Just realized we are about a third through the year and I have taken 1 day off yet. I get 5 weeks off…what am I waiting for!??!

I just scheduled a long weekend in May. How is everyone else doing on getting away from work?

Oof, same here, I’ve barely touched my PTO and now I’m wondering what I’m saving it for. I just booked a Friday off in June to make a long weekend. Gotta remind myself that rest is actually productive. Where are you headed in May?

That's a good reminder! I've been so focused on just getting things done that I haven't given much thought to taking time off. Now that we're finally getting some nice weather I may start chipping away at my days off. I'd like to do some long weekend camping trips in a month or two, before the summer heat really takes the fun out of everything.

I've only taken two days so far. I have 27 this year, going to use 10 for a vacation in July and then I'll probably save the rest to use around the holidays. Going anywhere fun over the long weekend? Or are you just going to enjoy some time at home?

Long family weekend in Toronto! Open to any food recommendations!

Hey fishes. I have been offered Management Consultant role with CTC break up in terms of JB, RB, fixed and variable. So is the fixed amount my gross salary without any other deduction except TDS, or will the organisation contribution to PF be also deducted from the fixed component? Also, will claimable components like LTA, mobile bill reimbursement etc. be in addition to this fixed component or will they be included in it?
