Packing for vacation - 1-2 hours!!!

4 mins??? 😳

^ Exactly. Some stuff (toiletries, makeup) never comes out of my suitcase or laptop bag. Packing takes no more than 5-10 min max.

4 minutes? How do you do it. I want to know.

Grab sunscreen.

Enjoy!

I don't I spend more than 5-10 mind packing. Toiletries stay in the bag. White dress shirts all week so I can just throw them in. Wear the same suits every week so those go right in. Pull undergarments and workout clothes out of closet and toss in. Good to go. The laptop bag also has its own set of gear that never leaves it (chargers, cables, mouse, headphones, etc).

3 dress shirts, 3 undershirts, 3 boxers, 3 socks, 2 pants. Gym stuff stays in. Toiletries stay in. Totally just 4 minutes!

"Gym stuff stays in" ... I hope you mean you never go to the gym. Otherwise: eww.

I'll let you choose: option 1) I pack my gym stuff even though I haven't worked out in 5 years, this could be the week! Option 2) I wear my workout shirt over my undershirt and have no problem rewearing gym shorts a few times

I need to make a decision by tomorrow:
Current base salary: $55k
Current bonus: 10.5% (~$5k)
Vacation: 2 weeks
*been with company for 4 years. Started as a product data analyst out of school.

New offer base salary: $90k
Bonus: 12% (~11k)
Vacation: 3 weeks

Counter offer: $80k
Bonus: 14% (~11k)
Vacation: 3 weeks

The new offer would require significantly more travel. I have a young family and value time at home. My heart is telling my to take the counter offer from my company.

After 3 years of dealing with the worst firm I've ever had the displeasure of working for, I finally landed my dream gig at a small specialty firm. The people at the new firm are all SMEs featured in and contributors to the most notable business publications in the world, less than 100 employees, better benefits, unlimimted PTO, doubled my pay and landed a senior role.

Keep looking for what you want and deserve. I'm happy to be forging a better path away from what I've had to endure.

I gave notice to one of the partners at my small firm last week. It was amicable, but she told me to wait to tell the other partner until he returned from vacation. In the interim, she told the other partner and he blew up. He is now making insane demands and threatening to call my future employer if i don’t meet them. Most problematically, he refuses to meet with me to discuss transitioning my cases over the next week. I am not sure what to do, and I am worried about ethical rules.

I have been at my company for a little less than 4 years now. I’ve had the third highest sales last year out of a team of 50 and consistently the highest outbound calls per week. They told me I can start WFH once I hit $1mil in profit, but then rescinded right before I hit the goal. They have also denied simpler request like time off, when I know they have approved this before for others. I feel super unappreciated, but the money is great. I’m not sure if I should look elsewhere and start over?
