Is it supposed to be ironic that that Gucci holiday spot set in 1994 doesn’t actually look like 1994? Looks more 70s/80s.

What restaurants are serving on Christmas? Hoping to take my out-of-town relatives somewhere nice for the holiday.

Should I work a bit during holiday break to get my areas in good shape or just say f this and take time off because audit is going to get done no matter what.

I inherited messy area from a person who recently left the firm and leadership was saying we (as in I) need to put in extra effort to close down review notes that the previous girl left (there’s about 89 open as of now lol)

I took my first vacation as an adult this week and for the first time ever I feel like I have a real perspective on where I want to go with my career ❤️

My fifth sober Fourth of July in the books. Hope you all had a safe and sober holiday

I heard most of us are off for some holiday next week, so enjoy the day off to prepare for the holiday!

I'm hoping to make some money and really get the word out there about my business during the holiday season. Is it a good idea to participate in farmers' markets/holiday markets if you have a small amount of inventory right now but want to get the word out? Or should I just focus on marketing and creating more (I sell seasoned salts, herbs, jams, and preserves + occasionally fresh bread or baked goods) until I'm ready for more orders?

Can a person (non-Iranian) travel from Iran to US for vacation, assuming they have the appropriate visa? Are there any restrictions to US entry from immigration/Covid perspective?

Planning a honeymoon in Greece for September. Any recommendations on islands? It’s a 2 week vacation. Some time will be spent on Mykonos for the sake of a specific resort but other than that I have nothing else planned.

Is it still possible to get a referral after I apply for the role? TIA!

Hi, I’m looking to switch into marketing (entry level), as consulting is not aligned with my skill set/passions. Does anyone know of any ad agencies in LA that have good work-life balance, good pay, PTO, great culture, training? Your help means more than you know!!! Looking to do informational interviews and try to network my way in, as I feel the barrier to entry was much harder than anticipated. Anything helps, thank you so much!

How is WLB in accounting advisory (FAAS, CMAAS, etc)? I understand there will be busy times with overtime, but is it the type of thing where I’ll be having to cancel weekend plans out of nowhere on a Friday afternoon? Having to cancel PTO for urgent projects, etc?

My partner is an Occupational Therapist and she was laid off in March when NYC closed schools and therefore her clinic. Initially she claimed unemployment but they moved to tele-therapy so she’s been earning an hourly rate. However she’s struggling as they are consistently not been paying her the correct amount and with no explanation. She had an employment contract to end of Aug with a 3 month notice period that they did not give to her. Could she possibly force them to pay out her contract?

Anyone ever been unexpectedly laid off? As in completely blindsided, was not ready at all for it? How did you bounce back?
