@OP, Do the pros outweigh the cons if you were to stay or quit? If so, make that decision. Not every case is alike. We don’t know if you need the money, or can just use the job as a paid sabbatical until your next gig (meaning give just enough of yourself each day to get by). Otherwise, if the environment is so toxic that it will ruin your mood for the end of the year then I would quit.

The 401(k) match vests at the end of the calendar year, usually. Plus the new hiring budgets kick in after Jan 1.

Plus, @CD1 not all places give a full week off. We just get two Tuesdays off (25th and 1st). Other places have a 24/7 mentality and I would not be surprised if at least one creative here had to work on Christmas Day.

Very few companies hire around Christmas, unless it’s retail. I would wait until the new year. In fact,
I am waiting for the new year, once I get back from break.

Dear Ladies,
I have never been on birth control pills or devices. I am looking to get on a birth control regimen and my new bf does not like to wear condoms. I know I have several options when it comes to BC but looking for recommendations of what has worked best for you. I don’t like to mess w my hormones and at the same time don’t like the idea of getting stuff inserted within me. If those are the only 2 choices, I ll go w pills. I suffer from Rosacea and have a lot of facial/body hair.

I was a month in as Workday HCM Consultant with Accenture. They immediately throw me into the HCM courses to obtain my WD HCM certification.

I scored a 62 on the Essentials portion, I passed Applied, and at the end of this week Practical. During class, I received an “immediate connect” Team call and I was fired because of my low score. I'm devastated, and shocked. Yesterday was my birthday.
