I was told not to take off during summer & busy season if I wanted a promotion. My overall utilization was high but took a month off during non busy season. How would you approach this? I wanna quit!

The day someone tells me not to take off in the summer will be the day I put in my two weeks.

Lol taking a whole month off during non busy season. Bold move cotton.

Define “take off”. Taking 2 weeks in a row can put undue stress on an ongoing project. Taking a couple Fridays or Mondays off over the summer never hurt anyone.

Taking off during busy season shows you aren’t committed to your career and could certainly hurt your chances of a promotion. If that’s not something you are comfortable with, then maybe this isn’t the career for you.

Did you tell your team/coach about the family emergency? Was the family emergency just like a week off during non-busy that no one cared about? You should easily be able to take a week off during summer if you aren’t staffed on anything.

I took a week of during my summer busy season because a friend was getting married. If it’s not some vacation you can take any other time, you should be able to take it, you’re giving enough time for them to replace you if it’s only for 1 week. If my whole family plans a trip for a week during busy season, and there’s no way I can change that since so many people are involved, I will definitely take the week off and just communicate it in time to my peers so we can move around the work for that week

So I've been at my job for 5+ years as a data analyst/back office support team. I made my way up into making a little over $40k. I've been WFH the past 2 yrs and overtime more than half my team has now been pulled out to work for a diff department which resulted in me taking 90% of our daily tasks to handle. I'm at a point where the salary I'm getting is disrespectfully low for all the work I do. Should I ask for a raise? And if so, how do I go about asking without sounding greedy.

Thoughts on this Celine Tripmphe bag (maybe in teen size since I’m petite)? I LOVE Celine bags and already own Classic Box (light grey) and Micro Belt bag (amazon green). Would this overlap with my collection, especially the classic box? I feel guilty dropping $3-4k for a bag when my salary’s only 100k. But I want to treat myself for upcoming promotion (hopefully) and for going through hard year in 2020. Was looking at Navy Blue but also considering black, camel or more fun colors (red, pink)
