No! We need to shift that mindset that these Q s no longer pop up

Yes and im also thinking that the bonus is reflective of past performance so it shouldn't be affected

No, not at all. Just either take a leave of absence or make sure you have a good financial cushion for when you return in case it’s difficult to find a job again.

Otherwise…go for it! I would have loved to do something like that when I was younger.

The only reason this would be seen badly is if they’re overstretched with staffing, but given impeding recession should be less of an issue. So wouldn’t worry about it. If it’s unpaid, it’ll be fine

No. Not long term.

No, not at all. Have fun, and enjoy life. You might have a hard time coming back after taking that 3 months off though, lol!

Will you be taking a leave? Curious about the logistics and timing of how soon after Jan you are planning to do this

Nice. Shouldn't affect long term career but there may be optics to manage short term. More notice is always preferable for any kind of leave and with the holidays sooner is better. I do wonder if it might subliminally impact bonus decisions for you though. Will this be out of left field? I assume youve checked your company would support a leave without medical or family justification?

Hey all! I went through the interviewing process with a company and we had a verbal agreement on X amount of salary per year. They liked me and extended an offer but the offer was for $15K less than what we agreed bc that’s what HR approved for. I was desperate so I took it. Accepting this offer meant that I had to relocate to the other side of the country. Omw that was 2500 miles, I received a call that they rescinded the offer. Is there anything legal that I can do to sue them?
