If you have unlimited PTO, how unlimited is it?

Loving my care-free holiday season. Resigned from my old firm last week and set my start date for next firm in mid January. This might have to be the move every year lol

Didn’t think to ask who was in Ptown for the 4th. Hope everyone had a great holiday!

Expats from the US or elsewhere outside Australia/NZ, how do you navigate the holiday season? Do you fly home, or fly people out to you? If you stay in Australia how do the seasonal holiday celebrations differ from back home? Trying to decide what to do, first year living in Sydney.

Where can I find the holiday calendar in CGI?

My agency is implementing a new PTO process that includes getting your PTO request “signed off on” by HR. Is that normal?! (We currently have unlimited PTO)

Hi! Anyone know how many vacation days Managers at Sia get?

👀 Still looking for an apartment swap in NYC. I have a clean apartment in Mexico City. The dates are October 27th to November 3rd, Day of the Dead holiday weekend. With LOTS happening. Located in the best area of Mexico City with a ton of restaurants, cafes, and parks. High speed internet with standing desk, large TV, external monitor, and more. Message me your email or phone number and we can text to exchange pictures and more information.

I recently accepted a new job offer a few weeks ago and start soon. It's not a well known company. It's a debt collector and is remote. I can work anywhere in the country. I recently got a job offer from JPMorgan as well and it is also remote, but I have to go wherever a hub and can visit family with vacation. Both companies pay almost the same - JPMorgan pays slightly more. I'm torn between the 2. The other company has a better title Senior InfoSec Analyst. JP's is Cyber Engineer. Any advice?

I'll start - How much do benefits factor into your job search and deciding on an offer? For me, the vacation is critical, and it reflects the extent of the agency's culture of trust.

I'm currently working as an HR Director for a New Jersey non-profit of about 165 employees. I have been with the company 7 years and have a total of 10 years in the HR world. I have my Master's in HRM, my SHRM-CP, and am currently making $87k yearly. I have 7 weeks PTO, flex scheduling, and the ability to work remotely at my own discretion.

My father in law thinks I'm worth at least $40k-$50k more than I'm being paid currently. I don't know if he's right. What do you think?

How much advance notice should you give to ask for 10 consecutive days of PTO?

Do you work a lot of overtime during flu season/the holiday season? My manager says with travelers and people needing shots + antibiotics we'll get swamped for like the next 3 months. Do I just work somewhere understaffed or is there a "busy season?"

How much time off do you get for the holidays? I have 1 week off. Social workers or therapists at hospitals or treatment centers especially.

My school has seen combinations of f2f, hybrid, and remote teaching/learning throughout the first half of the school year. After the MLK holiday, our district is returning to traditional f2f teaching 100%. I have 4 band classes (1 beginning, 2 intermediate, & 1 advanced), and as far as content pacing is concerned, we’re 1 9-week grading period behind. Is it a far fetched goal to get my students where they need to be by the end of the school year? How would you handle a situation like this?

I’m going through a lot being pregnant for the first time but she hardly randomly asks how I’m doing. Doesn’t even check on how preps for baby are going. PS my dad is late so she’s my best only parent.

Anyone have recommendations for an organized and trustworthy contractor in Los Angeles? I‘ve worked with an architect to design an ADU and a 500 sq ft addition to our house on the Westside, but all the contractors he recommended are either extremely difficult to work with or want to charge a premium for things like “design services” and “administration fees.” I understand construction materials are expensive now - but isn’t there anyone out there who can work with us as a “trusted advisor”??

Hi! I just went back to Europe to mail in my approved O1 application to get a visa stamp in my passport. The interview was waived because of Covid).

Thoughts on the outcast agency?

How do you navigate a working relationship where someone in a different department but at the same director level as you consistently assumes seniority over you? The thing is they're great and can be an ally, but they're frequently shutting down the team's work and having a negative impact on the team's morale and output.

Forks are literally just bad spoons. There is no conceivable world where I’d pick forks over spoons. Spoons can do everything forks can and forks can do nothing spoons can. Even the hybrid spork shows this clear advantage where forks are made to be more like spoons. Like … ok there’s spaghetti big deal I’ll just scoop it up with my spoon. Steak? Oh no I have to scoop up the steak with my spoon. Try eating soup with a fork. Exactly.

In case no one told you recently, THANK YOU…for your hard work…late nights…constructive feedback…extra effort…. How often do you hear thank you at work?
