself 😣

I'm 6 months old at D! Planning early promotion next year.. counselor and pm both are backing me.. I need to go to India for at least 4 weeks in Dec ... most probably would be rolling off from current project by then .. would this vacation hurt my promotion chances coz of utilization etc?

How is RSM PTO? Understand it’s unlimited, which limits more than accrued, but any insight on what you like/dislike?

Let's start a thread to highlight which industries and/or companies are doing right by their employees this holiday season. Share your job title and what kind of year-end bonus you are getting. (Feel free to share your company's name if you are comfortable doing that)

Do you fly out to family for the holidays or do they come to you? We're hosting Christmas for the first time and having the entire family come to town for it. What are some can't miss holiday events in the city? Ideally accessible because my father is in a wheelchair.

A parent of one of my students told admin she thinks it's irresponsible that I won't be grading over Christmas break. I let the students know to get any work they need graded in before the break and I'll get it to it during our workdays in January. Apparently that's not fast enough for her 🙄. Is it wrong that I'm sort of pissed off by this? Should I say something?

Considering a move to NTT Data in a healthcare consulting role. Mixed reviews in the bowls. Major concerns are bench policy, staff aug roles, 2 week PTO, and high turnover due to job dissatisfaction. Recruiter and mgr had great things to say around growth and opportunity, which doesn’t align with feedback from the bowls or Glassdoor.
Understanding things have changed there in the last few months, I need un-biased advice from fellow fish who have recently joined or can speak to recent changes

Anyone taking time off to spend time with family this week? I have the rest of the week off, and I'm heading to my mother's house tomorrow to help get things started. What's your favorite Black holiday tradition? Our family takes a shot together before we have Thanksgiving dinner 🤣.

Just had to go to thesaurus dot com to look up synonyms for “exciting”. I think I need a vacation….
