Look at your bills ;) also revamp your resume maybe also try to take PTO and don’t think about work during that time

Goodluck!

As in 20 calendar days or 20 working days? Either way that’s too long, but if it’s 20 working days I’d look for a new job asap.

If you like the place, it could definitely be worth looking into improvements though.

20 day month end close? Did they tell you this during the interview process?

Hiring managers like to give people a pretty picture of what the role will be like.

Sorry this happened to you.

What do you do the other 10 days?

Processes get dragged on because there’s tons of review in between each individual process rather than completing it and doing an overall full review of the P&L at the end and make any adjustments as needed.

So far the only reason I’ve been told no is that “if you do then everyone will want to and then no one will be in the office” … how can I convince them that I work better out of the office and get this freedom & mental break for myself?
