K3, I like the baking idea ... wish I knew who you were, I’d love to have you on one of my engagements

Baking for someone is the purest gesture of wholesome affection, and a sly way to innoculate your team from a scolding. Is it possible to hate someone who bakes good cookies?

What a great idea, ACN3!

I’ve always found books to be a low risk high reward gift. You’re not likely to give one that’s going to offend someone, unless it’s like Fire and Fury or something haha

Books are great but there is more value if one reads them and thinks of how to use the learnings. Before my current company I used to have book readings lunches with focus on success stories based on learnings. It was a blast and the team really appreciated it even if they had to buy the book themselves

So about quiet quitting, at another job I was in I felt I was getting more and more tacked onto my job and picking up the slack of everyone else. I told my boss that I was doing work that was in someone else’s job description and it would be nice if they could help me out by doing their job. He told me, “But you’re so much better at it.” Looking back, I think the whole team was quiet quitting and he was resting on me and so I real quit. What are ya’lls thoughts? Have you ever done it?

This is more of a rant than anything but advice is welcome. I’m so fed up with my manager micromanaging everything. We miss client deadlines frequently because deliverables are backlogged under their review, they make comments on things they weren’t in client discussions about, and won’t listen when told client wanted it X way. I’m at a loss for what to say to them because I’ve tried repeatedly to fix this to no avail.

Had only one call with my TL in first two months. Few weeks later, on workday I noticed that my TL got reassigned. Contacted him and have setup regular catch-ups. He dropped a bomb that he is leaving and I will be reporting to partner. Partner is time poor and no feedback is offered. This is my first consulting role and I feel I am not receiving enough support. Few people are helping to learn the ropes but WFH has exacerbating the problem. How do I get a TL to receive pointed feedback? PwC

I recently went on disability leave and my boss Auto forwarded my emails to my coworker.

Looking for some specific info on Short Term Disability eligibility at EY. I would like to accept an offer, but won’t be eligible for 16-wk parental leave before 1 yr of tenure. This is an important detail for me since I am expecting this year. I have received in email that for parents who have a child *before* 1 year, that they are eligible for STD after 3 mnths at 100% for 6 weeks (+3weeks of approved PTO). is there fine print that pregnancy is a ‘pre-existing condition’ and I’d be denied?
