My company laptop is valued at $5

If you're talking about job abandonment and don't respond to HR, about a month. You'll burn any accrued PTO during that time and will likely be sued for the value of your company provided laptop if you don't return it.

Ive heard that its only after 1 yr that they'll start asking why you haven't been able to find a project. As long as your counselor isn't too involved, sure, you can be on the bench over a full year with few issues

Speaking from experience...had a consultant go AWOL last year that was on the team I was managing.

What if you’re on the bench 🤔

Moving on from Hotels (Hospitality)?

I’ve been thinking about this for awhile now, but it is very to commit to actually accept a new job offer since I really do love my job. My only complaint is, the pay vs workload is very small. I’m a manager now and my property offered me a director position… but the salary is still low! To make six figures, it’ll take another 5-6 years to grind it out.

Should I move on and go to a different industry? Opinions are welcome! Thanks in advance.

hey folks, does anyone have advice on how to leave a company that you just joined? I’ve been at my agency for barely two months before getting an amazing offer elsewhere. How do I leave? Should I leave before or after the holidays? My team/boss are SO nice, and I’d hate to burn a bridge.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
