New-ish to my agency and trying to figure out the appropriate amount of PTO to take. We have unlimited. What is a fair amount to take off?

Preping up for aws data analytics speciality exam. Going through udemy course for prep. Any exam practice cheats heats or typical topics I need to focus on. Exam in 3 weeks and I have 2 weeks vacation to prep

Just had a very uncomfortable conversation with a partner. I have some time off booked to go to my brother’s wedding (I’m the best man). We were chatting and I mentioned that my brother’s future husband is so nice and really a great guy, and we already consider him a member of our family. Partner’s tone immediately shifts and as we’re ending the call he says, “Okay, enjoy the time with your family at the civil ceremony.” Like… girl you live in California, you cannot be this backward.

When PTO is paid out during a exit from a company, do they take pre-tax deductions for insurance and dental etc? It has already taken from that months salary. Why is it being taken twice?

Starting a new job next month, and considering taking two days off for kids’ spring break next month. Not sure whether it’s appropriate to request time off for a new job (I would’ve preferred not to take any time off for first three months). I may just be able to just ask for a single Friday off (so 1 day rather than 2 days).

Any thoughts on whether I should proceed with the request? I just came from big law and want to make sure I’m not making a bad impression on my colleagues.

I hit rock bottom (I mean it) and in 6 weeks I managed a vacation, landed a new job, found a great guy, and landed a bomb apartment. Everything can change at the drop of a hat - keep your chin up.

If you take vacation, is the onus on you to make up that billable time? If so, how do you enjoy long vacations?

Looking to book a quiet 4-5 day beach vacation in February. Flying from Boston with my sister, who’s never been on a beach vacation before. Which locations would you recommend? Continued.

Just had to go to thesaurus dot com to look up synonyms for “exciting”. I think I need a vacation….

What is your title and how much vacation do you get?

Left on vacation with the boyfriend, 1 hour into the drive realized I forgot my Switch at home 🤦🏼‍♀️ Effectively adding 2 hours to our trip to go back for it, hope this dumb sea otter event doesn’t lead to me getting dumped on vacay 🙃

I accepted a new job, they said PTO was “generous.” I find out it’s 19 days a year of PTO (which includes sick days). I have two young children and we like to vacation 1-2x a year (no more than a few days away each time). Am I crazy that this is pretty limited time off? 8 of the normal holidays off during the year (working the week between Christmas and NYE). Thoughts? I dont know if lack of PTO is a good reason to back out, is it?

Hopefully accepting a new job soon, do I need to tell my current job where I am going? Part of me just wants to stay vague and say I’m taking some time off.

Hi everyone, I’m interested in joining Slalom as I’m doing interviews I was wondering what are the benefits, PTO, normal hours, dress code over there?

Anyone familiar with work as a Leave Administrator and how it is? Considering going from a role working with PTO/Sick to a role working directly with Leave.

What holiday party did you get?
Anyone living close to an office, got a holiday party with food and drinks, and the venue started open for them until around midnight. Our remote workers got a one hour party w a DJ and trivia that let you win gift cards. Yeah it was nice to win a gift card but I found it lame in comparison to hanging out with my team in real life.

My wife recently put in her two weeks and half the people she worked with are just ignoring her messages. They asked to work longer but bc of her new company she cant. Shes moving for about 60% more pay from external audit to senior accounting. Shes extremely sad and im confused why these firms are so uptight about this. She is giving them an additional 4 days which she wanted to use on vacation. Did she do something wrong?

Hey everyone, would 12/23 afternoon not a bad time for holiday travels? Booking for a flight for my parents from overseas to LAX ,trying to avoid crazy busy afternoon.

Based on the recent event of George Floyd’s murder/police brutality, what do others think? Most of the church is silent when it comes to these issues and not sure why. Curious to know others thoughts regardless of your race/ethnic background.

We’ve been attending a church for about 6 months now and trying to decide if it’s our church home. The only reason I’m hesitant is because people don’t seem to engage with us as much as I expected. For example, I told the pastors wife about a serious diagnosis we recently received and she did pray for us on the spot, but no one has reached out to us at all to check in. Am I expecting too much?

Hi everybody.
Right now I’m working as a junior product engineer in Amsterdam. From januari on I’ll be a medior product engineer. And now I’m in the middle of negotiating about my salary increase. The salary that I’m being offered feels low (41.5k).
Is there an other product engineer that could tell me if my gut feeling is right or not? Thanks in advance!

Hello all, for those working in an agency. I wanted to see what your typical client workload is? I’ve been in my role for about a year but the workload has changed dramatically without hiring help.

Can you please share:

- how many support staff you have on those accounts
- how many active pitches you send per month for those clients on average

Thanks all!
