How’s everyone’s holiday time looking? I told the director I would be out of pocket over the holidays and he just laughed it off. If I refuse to work during my scheduled vacation time what can they do?

For context - this is a deal I’m not yet staffed on.

Been crushed for the past 6 months, just like everyone else, so specifically put in time before and after break for time to unwind. Of course no one is putting an away reply message on outlook but don’t want to be in excel for hours on end when I’m supposed to be on my scheduled PTO (not just holiday time).

If you want to move up in a transactional group and you’re anything beyond a first year associate - you can’t disappear over the holidays unfortunately. That’s the reality.

Everyone needs time off, but unfortunately can’t all be at the same time. If there is something specific to this year, communicate that.

Agreed. I was slammed over thanksgiving, and all the partners knew that. Was praying for a quiet December holiday. Unfortunately that’s not going to happen. But fact of the matter, it’s what we signed up for so just have to learn to live with it.

I have a possible opportunity at Protiviti. Coming from big4 and wondering if Protiviti has fairly similar perks. I’ve read the 2022 benefits guide and it gave a oddly low PTO count of 16 days.

Already heard WLB is better and the culture, but I feel like I’ve gotta find that out first hand. Protiviti
