How are teams handling PTO during this WFH life? Mine is supportive and encourages us to use it where needed. But I could see some teams rolling eyes when “there’s nothing else going on.” 2nd POV is 👎

Amicably resigning from my current position as intake coordinator at a private practice and the owner of the practice (also my boss) refuses to pay me my remaining PTO. What should I do? (In Illinois)

Keep grinding? Or eff it?
Will hit 7-figure income for the first time in my life this year. Have about $2M in savings. Almost 40. Worked a lower income job before B-school, then paid down loans and saved aggressively to build up a couple in million in 6-7 years since.
Could MAYBE live off the $2M. But man, I’m tired of working. But now that my income is high, it seems CRAZY to not keep grinding and saving. But could I take a year to reboot? That feels stupid though.
Any advice?!?

Interested in the perspectives of folks in this bowl. Thanks guys

One of my big hang-ups with biden tax plan is raising corporate tax across the board. Why raise taxes on businesses when we've just found out how fragile it is to be able to run a small business?Why not at least propose some kind of progressive corporate tax structure if you want to raise taxes on corps?

I want to read Esperanza Rising to 5th grade mayb 4th. I might use the theme Equality not sure, but do you have resources, lessons, idea, etc? We do not service a large population of immigrants, but thought our kids could use a lesson about another perspective.

Have the other bowls kind of died? I really like this general chat group and I hope it stays but my other groups seem to have just stopped chatting.

Is anyone taking this current situation as an extra push to move out of NYC and live elsewhere? I was just reading an article about how many young families and singles are now moving to other states, not just to the suburbs of the city. Curious how true that may be.

I have a senior who feels the need to break down every little thing they’re working on, repeating over and over the actions they are going to take after I ask them to do something. I get that he’s likely being overly prepared and wants to make sure I recognize he understands the asks, but I feel like it’s excessive. I’m not a micromanager and don’t need this level of detail. I want to make my senior feel supported, but is there anything I can suggest in this case without sounding like an ass?

How will we know when it’s safe to switch jobs post pandemic?

Perspective check:

I'm an SA, and my fiance is finishing up her residency and loves the medical field. I make good money and have a house but I feel like the relationship and the obligations (house, family) are anchors and holding me back from living my life. I want to sell and live on the road, traveling and being free.

I love my fiance and my family but I just want to quit everything and just hit the road.

Am I being dumb?
