I had my car looked at today & unfortunately my transmission is still leaking from last week. The mechanic referred me to a transmission specialist & he said he would recommend for me to get my transmission fluid topped off every 2 weeks as a bandaid until I can get my transmission taken care of. I was supposed to go to an event for work today & was unable to. Also, I have an in person meeting on Mon that I wont be able to attend b/c I have to drop my car off. What would u tell your manager?

The truth? You’re running into car issues which is impacting you getting to work and other obligations. Be transparent. These things happen and a good manager will understand.

@CVS Health-i dont have anyone who can follow me. I am just going to have my Director give me a ride to the work meeting, then give me a ride to the car shop after the meeting even though its a 20 min drive. Uber is too expensive. My car is already showing signs of transmission issues--which can be super expensive to repair.

I’d Uber into work because you really don’t want to use absences for a car issue. What will happen when you’re actually sick?

I get that it’s a work thing, but they shouldn’t have to reimburse you. The car problem is yours. And transmission problems are heinously $ draining so you may want to look at other options as much as you dislike it.

Hey Fishes, I feel the RTO policy in not getting enforced rather it is getting imposed it seems (in ZS across offices). Suddenly from being employee centric they have shifted their focus to ZS culture and values. Let the thoughts pour in!

Hi All,
I'm joining EY India Technology Consulting in a week. However, EY is also my client, primarily we're involved in the maintenance of their internal user interface.

I can see a non solicitation clause in my current employer's offer letter than I can't join client within 12 months of my termination.

Are this non solicitation clauses followed in reality? Everyone's has been asking me to chill, since I'm joining as scon, not a manager or with any trade secrets. Opinions pls.

How are you all structuring your decks for client presentations?
Basically, since ad school I've stuck with the tried and true format of Insight (1 line on a slide), Idea (1-2 slides w/ a line+key visual), How It Works (executions, etc), and that seems to be the format that a lot of agencies use.
Obviously, this will always vary by agency and project, I'm just curious about the broader structuring rather than getting into the nitty-gritty details.
