I noticed corporate employees at my job always take PTO during Spring Break . Do you use PTO during Spring Break or do you spread it out over the year and tag on to other holidays? I use it throughout the whole year because Spring Break is chill in the office since everyone seems to take off .

I have to take off because my kids are all out of school. Before I had kids I did not take many vacation days in the Spring.

I take of time then for my kids but I also just take a bunch of time whenever I can get away with it

I take it off for my kids as well. I always find myself looking forward to a break from work this time of year anyway.

Burnout is because you did something consistently for an extended period. You can do quick fixes like go on vacation, get some sleep, exercise more. But they may only help temporarily, depending on your level of Burnout.

Try adjusting your approach to work / life to a more sustainable, and ideally, enjoyable balance.

I just started a new job 2 months ago, benefits and PTO don’t start until 90 days in so I still have a month before I can take off any time, and today found out my company doesn’t offer paid maternity leave.
I’m really struggling handling the symptoms and maintaining my full time job. Thinking about looking for a part time job to have more time to myself through the pregnancy since I won’t be getting a paid leave anyways, but lost on where to start looking. Any recommendations?

So, how many days left before you start the holiday seasons? What are your biggest priorities for the new year?

Hey friends! I hope everybody has had a productive week and had an awesome weekend for those who enjoyed their holiday! This question is specifically for Amazon Web Services in sales.

So I am currently a potential candidate as an AAE. I was told that I would in the future have to prepare a mock deck and deal with objections.

Has anybody had to prepare them and what was the scenario?

Thanks everyone!
