Most of my team is already traveling to the client site but I do not feel comfortable traveling. Will this impact my performance or the perception of my performance?

It probably will impact their perception even subconsciously. But not in a way I would worry too much about, especially since family is 100x more important than what your coworkers think of you

This. Have people on my teams that have similar outlooks. I enjoy the team dinners/in person meetings we get to have now, but would not allow this to affect performance discussions at all, unless there are other glaring issues. Even at that point, it would be a “Why are we not doing enough to develop?” Discussion than talking about why the performance is bad

Context: I’ve been seeing my grandparents and parents (all 60+) a lot since last year. We took quarantine really seriously. Really enjoying the family time and would rather not cut it short (both because of travel and variant exposure potential).

like

Yes and it’s a fair perception. The question is of whether you should be traveling is not yours to make, that is the purview of the employer. With that as a baseline assumption why is your desire to spend time with family more important than that of a peer. It unfair to expect that your situation is more special than others.

It’s like a firefighter saying they won’t take live calls cause they don’t want to take the risk of getting hurt. The risk of getting covid is now a baseline assumption of all employment and companies cannot play into individual circumstances to operate.

You are probably correct that it may be possible to do it remote. However it is not OPs decision and unfortunately companies cannot get into a review game on each individual case of travel for a company like Deloitte. The team is traveling at the purview of that teams lead. OP can refuse but understand the impacts on them.

There is for sure work that the big firms are doing that requires travel and it’s not for a peanut gallery to judge.

If you are getting signals that it has, document and contact HR.

Just tell them you don’t feel comfortable cuz you’re high risk.

Hi all,

I joined
KPMG around 3 months ago but I am not getting work here. Although, I qualified some project's interview, yet due to some internal reason, they considered someone else, and I again came on bench.

I am unable to figure out what can be done now.

Should I start searching work outside.

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role.

Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?
