I'm a new hire in sales and trading, with just 2 months of experience. Can I request 1.5 days off for my wedding? (0.5 day for the marriage certificate, and 1 day for the ceremony). In my 2 months here, I've taken 1 day off for my dad's surgery and 2 hours for other reasons (1 hour due to food poisoning and 1 hour for a medical appointment). My fiancé and I decided to marry in 2 weeks, and I need these 1.5 days off, but I'm unsure how to ask for them. I’m afraid that I’m asking too many day off

Some context: I'm currently in the midst of my onboarding program and working towards my certification. Originally, we hadn't planned to have our wedding so soon. However, due to my brother receiving a military deployment overseas, we want to ensure he and my sister-in-law can be present. As a result, we're moving up the wedding to just 2 weeks from now. I'm concerned about taking too many days off as a new team member, especially since I haven't made substantial contributions yet.

Is your team aware of your family situation?

Be upfront with your team. If your manager is any good, then he/she will completely understand. It’s 1.5 days not 2 weeks lol.

Our 5 month old started daycare about 5 weeks ago. We’ve already had to keep her home for 2.5 of those 5 weeks due to catching various illnesses (croup, rsv, brinchiolitis, etc). Both my wife and I have been sick most of that time as well (gotten it from the baby). Wife is thinking we get a full time nanny for the next 4 months to help the baby build antibodies. Cost aside, is this feasible / worthwhile to go thru the effort / finding the right fit, only for 4 months?

I tried asking this in my own bowl with no responses, so seeing if other consultants have run into this situation. I’m on parental leave, I got an offer for another firm, great opportunity and pay. How does one go about a resignation mid-leave when you would start the new job before the leave ends? Two weeks notice or just say I am not returning effective the day of the new job? Any things to consider besides potentially repaying the employer healthcare premium?

Getting over heartbreak and having a full time job is torture lol. My boyfriend and I just broke up after almost a year of being together. It was such a beautiful relationship but ultimately he just didn’t love me. I love him so much. My mind knows that I deserve reciprocal love and I’m worthy, but I feel physically ill. My body hurts, my stomach is in knots, my head hurts. How is it that I have to mend a broken heart but also meet my billable hours lmao
