I’m really getting a cold 🥶 shoulder at work. I think people are tired from 9/15 but I’m worried about my utilization being low. I’ve done a lot of emails reaching out for work. I don’t want to be annoying but should I next step arrange meetings /checkins ?

I say this with the kindest intentions - as a tax manager you should be over-utilized and not searching for work unless your firm is somehow overstaffed. There's clearly a problem, unless you're new at the firm. If you're new I'd say it's normal and people are overwhelmed at this point and dont have time or patience to delegate.

Is there anyone you're close with in a higher position who can shed some light on what the issues may be?

If you didn't have a full schedule before mini season it's likely normal. I would enjoy the down time in that case and not take it personally unless it persists and carries into next busy season.

We were not trying to conceive. And I was drinking alcohol like twice a week.
Now I missed my period and pregnant. I am panicking a lot, not sure if I want a baby right now. Definitely i cant deal with pregnancy constantly knowing how much u drinking could have affected the fetus and if i could ever endure the consequences it would bring upon the baby
Help me understand if my baby will be fine or not.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out.

I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

For B4 - For teams with temp (contractor) seniors - I’ve noted that they are held to the same work quality standards of normal full time seniors, while not getting any of the senior trainings or perks that would go with that perm role (just some basic survivals trainings at best), nor the access to the perm positions once they prove they can do the job.
