The Sunday scaries really hitting right now, last week before holiday vacations means a ton of urgency 😢

26F, born and raised in the Midwest, Indian American, Sunni, constantly counting days till my next vacation, non-Hijabi/dress modestly/don't drink/don't smoke/pray 5x (may be late on some)

Has anyone used an Airbnb experience photographer while on a vacation. I know the experience will vary greatly, but generally speaking, how does it work? Is it like when you go to some of these studios and they hold your pictures hostage till you fork over a bunch of $$? The ones I’ve viewed said they give you X amount of digital pics within 2 days. Are you expected to tip the photographer and if so, how much?

How was your holiday party last night? Every company and their mother had theirs yesterday.

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.

Can someone assist me with a negotiation? My friend is in a bad situation. She knows if she stays at current position, there’s no growth and they are looking for reasons to eliminate her position. She was offered $15,000 less than what she’s making now. Based on what the hiring manager said—his offer was a struggle to come with due to budget. She mainly wants relocation and flexible PTO since she will have to go and move from Maryland to Delaware.

As we head into winter and the holiday season, remember that the dark and cold can really take a toll on your physical and mental health. Take care of yourselves so you can take care of others! What's your best winter self-care tip for those in healthcare?

Should I take this role?
Pros: 50k bump, company is full remote, no time tracking software, unlimited PTO, 10k in quarterly bonuses, vertical move in responsibility and title, will set me up for future roles in different companies with the title I am looking for (so strategic move)

Cons: Its a startup, the solution they offer is adjacent my desired industry, its a very small team so I wouldn’t be necessarily grow my network, tech stipend for new laptop (but they don’t provide a work one)

If buy the partners you work with regularly a holiday gift, how much do you spend? Usually I get baked goods or food items which you can’t tell the actual amount spent on. This year, though, I’d like to support local restaurants by encouraging people to order takeout—hence, giving gift cards.

How much is appropriate for a restaurant gift card from an associate to a partner?

Does Slalom provide any extra days off in addition to vacation? For example, short days on summer Fridays and closure between Christmas and New Years?

I heard most of us are off for some holiday next week, so enjoy the day off to prepare for the holiday!

Anyone work for Kraken? If so what are some pros/cons about the company? I work financial crime investigations, and had a recruiter reach out about a law enforcement production job. Opinions on salary, PTO, and other benefits would be helpful!

Oliver Wyman vs Strategy&?

I had higher expectations for this bowl. You’re in your 30’s/40’s and looking for a hookup? 😒

Ghosting by HR is inevitable. Would suggest companies Top mgmt to check the processes by applying themselves once in a quarter and fix the gaps just like they ride Cab or deliver foods once in a quarter😅

What did you do to stay sane today?

I have started 'no screens' hour as the first hour when I wake up and the last hour before I sleep.

I realized there is no need to start thinking of that meeting, or how to create that presentation from the moment I wake up.

What is that 1 change you made to your lifestyle that has helped your mental wellbeing?

Remember-
You are enough.

Does anyone here feel suicidal?
I have this inner urge of ending all my miseries. Sick of this looser life

People work best when inspired, connected, helped, communicated with and meet others. They learn so much from each other.
As we slowly get to opening offices, this bowl helps people by sharing tips, stories on how to stay sane, interpersonal skills etc.

How are you feeling today?

A simple act of smiling at someone not only helps tee off the relationship, but sends all the right signals to your brain about your state.

Be generous with your smiles
You never know who needs it more than you.

Did you smile at a stranger today?
