McKinsey & Company I am joining the McKinsey & Company Boston office in late July and searching for housing in the meantime. If I could get some insight on the ratio of days in the office vs work from home that would be super helpful!
If I need to come into the office regularly I will try to find a place close by.

That was super, super kind of you. I'd imagine they're very grateful (or they should be..) for this gesture and focus on the fact that you allowed a new family to be together on the holidays. It'll all come back around.
Thank you, that's encouraging. I'm feeling a little bit better today, but I'm going to hold on to these words of encouragement over the next few weeks.
I hope you at least bagged the New Years off to compensate for the other holidays you missed. That's really unfortunate but at least you were able to make a family happy by giving them time to be together. It will all pay off soon enough.
Came here to say this. Def schedule some extra down time for yourself coming up so you have something to look forward to. If not NYE specifically, sometime in January seems key.
You can be proud that you offered such a kindness for others
Can you get any other days off to compensate as an alternative? You can also request to be off next Thanksgiving/Christmas.
That's a good idea! I think I've learned that it's not good for me to work both. Obviously--it makes me feel all ragey. I'm going to make sure I at least have one off next year. It'll make me a better person to work with.
I think being understaffed shouldn't be an employee problem. If the company is understaffed, they should take ownership of that and hire some temporary employees.
That would be really nice. When we have gotten temps, they don't want to work. They will sit around for half the day and call in frequently, leaving other people to still have to carry their weight.
I mean, you did volunteer....Karma will repay you. They know they owe you next year or if anything comes up for you before then.
That's true... thanks!
Make sure you have New Year's eve to celebrate with your family. Look forward to having to spend the last day of the year with family instead of resenting your coworkers.
Call dibs on New Year's Eve so you won't feel too bitter towards them. At least this time they know they have to return the favor. I think they couldn't reject your request for a time off on New Years.
