I'll admit I am gutted to lose my Chief status after so long. I was one of the original KPMG chiefs and through a long vacation and a broken phone I've lost my cred.

Hold your loved ones close and remember to treasure what you have. Nothing lasts forever. 😥

When your manager decides to take PTO right before the holidays / project deadlines and leaves you to do their work (which they didn’t do) as well as your own.

Here's a question I wish I never had to ask. Is it better to use the code for bereavement leave or just burn pto I'm going to lose anyway? Does it make a difference from a utilization standpoint?

Anyone have a corporate rate code for holiday inn?

Can I use the floating holiday after 9/30 or is it gone?

Renegotiating my contract and curious about maternity leave policies at other practices/hospitals. Do you get paid leave? If so how much time off & are you getting full pay? We are a group of about 75 employees, 6 docs with 5 PA’s and only unpaid 12 weeks off.

Where are your favorite vacation spots? Getting used to this not drinking thing..

Hi, we are currently updating our Apprenticeship Policy and I wanted to understand what other organisations offer in regards to:
1. Rewards for exam passes
2. Holiday allowance during study

Any detail would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hey CGI folks, from where can I see current year holiday list for 2021 in India?

Do you guys give your boss's New Years' gifts? I'm thinking of doing one since I didn't give a holiday gift but thought it maybe weird

Where is everyone trying to go on holiday this year? 🏝🏔🚞✈️

Wishing you all a happy holiday (if you have one). 1st year litigation associate here. Just wanted some ideas. How would your firm organize a virtual xmas/new year party?

Is there a policy preventing me from putting in my two weeks notice December 20th (Jan 3rd last day)? That would look like a week and a day of firm paid holiday and then 3days of PTO the second week.

Anyone frustrated by needing to take vacation days off for Jewish holidays?

I heard most of us are off for some holiday next week, so enjoy the day off to prepare for the holiday!

does booking sick date or vacation impact utilization?

I want to take this moment to wish everyone a happy new year. Still on holiday vacation.

My firm’s holiday party is on a weekday after work. I can just wear what I’d normally wear to work for that day, right?

Hi everyone,
I want to learn Salesforce Tableau CRM (formerly known as Einstein Analytics) and switch to a different organisation. In my current company stuck in a project where there's no learning scope, no growth and work culture is toxic. Now I'm only going through Trailhead, YouTube playlist videos and practicing hands on in my free personal org. Are these enough to crack interviews or not? I don't have real-time project experience.

Any Good Tips/ Suggestions for Honeymooning on Points?

Anyone know what L3 means at J&J?

Figma: frames or groups?

Just wondering if any Junior designers feel the same but I work as the only graphic designer in a small digital marketing agency and lately there isn't any new projects and work coming in at least in my "department". No one is really touching base on anything but I'm still getting paid a salary ($42k/y). I worry that they may just cut me off any time soon since I feel I haven't been contributing as much as I want despite reaching out for any new requests. Thought?

The learning and design content I write belongs to the company where I work. Am I able to add and/or share my work in my portfolio? Is it acceptable to create some generic content to demonstrate my skill set?

I currently work at a medium sized firm and have about two years experience in personal injury litigation. The billable hours and lack of work life balance are really getting to me and I am looking to switch to something else out of litigation, preferably in house. I am also looking to relocate to a different state. How do I go about properly marketing myself to companies that might not take my relocation and minimal experience seriously?

Has anyone ever dealt with Geico UM case where they insist that a release needs to be signed? Geico extended our client’s policy limits but wants him to sign a release. We offered to sign an acknowledgment of receipt of funds but Geico said without a release signed, they will not issue payment.

Hi! Recently discussed an associate graphic designer role with a recruiter. Is it reasonable to expect an 85k base in NYC? Am I underselling myself? They started with it being a 75-80k budgeted position. What are typical base salaries for someone with 4.5 ttl YOE? Does it matter that 3 YOE was in an adjacent industry?

Hello Fishes,

Require an immediate help in deciding whether should I join KGS as I am only having 1.6 years of experience. Currently I am working in EY GDS under a tech risk team. The hike that I am getting is of 53% of current fixed Compensation.

I do not prospect. I open accounts while slamming a revolving door.

Hey all- does anyone have a good resource to learn about big data technologies with some practical examples? I have tons of SQL, python, and application development experience but no Hadoop, Spark or Kafka and really wanted to learn them

NYC area Personal Injury Lawyers:

What are some of the most well respected plaintiff’s personal injury firms in NYC, and why?

First PI case. Just got defendant’s discovery back. I asked for all policies to see any potential coverage and was just sent back the 2-page dec page. Is that normal? What is my response/objection to this?

Hi folks,

Looking for fully furnished 1/2 BHK flat for rent in between SB road and yerwada area (any area between this would be okay). Would appreciate if any leads are provided.
Thanks.

I'm plopped on the floor buzzed, single AF, surrounded by cats, and I have no regrets tonight.

Today's weather is a clear sign that Catholic God is stronger than Eastern Orthodox God

I’m 💁‍♀️🐠. Was in a long-term relationship that ended last year and since then I’ve been on an extended celibacy run to work on myself etc. I’m looking to get back into the dating scene. Part of me wants to just get some 🍆 action (to quench the thirst) then start to look seriously. Any advice on dating?

One of my closest friends have become so incredibly negative and self obsessed with her petty problems lately. I feel like all I do everyday is listen to her whine and complain! I’ve been trying to be supportive but at the same time I’m making positive changes in my own life and in my own mindset. How can I continue to be supportive while her attitude and negativity affect me and weigh me down? 😩

I hate when people use the phrase “I would die for (xyz)” when xyz is something no one would actually die for - like a random cute dog on the internet or whatever. I mean, would you really die for that? It’s cute and all, but, no, I would not die for it.

Sometimes I wake up and am surprised I’m on people’s close friends story. They aren’t on my list but alright, I’ll take it. Guess we’re close than I expected?

Is it a red flag if someone says they don’t believe in self help books like Atomic Habits, Attached, etc?

Anybody want to bring me to the Slalom Denver party last minute?

Preparing for my final round case interview and I’ve realized that whereas prior to the first round I was pretty comfortable with casing, now I’m less and less so since I’m increasingly anxious that I could not come up with the right buckets. I’m also doing more untraditional cases at times which makes me feel like I’m not performing that well. Has anyone experienced similar things? How did you cope with it/What’s your advice? Many thanks in advance since I’m now a ball of stress 😩😩

Person that I liked (probably even loved) is married. I was too chicken to admit my attraction to this person and instead dated someone else. Pretty sure they liked me too and they are now married.

This middle schooler told me that smelling nice makes your more eloquent and then sprayed me with something. I don't know what he did but after that I had a weird axe-scent.

👿🎃👻 Halloween started early. I was ghosted, again. 👻🎃👿

Hey humans! this morning I exercised, steam roomed, and floated in a sensory deprivation tank. I can now see time flow like a river in front of me. I’m resonating the most positive auras and essences out to you all on a Saturday. Keep it breezy. 💨 💃 🏖

Chris Stapleton might be a cool guy. Maybe he has some good music. But every time I hear him sing “drive on” during a Ram commercial I want to punch him in the face. Ram has overplayed that one.

I don’t sign into teams on Fridays and someone on my project acts like i’m unreachable when they can just text me or email me ugh.

Any book recommendations that are must reads/made a significant impact on you?

America is so ugly.
