Hi fishes, How are the projects & future of data science in EY GDS tech consulting? Is it risky to join considering most of the Indian companies are not that good in data science projects outcomes. Some are targetting unrealistic task and applicability of AIML to every unrelevant field. Is it going to be challenging for someone who is from nontech background & joining tech team with not at all software develping experience. Is it possible to cope up with team? Suggestions would help a lot. EY

Just do your best, take meds and power through. Or, take a sick day. See your ObGyn to find out any new options / strategies to help.
Seek an accommodation
How long have you worked there? Honestly 7 months is intense - we discourage wfh during the first year as a regular thing, but really only for the first 90 days unless there’s a problem.
Maybe seek an accommodation for 3-4 days a month with a dr note.
My nieces get relief from stick on warm patches. You can buy them at most pharmacies or online at the FSA store. Before that nothing really worked effectively.
I honor and respect the no wfh rule for a certain probationary period... however, I also respect and honor the ability to meet my staff where they are at.
I would say... can you TRULY and GENUINELY say you really have ONLY the option to work from home OR call out? If you only want to work from home out of convenience, then ... if the company is truly built for needing in-office staff... I see their point for limited wfh.
If you're truly in a position that you either need to call out or try to work from home, even if it's for modified hours, then... have that conversation with your one-up. Maybe they'll be able to allow wfh... maybe not. Maybe there's no room outside the standard policy.
My stance: we're patient facing, so... you're either here or you're near death and maybe can do a FEW hours from home but not the whole day OR .... you call out completely. If you can't make it in then you're doing bad enough that you can't work barely at all.
I would just be there with your warm tea and your Tylenol, get through it. If people ask, be honest and tell them you’re under the weather. Nothing wrong with that.
Take a day off, duh.
Can you get a doctors note?
