How’s your Friday going? In the last 3 hours I’ve found out I’ll be on 3 projects next week and probably book 90+ hours. Oh and I was supposed to be on vacation

This is gonna sound harsh, but if you were supposed to be on PTO next week, it sounds like this is a self inflicted problem and you need to learn to say no.

I thought I just read something about PwC offering financial incentives to take vacation time. Was that a PR stunt?

They'll pay it but will they respect your time off? No idea

For all you retail people...are you experiencing a very slow holiday season? I am a retail manager and I feel like this season has been freakishly slow. I thought we would at least match last year's number or be up a little bit but we are trending down. I talked to employees of other stores in the mall and they are saying the same thing. Is anyone else experiencing this in their market?

I need help. I'm dealing with multiple losses in the same week and having a hard time... I took some time off from work but I have no motivation to do anything. I don't want to go back to work and don't care about my work right now. I want to quit but I don't want to make a rash decision but need a long break. It's also not fair to my team that I can't give it my 100%. What can I do?

Hello folks,

I am new to fishbowl and recently got an offer from Publicis Sapient for a senior associate. They are offering $136k with unlimited pto benefits. As I am from the industry and haven't heard about this company before, I would like some comments or thoughts about working for this company? How do they invest in their employees (like pay raise, promotions, etc)?
