Same!!!

We do $150 for 2 main teachers each and a bottle of wine, and $50 for 3 assistant teachers and 1 director. We have been with this daycare since my son was 10 months old old and he will turn 5 in Jan so we have been through a journey together. They have done so much for us and are the reason I can still continue working so I appreciate them.

I used to give $100 to the main teachers and $50 to the subs and then last year we did a group gift and most people gave the recommended $10 each.. imo that was way too low. I’ll be doing separate this year.

This is what we do - 100 each for the main teachers (they have 2 in his class) and 50 to the sub

I’ve heard two weeks pay before, but this will be my first year doing it. Curious on others thoughts.

It’s what everyone else is saying. Roughly $100 for main teacher (in many cases it’s the daycare owner) and something between $20-50 for others supporting them.

Our school does a pool that is distributed to the teachers and the suggested contribution is $150 per child which seems right to me

Is it normal to tip teachers for the holidays...?

Daycare, yes. School aged, no

How did you tell your manager you’re pregnant? Did it affect pay/promos? And then, subsequently, how did you start letting colleagues know you’re pregnant? Feels awkward to just randomly drop the news in a meeting! I work remotely so it’s hard to tell by video :) I’m 21 weeks and feel like I’ve waited as long as I can to at least notify my manager. I was waiting to negotiate my salary for next year but per company trend that doesn’t get set until January (manager reviews are written in Dec).

I just started a new job 2 months ago, benefits and PTO don’t start until 90 days in so I still have a month before I can take off any time, and today found out my company doesn’t offer paid maternity leave.
I’m really struggling handling the symptoms and maintaining my full time job. Thinking about looking for a part time job to have more time to myself through the pregnancy since I won’t be getting a paid leave anyways, but lost on where to start looking. Any recommendations?

So far the only reason I’ve been told no is that “if you do then everyone will want to and then no one will be in the office” … how can I convince them that I work better out of the office and get this freedom & mental break for myself?

Considering leaving my agency after just a couple months in pharma - feeling underutilized and stuck.

My question: do I leave this stint off my resume entirely? List the parent agency instead of the wellness arm? Pass it off as freelance? Not trying to be dishonest I just know this experience probably isn’t relevant when going out for non-pharma jobs.

Anyone a manager? I’m recently diagnosed (26F) and I can’t help but beat myself up everytime I fall short of my to do list. Makes me feel like a huge disservice to my team. I’ve been trying vitamin D and working out, but it makes my “highs” and “low” SO extreme. The simplest things are so complex in my mind.

If anyone feels similar, how do you manage these feelings? I’m personally considering switching to an individual contributor role, but can’t help but feel like a disappointment if I do.
