I got a new iPhone on Friday and since it was already late IT hasn’t yet been able to get their hands on it and install firm software, which means I’ve gone almost 48 hours without checking my email. And surprisingly I didn’t die and the firm didn’t send security after me. Beginning to rethink if I really should be checking my email every hour on weekends

I had something similar happen and it made me realize I didn’t need notifications popping up on my phone 24/7. I set designated times to check my emails in the evenings and on weekends and, shockingly, the sky didn’t fall!

Hope you can keep the habit after this!

That sounds like a very nice weekend. A cautionary tale: Every few months we have to reset our passwords and unless you actually open the email app, it doesn’t tell you that your login failed. I thought I had a wonderful weekend and barely noticed I didn’t get any work emails... until I logged in on Monday morning to 50 emails and people wondering where I’d been all weekend.

I got an offer from Infosys and the joining date was 12th December, I drop my resignation to my current employer based on the offer date and my LWD is 2nd December.

Now I am little anxious if it is due to the recession that has hit Indian market or if they again delay the joining. Please suggest do I need to withdraw my resignation or stick to Infosys offer.Infosys

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some post-interview advice. I had an interview last week that went really well. I emailed a thank you to the partners who were in my interview along with writing samples per their request, to which the managing partner responded, “let’s touch base Monday.” I didn’t hear back yesterday and am wondering whether it’s appropriate for me to follow up and if so, how do I word it? Or do I continue to wait? I want to show interest but not come off too aggressive. Many TIA!

What are your success stories about succession planning? I was hired as a lateral to work on/help sustain a retiring partner's book of business.

I don't want him to feel pushed out, and have a lot to learn from him, but I do want to help/plan handoff of work. Interested in guidance for how to have these conversations!
