How do you overcome the office culture fear and actually use your PTO without feeling guilty or risking your reputation? That line item for generous PTO on my benefits sheet feels like a cruel joke at this point. Our office culture dictates that the hours I put in matter more than the quality of my work or my personal well-being, which makes the act of resting feel like professional sabotage. I can't shake the feeling that my career progression is on the line every time I try to schedule a week off.

Trying to decide on the HDHP Health Insurance. Basic vs. Premium. Benefits says the two are equivalent in coverage except three differences - deductible $3K premium vs $3.5k basic, no monthly payment for basic and no $2K company contribution for basic HDHP. What am I missing here. Why would t one not go for basic as you are ahead by about $1K. Any explanations or thoughts?

I tried asking this in my own bowl with no responses, so seeing if other consultants have run into this situation. I’m on parental leave, I got an offer for another firm, great opportunity and pay. How does one go about a resignation mid-leave when you would start the new job before the leave ends? Two weeks notice or just say I am not returning effective the day of the new job? Any things to consider besides potentially repaying the employer healthcare premium?

I manage a junior developer that's been with the company for about 18 months. I end up providing them of TON of support. I need to give them extremely detailed instructions or they fail.
