I have an employee who has been out on Mat leave since beginning of October. She is scheduled to come back beginning of Jan. Today I received an email from our employee asking if she can work the following schedule for the month of Jan: two week 3 days on, two off and then another two 2 days on, 3 off. This is due to COVID and not wanting to put the child in daycare (which I totally get). Not being in a situation like this before, how do I respond?

Anyone ever negotiated parental leave before? I have an offer on the table. Gave me what I asked for $ wise and PTO. But mat leave is not great. Not trying to have a baby now, but in the next 5 yrs.

Curious, what is each firms maternity leave policy? EY does 4 mos paid now which is huge! Is that becoming the norm?

Are there any good agencies with OK work-life balance? I recently had a child and don’t want to go back to nights and weekends.

Things I miss most pre COVID - concerts and festivals 😑

I forgot to call my mom to tell her happy Mother’s Day. Not sure how to make it up to her aside from give her a call first thing tomorrow and take her to dinner this week. Any other suggestions from moms out there?

When you guys start the baby on solids, do you choose a time that’s easier for you as a family or just stick to a schedule for the baby? Baby is almost 7 months and has been on one solid meal in the afternoons the last month. I’m planning on introducing a “dinner” meal when he hits the 7 months, but all schedules say 5.45 pm which is too early for us for dinner. He sleeps at around 7.45 so wondering what the time would look like?

Its been 10 months since I got married, my wife is pregnant and now at her house, we are not able to communicate, we don't have a topic to talk. Need suggestion.
Thanks

Ladies, in need of some insight from you supermoms. Prepping for our first - I am not US citizen so we are weighing up staying (NYC) or returning to home country. My home country has govt supported mat leave on top of employer sponsored- so it’s normal to take off at least a year between the 2 parents. Looks like here I’d be entitled to 14 weeks and my partner about 6... is it normal to send your baby to care at about 5 months? What did you do?

My wife is pregnant in her last few months and I feel is facing harassment at work.

One of the managers/directors is constantly talking her about her pregnancy and trying to convince her that she cannot work for 40 hours. If she works and overdelivers on her client project, he constantly forces her to write emails, she is not feeling comfortable sending. He micromanages and keeps challenging her on time she is charging. I think he has utilization pressure for his team and trying to ... (1/n)

Hey,
Has anyone purchased of the HRCIs untimed or timed exams for the PHR or SPHR? Did you find the practice exam helpful and the questions similar to what you saw on the test?

I had a company offer me a position under the original range and after I’ve turned down the role multiple times they have come back with an offer with a better title and $30k more. This huge shift put a bad taste in my mouth, but wasn’t sure if I was begin too critical because I wouldn’t operate that way as a recruiter.

Offer accepted! Before I start, I will virtually meet my direct reports I didn't meet during interviews. My new managers will also be there. I've managed people before, ~2 years ago, so I'll be rusty, but I love helping others achieve their goals. Previous roles were promotions & I hired my repots. What would be good topics/questions for this initial meeting with everyone? There's no agenda set, but I'd like to be intentional. I'm sure my mgrs will lead, but I want to be thoughtful. Thanks.

I am looking to make a career change to HR. I currently make 75K as a sales and development coach. I had a recent offer for a state government position in a talent acquisition role but I’d be taking a $25K pay cut. I am extremely over qualified for the position but it could possibly be a stepping stone and gives me the time to acquire SHRM certifications and possibly start taking classes to get my MBA. My question is those currently in an HR role, would this move make sense to you?

What is the SHRM and is it even worth it to get?

Hello, what benefits do you think are most beneficial to employees excluding pay, health and education.

how are you all feeling about an org that is saying absolutely nothing about everything going on in the world. nothing about mental health awareness month, nothing about rowe v wade, nothing about inflation, etc but we are in the HR/Recruiting consulting realm and our clients are even asking us for guidance on these conversations . (yes, myself and others have also asked) I have been looking and interviewing elsewhere but looking on how you are all navigating having healthy conversations!

Hi everyone,
So I’ve always had a rough time trying to find what role titles I would be a good fit to apply to given that my career growth has been so peculiar (HR assistant at hotel, Operations Manager at hotel, seller support at Amazon, customer experience coordinator at an IT company, talent acquisition specialist at a health org)
In those roles I normally took more in my plate than the typical role requires (hr functions, data analysis, etc)
With 6-7 years if exp what role should I look?

Story Time: We had a team member quit this morning without notice. When the management team asked why he was being so unprofessional and not giving two weeks' notice. The team member’s response was, “would you give me two weeks' notice before firing me”? No one knew how to respond to this.
