Take the PTO. Do not worry about another layoff. You’ll just stress yourself out even more. It’s not worth it.

Step away for a few days.

When you’re back start the day on small tasks to build momentum and remove distractions where you can.

I’m in the same spot as you but just sold a couple projects and have some new proposals that need attention. Hope to take time off in a couple weeks.

Also, try to take breaks during the day. Start meditation. Try to end your week on a positive note. This phase will pass, stay strong!!!

How are we continuing to layoff if we are doing so great financially? Seems like we are just making room to help out family and friends of leaders

What are you even talking about? Who?

Yeah definitely step away for a bit don’t have to burn through all your PTO but taking off a day or two around the weekend could be great. You’ll feel like you took off for a while but only use a day or two of PTO just be smart about it.

If you expect light work on a Friday then take off Monday and Tuesday, so you have 4 days off

I just took three weeks off

Hi lady fish,

I’ve been with Accenture for 10 years and am about to take maternal leave. I got an interesting conversation with HR yesterday about leaving Accenture after maternal leave, and the kicker is to join the client. I got a couple of questions for you guys:

One...did anyone leave Accenture right after maternal leave? If so, what happened? Did they have to pay back anything?
