Project is goin to mandate Labor Day weekend work do you:
1. Fight back in vain but at least you tried
2. Work because ‘get there at all costs’
3. Not work and just ghost the weekend

I’m sure there are other options

Not sure where C1 works where they can just pack up and leave on PTO in the middle of crunch time. SM1 is right.

If it's mandated you and your manager agree to a make up holiday

Be transparent and have a convo. Are you legit cancelling important plans? If not, the convo should be about when you all get that time back at a minimum. Losing a long holiday weekend should be worth a full week off soon after IMO.

It’s our first big SAP go live. And while I usually support the all hands on deck this leadership pushes weekend work for every stage: behind in test, behind in build, behind in load and people are burned out. Honoring 1 US holiday shouldn’t bring us to the ground for go-live

Do that sh”t and take extra days when it’s over.

So ideally this would be good but I already have too much PTO so flexing time won’t help, and we’re in a multiple release model and they just keep pushing weekend work across multiple releases

Yeah book a longer vacation the week or so after

Need advice. I have a client who just can't stop getting in their own way. They push us to turn a document quickly (in this case, an LPA for a new fund), and then take weeks to review, following up with a 50-page chart setting forth the LPA sections and detailed questions/comments. I can't keep anyone on this client because their process is so brutally and unnecessarily time-consuming, and I can't keep pulling all-nighters just trying to respond to all the questions. What do I do?

Hi everybody! 😊
I've been working as a Junior Analog Design Engineer for a year and half.
I received a proposal for a Senior Analog Designer role from Bosch in the same city where I am currently working.
Should I wait and build up a few more years of experience before accepting a Senior role or should I jump in and work to fill the gap?
Next year, there will be an important deadline for the project I'm working on and my resignation could be critical for the team, how would you deal with it?
