Anyone who frowns upon that is not someone I’d want to work with

I don’t think so. This sounds cold, but the time is meant for more than just grieving. There are a lot of logistics that need to be taken care of and as a family member so many ways you can and should be supportive

Sorry for your loss. Firms have these types of policies in place for a reason, and you shouldn't feel bad for taking advantage of it.

For us it’s only 3 days, but I’ve taken it for an uncle I was close to and no one was anything b it supportive. I would think a spouse’s parent would be even more understandable- even if you weren’t as close to the parent- it’s a huge time needed to support your spouse and ensure she/he has the time to grieve.

Take it. Anyone who would frown upon it needs an attitude adjustment.

Depends on firm policy. I don't think Accenture covers that. But I'm sure a project should be reasonable enough to allow the short notice PTO.

They do. I’m at Accenture and it covers (as hopefully all firms should).

Pandora on my drive back home after 13 hours in the office - "All I wanna do is drive home to you, baby I'm faded". Recently broken up. Also, going home to a douche roommate. Oh, the cruelty! 🙁

Confession: I'm a new mom traveling and nursing my baby (pumping at work). I'm starting to think the reason I still nurse is to leave the 20 person conf room and go sit in a quiet room for 20 mins.

Kid (clearly a consultant of lesser age than me) tried to cut me in premier boarding line. I blocked him. He's now in a middle seat next to me. Hope he's not planning on having to go to the bathroom.

If you know you are flying, do everyone a favor and bathe. I can smell this guy from 6 rows away and he is in a middle seat. Woman and man in suits on the side should get their dry-cleaning comped

I’ve been with PwC for a while. I like it here. But I definitely liked it more when it was less “tony Robbins” and more “we eat what we kill.” Can’t stand this fluffy marketing stuff. #SplashThoights
