My in-law’s family is the vacation type that wakes up at 6am to line up at Disney before it opens and runs (actually sprints) to rides before the lines build up. They will get annoyed if you don’t keep up and do this for other vacations outside of Disney.

Am I the only one that finds this type of vacationing miserable?

I’m on vacation, I want to sleep in a bit and take my time.

Are ya’ll getting holiday gifts for your judge & JA and if so, what are you getting for them? The culture of my court is definitely a gift-giving one, and I really like my JA and my judge so I want to get both of them something small (like a plant, but not a plant lol).

Juneteenth is just around the corner. This is the first year I get the day off as a company holiday -- not sure if my company is having any programs or events. How about yours? And if not, are you doing anything on your own to recognize/celebrate this day?

How do you survive on a PhD stipend knowing it’ll be years before you can afford luxuries like a vacation or brand-name ice cream?

Check out Boohoo for awesome plus size clothing for holiday parties. I find they have on trend items for really inexpensive prices

McK AMA. On PTO this week and next. What do you want to know?

What’s the most diabolical exit you or a colleague has had from a company? For context, I’m not talking necessarily on bad terms - just a savage exit that’s all

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?

Hi everyone. I was given a verbal offer after some negotiation and I’m comfortable with the salary. There was no real discussion about anything other than salary. When the written offer arrives, have you had any success negotiating PTO, health insurance, retirement ect.? Thanks!

What's the longest vacation you've taken and where did you go? Thinking about capitalizing on my unlimited PTO and want some ideas.

I received a verbal offer for a VP position at CCB line of business at JPMC in NYC two weeks ago. The recruiter asked for salary expectations but there was no number set. It’s been two weeks since and complete radio silence. I sent an email to a hiring manager a week ago but received no reply. It’s August so people could be on vacation but this is really strange. Has anyone had similar experience?

One of my coworkers thinks she deserves more PTO than it is allowed in our agency because she's "struggling". We all struggle with our own battles but she's being very rude about it. How can we handle this?

We are reviewing benefits for our company. I am keen on knowing what's your company doing with the below.
pension contributions, how much is employee and employer contribution?
Secondment pension contribution?
How much PTO?

any help would be appreciated.

Should I take this role?
Pros: 50k bump, company is full remote, no time tracking software, unlimited PTO, 10k in quarterly bonuses, vertical move in responsibility and title, will set me up for future roles in different companies with the title I am looking for (so strategic move)

Cons: Its a startup, the solution they offer is adjacent my desired industry, its a very small team so I wouldn’t be necessarily grow my network, tech stipend for new laptop (but they don’t provide a work one)

Is it bad to be over-utilized? I just did the math and I could charge zero hours this week and take a 3 week vacation after and still be 100% utilized? Is that abnormal?

Is it crazy to switch a job while undergoing IVF?
I’ve been in my current role for almost 4 years. While I am generally happy, & have flexibility with time off for personal matters, there are things that bother me. I have an offer for way more money, manager title (which I want), much larger bonus & IVF benefit is better. However, I’m in the middle of stims and it is STRESSFUL. Part of me can’t imagine taking on a new role while I’m in the middle of this. But also feel like I can’t pass it up

How much PTO do you typically take in a year? I've only been taking about 1.5-2 weeks and I'm starting to feel burnt out, but it doesn't seem like anyone on my team takes more!

Does anyone know the exact holiday dates that we will have in the last week of December? Has anyone received any email communication regarding this?

For all you retail people...are you experiencing a very slow holiday season? I am a retail manager and I feel like this season has been freakishly slow. I thought we would at least match last year's number or be up a little bit but we are trending down. I talked to employees of other stores in the mall and they are saying the same thing. Is anyone else experiencing this in their market?

Meeting with a recruiter at one of the FAANG companies. I won’t be able to move jobs because of H1b /GC at least for the next year. Any idea if I should start off with that or should I just try to understand the work that they have been doing?

When it comes time for me to write my dissertation, the only way I can actually write it is if someone buys me a grant so that I can afford to make the time to write it!

Recent immigrant and about to buy a car - insurance company said it would take 2 weeks to process my application. Is this normal? In the US I insured my car with one 10min phone call, so was a bit surprised

What are the hours like in Deal Advisory KPMG?

Which consulting firms have the best Energy practices?

Any upcoming/recent grads starting at PwC for consulting in NYC this summer/fall who would want to connect? Would love to get to know some people before starting. (Also would appreciate any likes since I just joined and a lot of features are locked lol)

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship. I’m devastated because he’s never expressed anything like this in the 8 years. He’s been super supportive and loving, even when we were in a long distance relationship. He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>

Breakup etiquette- we broke up and I was supposed to go to his relatives’s wedding in a couple of weeks. I know the couple, not super well, but have hung out and texted individually as well. Should I let them know I won’t be attending and wish them well or don’t reach out to them?

Hi fishes,

Please give me 11 like for DM... Thanks in advance 😊

Rejected by google. Very depressed as was hoping to escape big4 consulting esp with all these h1b crap going on. Unsure of next move- hate going again on the interview treadmill which is depressing

PwC 🐠 - health insurance coverage. What are the deductibles for the high-deductible plans? Still want to use the HSA. Thanks!

I might have a spending problem. I don’t think (?) I have a full blown addiction, but I’m cleaning out my closet and finding stuff that is few years old, still with the tags on, and lots of duplicates. I get a dopamine hit when I find a good deal and I’m wondering if it’s going too far. I can pay my bills, but I’m wasting a lot of $$ on things I don’t need. I have multiple family members who are/were addicts and hoarders and my own behavior is making me nervous. Any other big shoppers out there?

I can’t wait for AI and RPA to catch on in audit...bye bye PA and Core 😁😂👋👋👋

Anyone else planning to take at least a week off as soon as things get back to normal?

Hate the city I decided to move to and my roommate sucks, quarantined back home at my parent’s and tempted to work from here forever haha

There are now reports from China that they’ve identified 30 different strains of covid. This effectively renders a one-and-done vaccine unattainable. Moreover, (cont.’d)

Does it make sense for me to acquire a portfolio of small margin-rich businesses but currently in duress due to COVID? I have $1.3M liquid earning 2% in a HY savings act - offer cash to owners for eq?

Hey everyone who keeps on posting about how they don't want to keep their $1200 stimulus check, give it to me. Thnks

Trying to convince my husband to cut my hair 🤣 Any suggestions to change his mind?

How much do you spend on food delivery/takeout every week? Just looked at my account & my lonely butt ordered $120 worth of food this week. 😬 it’s the only thing I splurge on cuz I would rarely spend that much on clothes or other non essentials...is anyone in the same boat?

I literally cannot wait to see my friends and family 😩 Hope you’re all hanging in there.

Oil price falls below zero (for like a second), some mouthbreather on Twitter: “does this mean we get paid to fill up at the gas station?” 🤦‍♀️

Realized I like to sit cross legged while I work and my current chair doesn’t have enough room for that. Anyone have chair recommendations? Flexible on price

Hello where and how do you find a recruiter to work with that can help find a suitable position in the brokerage field?

Is anyone’s wfh office chair getting less “springy” over time? Mine just doesn’t have the same umph it had before, constantly lowering throughout the day.

Just tried the Houseparty app. Not impressed. It’s definitely for 12 year olds. I like the concept of games, but someone needs to get on a version with R rated games. Where my coders at?

China has implemented mandatory anal Covid tests for foreign visitors. This seems extremely woke, since anal tests are more accurate than nasal, and I think we should implement this back home in USA. Like for people who go to the store or gym, just a quick butt test to keep people safe. Thoughts?

My whole sleep schedule is fucked up thanks to my husband the teacher, who can sleep in and “give out assignments” for like an hour
