Google Can anyone @google give me a referral for the APMM position in Singapore? Because there I would have a higher chance of getting selected with a referral I wanted to ask if anyone could help me out with that.
I know this is a lot coming from a stranger, I can show you my career portfolio deck and the resume if you only feel that I am a good fit you can refer me. If you think I am not fit, no hard feelings just feedback would do.
For July 4th does google only give one day off?

Wow, what are some people's problems? I'll never get it. I'm sorry if this is bad advice but I would respond. And not in a very nice manner. Some people need to be put in their places.
You can come here and look for support and most people will say the right thing and make you feel better too. And you are correct- work life is more important and you do you.
But - remember while you go home to family 3 days a week, all other peers are working their a$$ off. They probably also have families but have decided to find a way to not impact their work schedules. Again they do what’s best for them. Also it’s natural for them to feel unfair if one person goes home early 3 days of the week. Also it’s natural and fair to assume that if there are layoffs, the one who prioritizes life over work will be the first to go (given equal work performance for all)
So what you heard was what most think about you and it’s not totally wrong. You chose to prioritize life and that’s great but you have to also deal with it. End of the day - you do you!
Sorry but do not agree with D1, whether there are adjustments to working hours is not directly correlational to “working a$$ off”. Firms do look at value, and quite possibly OP’s work, both in office and whenever he logs on afterwards that’s just ‘unseen’ adds more value than people sitting there in office being visible. This mentality has to stop, one comment at a time.
OP pls don’t think this is how all people think in consulting. Many firms (MBB here) value and celebrate it. And you don’t need to explain, but this affects all parents, even if in a dual partner household it’s still hard! And kids need their parents, work is work and you take action against those threatening it… reporting the person at work and maybe know that D1’s views aren’t representative of all consultants and all firms, even if it’s the reality at some offices and firms.
Some people unfortunately do not have the understanding or display respect for those who have families or personal obligations. If the work is getting done it is should not be an issue or a concern. If they choose not to leave work for family or other obligations it’s on them.
I follow a ‘family & health first” rule for myself and those I work with (up or down). Also, when people go on vacation they should be disconnected from work. People from work contacting those on vacation are rude and disrespectful.
The children may not realize it now but when they are older they will remember that their parents were there for them and are a part of their lives.
Completely agree with you
for people who grew up with school buses, it seems superfluous to go pick up kids yourself. Only recently did I learn that some school districts don’t have buses
i mean that’s pretty close lol they should walk. unless if the bus has plenty of space
They talk behind your back cause’ they are behind you.
Let them be there. Keep moving forward. Unbothered. Unfazed.
There is a difference between jobs whose value is measured based on time / efforts (eg you need to clock in and out) and jobs whose value is measured based on outcomes. Most corporate middle managers and execs are the latter.
Op, if your job falls under the latter bucket then whoever made the comment is totally in the wrong and does not understand how it work, plus as long as you are pulling your weight (maybe extra time in the evening to make up for early 4:30pm departures) you are fine.
Op if your job is more under the former category then i would say the comment is more justified
No joke, pls report them to HR. You need this documented. This is everything that’s wrong to affect psych safety at work and you don’t need little green eyed nobodies pot stirring and having it lead anywhere. Pls do it if not for you alone, because you know they are not stopping and you only heard the one time over how many other times they likely said it, then for other parents who are not as strong to voice out. Really sorry you are experiencing this, this is a big deal and ignoring and taking the high road just won’t get rid of these pests.
