If you accept reduced hours, would that allow you to change your benefits? I am considering changing my health insurance, 401k contribution and hsa to “plug the gap”

Unfortunately for most of consulting, I doubt reduced hours will actually happen
Even in our meetings, it sounds like layoffs will be the large majority, not adjusted hours.

I agree. In Consulting reduced FTE/hrs make little sense. We can’t just send more people to the client to cover for reduced hours - any reasonable client would protest with increased coordination efforts etc. - plus higher travel expenses.

Less hours on the beach still cost money. So companies need to reduce headcount, not FTE, if they want to keep margins up. Either temporarily (leave programs, forlough,...) or permanent (layoffs).

(Or they take a hit to the margins... but that’s probably not the American way ;)

401K and HSA can be adjusted but I don’t believe insurance can be changed.

Had a life changing event. Can add a newborn but didn’t let me switch plan.

If your hours and therefore pay were reduced, you should be eligible to change your benefits. This just happened in my company and we were allowed to make changes

I’m in consulting. Reduced hours. Other than the reduced pay, my 401k and insurance are the same. I accrue PTO at a reduced rate though.

Don’t touch your 401(k). Your future self will scold you. Changing the other stuff is fine.

Hello everyone!

Currently looking to jump from Health Care to Pharma/Biotech. Does anyone work at Gilead and can serve as a reference? The current department I’m in, I do not fit the culture as it is a very archaic way of “managing” people. I have about a decade of a variety of work experience, majority in customer service/coordination/administration.

Would love any assistance if possible!

Hi all,
I’m currently working for a small technical consulting start-up firm. I make good money, have great benefits, and they seem very happy with the work I’m doing, so I know I could move up quickly. However, tech consulting is definitely not my dream job. I want to get into data analytics, and I have an offer from a big company to do just that. I’ve only been at my current company for about 8 months, but I don’t ever see myself loving this job. How do I know when it’s time to make a change?

I used to have a fitbit. Really liked a lot of its features. Like the reminder to move and the competition within the app (games and competitionvs friends). However, whenever I was at work I'd find myself taking it off for more comfortable typing and then forgetting it during the day. Now that I'm back at work I'm sitting more and need to move. I was thinking of getting an oura ring. Does anyone have one? Any thoughts as to which is better?
