Is anyone doing a work holiday party? It’s been such a weird year so curious if anyone is. We did a small one in the office and it definitely was smaller than normal.

Our team is going to have lunch next week and that'll be our holiday party. It should be nice, it's a chance to relax with people outside of work. I kind of wish we had company party on a big scale, but I don't know if those really happen much anymore.

A lunch sounds so nice! Especially during work hours

Yep we did a bowling day with drinks and food

It was nice but I kind of wished for one that my family would be able to go to

Family wasn’t invited?? Huge bummer.

My job is but I’m not going since I’m remote.

Do you miss attending or not a big deal?

If you do billable work on a given PTO/vacation day, do you still count that day as vacation? Or do you get that vacation day "back"? Or do you only get the part that you billed "back"? (Or some other option.)

About to finish my first year. I’m a specialist. Only going to hit 65% of my hours (took a 4 week vacation cause of wedding/hm).

I never say no to work and i have fantastic reviews, and the head of my practice (with whom I work a lot for) has great things to say about me.

I’ve been fully utilized starting ~June, but first few months were slow. Am i fine?!

When is it either allowed or seen as OK to start using FTO? I recently started here and while I’m not looking to slack off and take time off, I just want to know how it works.
