I wish workplaces would mandate one day a week where meetings are banned, and calls and emails can only be made for urgent reasons. So everybody gets a day where they can actually take a breather and catch up on their outstanding work. I feel like Fridays or Mondays should be a no go for meeting, what do your meeting heavy days look like? Do you implement certain meetings for each day?

Hadn’t noticed this sub before, and most of the threads are old so thought I’d ask a follow up - how has everyone been handling parenting with public accounting? I’ve got a toddler and my wife is an accountant (industry), and we only have a few immediate family in the country- but they have health concerns. Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.

Books on human psychology that have affected you. I'll start: influence, sales Bible, on killing.

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
