It’s on the invitations, I believe. The template says:
“You and one (1) guest are cordially invited to
our statistically-assured low-risk holiday gathering
to be held at
[an undecorated, non-offensive location]
on
[choose October or January for cost savings].
From 4pm-7pm. [do not promote after dark driving for risk purposes]
Dress is [choose cowboy formal, cocktail, or casual, on a triannually rotating basis].
Refreshments will be served. A limited cash bar will be available.”

Here's a question I wish I never had to ask. Is it better to use the code for bereavement leave or just burn pto I'm going to lose anyway? Does it make a difference from a utilization standpoint?

For all you retail people...are you experiencing a very slow holiday season? I am a retail manager and I feel like this season has been freakishly slow. I thought we would at least match last year's number or be up a little bit but we are trending down. I talked to employees of other stores in the mall and they are saying the same thing. Is anyone else experiencing this in their market?

Does PwC Canada allow rollover of unused vacation days?

Starting a new job next month, and considering taking two days off for kids’ spring break next month. Not sure whether it’s appropriate to request time off for a new job (I would’ve preferred not to take any time off for first three months). I may just be able to just ask for a single Friday off (so 1 day rather than 2 days).

Any thoughts on whether I should proceed with the request? I just came from big law and want to make sure I’m not making a bad impression on my colleagues.

It's off school property and there will be a bar (thank god), for context.

I received a job offer from a PI firm (MVA and tractor trailer cases) in Houston, Texas; the bonus proposed was 2.5% of attorney’s fees for any cases settled each quarter.

Is it realistic to settle/resolve that many cases? I am trying to learn more about this niche before I counter-offer and attempt to negotiate.
