KPMG - what’s your holiday schedule?

Fishbowl gentlemen, what are you wearing to your holiday party? 👔👗👙👘🎩

Thoughts on Overstock OSTK since the holiday is around the corner at the current share price ~67?

My local Safeway is already stocking Valentine's Day chocolates. What would they do without holiday candy to sell? Is this their main purpose? I wonder what they do in off season (if that exists)

Any United health group remote employees here? I recently accepted an accounting job and some of the onboard makes it seem like I’m only allowed to work from my home office. I usually spend a few weeks a year out of town visiting family and work during this time so I don’t have to use PTO but I’m nervous I won’t be allowed to do that anymore

Is this a good deal or not. $93,600/year” “BENEFITS “ medical, dental, vision(30%60%90% after CYD) 80hrs vacation time after 1year of employment, it cannot be carried over year to year, nor will it be paid for it upon termination same for sick time which will be granted after 90 days of employment. Max 240 hours. Paid for the 6 holidays but if happen to work holidays will get paid 8 hrs for another day off during the same pay period. No 401k

Moving from T2 to McKinsey. How do vacation requests work? I have family and friends getting married this fall in weddings delayed because of covid, but I’ll just have started so wanted to get a sense of how realistic taking vacation this fall would be and how to approach taking it (e.g. mention to HR, staffing). TIA!

I'm 6 months old at D! Planning early promotion next year.. counselor and pm both are backing me.. I need to go to India for at least 4 weeks in Dec ... most probably would be rolling off from current project by then .. would this vacation hurt my promotion chances coz of utilization etc?

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. (Plus, I don’t want to not use something that I can or should use.) Elementary stuff, I know. But I’ve freelanced my whole career until now. Thanks

I wonder, why everyone is not applying for FAANG and they’re happy with startups or other companies? (Not talking about who are not able to clear the interviews )

What companies offer the best vacation policy and sabbatical packages?

Maybe this sounds privileged.. or plain dumb... I just got back from a really fun vacation and I’m sad! Guess i got the “back to real life” blues. How do I get back to my happy self!??

Let's start a thread to highlight which industries and/or companies are doing right by their employees this holiday season. Share your job title and what kind of year-end bonus you are getting. (Feel free to share your company's name if you are comfortable doing that)

Hey friends! I hope everybody has had a productive week and had an awesome weekend for those who enjoyed their holiday! This question is specifically for Amazon Web Services in sales.

So I am currently a potential candidate as an AAE. I was told that I would in the future have to prepare a mock deck and deal with objections.

Has anybody had to prepare them and what was the scenario?

Thanks everyone!

Serious question on what vacation means in the BigLaw world

Anyone taking time off to spend time with family this week? I have the rest of the week off, and I'm heading to my mother's house tomorrow to help get things started. What's your favorite Black holiday tradition? Our family takes a shot together before we have Thanksgiving dinner 🤣.

Any of your agencies closed this week? We're "open" and were encouraged to use PTO if we we planned on being out. Now all the PMs are working because there's work to do and several of our clients are open, but there are no resources to do the work.

Does anyone here have a Tesla? Should I do it???...

Has anyone not traveled for work due to “medical” reasons so that you can try to conceive during your fertile window. I’m thinking about doing it. 21 months now...

I'm at a smaller MM bank. My original goal was to start here and hustle through into a BB, but I wasn't expecting to really like the people (my team, my direct seniors). I think the work we do probably wouldn't differ a crazy amount (we close deals, just smaller of course) and I'm wondering if I really have a reason to try to move into a bigger bank.

Perspectives?

Glad to be hear folks. I am sure I am not alone but I have experienced many attacks from my administration for simply answering questions about my faith in class or telling students I do not believe in abortion. Hoping to find some insights from others here in regards to still being a Christian example in public education without losing my job.

What should an expected relocation package ($ amount, moving support, etc.) be for someone moving from the US to the UAE to work at a new firm?

I wasn’t sure which bowl to solicit advice from so hoping to catch a bite here. I’m currently in ID. Of course, I want OUT! My interests are L&E and corporate. My options are 1) wait it out where I am in hopes to switch to L&E or 2) in house oil and gas industry transactional work. What would you do and why? I figured this bowl being specific to Texas would understand importance of oil and gas industry.

How do I look up values from a column in a row? E.g. Values in A1:A6 in B2:F2?

Men in your 30s and 40s - what is the number one quality you're looking for in a woman? I like to think I'm compassionate, intelligent and independent (as much as any other woman), but I'm still struggling to find dates. I would say I'm attractive, and I take care of myself pretty well. What am I doing wrong?

I’ve also done outside monitoring at RMA in SF, CA. Multiple reasons for the many clinics if anyone is interested.

Thoughts on calendar being double booked? What are the etiquettes to be followed. Often people double book and it feels like “ my meeting is more important that whatever you have booked time for in yours”. If both meetings are same urgency/importance - what’s the best approach ?
