How do I get a day off when I already know my PTO won’t be approved?

I received an offer I can’t turn down. My company had a few others leave recently, and my close counterpart is on vacation until October, so the GC and rest of the company will likely be in disarray after I leave.

Any advice on how to put in my 2 weeks? I’d prefer to leave on a good note and not a sour one…

I’m hearing about so many company holiday parties. We’ve never had one and it makes me so bummed out! Is it just my group/dept? Do any of you oracle peeps have a holiday party??

hi doston, in my project my lead has fixed sun-mon as off for me. Aur ab diwali hi hai monday ko toh bol raha hai ki you wont get additional holiday as you are not working on diwali. Can anyone help me i think i am being tricked into wasting one day off. Please give your guidance mitron.

My final paycheck last year got cut on 12/31, including about a $2500 401(k) contribution. That deposit did not hit my 401(k) account until Jan. 3, 2022 because of the holiday. Does that get counted against my 2021 or 2022 contribution limit?

Is it normal to feel numb around the holidays? I'm tired, dealing with seasonal affective disorder and a really tough caseload right now. Not in the holiday spirit at all and honestly don't even want to be, I just want to spend the weekend resting. Is it bad that I don't care about it at all this year?

How do your firms do payroll? This is like the 5th time in 26 months that paychecks weren’t timely deposited. Allegedly, the boss did everything right and this is something in the payroll company. But his stuff is getting crazy and everyone is out on PTO, I’m kinda like: meet minimum ethical obligations and no more. Once or twice, I understand. But this is becoming regular.

Found myself in a conversation with the branch manager (white male pushing thru his late 60's) about holiday decorations. I just told him how I've been directed by corporate to keep the winter holiday decorations as non denominational and he nearly exploded. Starts saying how Christmas is the "American Way" and "nobody is going to take MY Christmas" and "this is MY BRANCH, I will decorate for CHRISTMAS" and so much more. I'm just flabbergasted, frustrated but not surprised.

Tax friends, putting in my notice post 10/15. Is it frowned upon to take a PTO day during that two week notice?

I have an offer for a newly created collections strategy project manager at a mid sized credit union for $95k, 7-9% bonus, and 3 weeks PTO.

I did ask to go up to $100k, but was told my offer was already above the target range.

I like the company and my colleagues to be.

Good offer?

How much should I charge a friend to watch 4 dogs at their home over Christmas weekend (2 nights)? The dogs don't have any special needs or medications. I've dog sat for other people in the past but always for free. I also have had dogs of my own for most of my life. I want to start charging people for my services but also want to be reasonable since this is a friend and don't plan to charge a holiday fee. We live in St. Louis. Would $40 per day/night be reasonable?

Hi Fishes,

Recently I was asked an interesting question in a system design round for a company. Please take a look and help me understand how do you solve the problem?

Question - Design an sms service to send messages to 1 million customers

Requirement - upload a csv of 1 million contacts and on clicking send send the sms.

Limitation - 1000 contacts/minute

How would you design this system, considering we have a hard limit of 1000 contacts/limit?

Instructional Design… not remote… $57?
