Rupee Riddle: Where Would Your Lakhs Go?
Picture this: You wake up with ₹5 lakh in your account. Do you
A) Book a dream vacation,
B) Pay off debts, or
C) Grow it through stocks?
Drop your pick and why in the comments. Let’s decode our money mindset.

I work in a sucky IBM cic, making $54k. It’s a full time job with regular benefits and vacation etc, it’s working with government clients. The job isn’t what I applied for & constantly changes. I don’t like that, but I’m a full time employee which is “stable employment”. Btw, I’m in the DC area.

I just got hired for a government contract through Accenture for a Business Analyst role. Pay is $65 per hour. 3 year contract. Benefits too. No PTO. Holidays off with pay, after 90 days.

Thoughts?

Do you drink or do anything wild at company holiday parties or events? I feel like as one of the only minority associates I have to be extra careful to stay professional. All my white coworkers can talk about is the open bar and how crazy everyone gets...true or false for your company?

A partner just walked from his office. By passed 4 or 5 people who are generally more knowledgeable on our banking logistics straight to the only black support staff employee to@ask if today is a bank holiday.

Thoughts on unlimited vacation?

We're discussing the company holiday plan and it looks like my manager is going to pressure me to work on Thanksgiving this year. Late-stage capitalist america, now without holidays!

¡Feliz Día de Acción de Gracias!/Happy Thanksgivings!

How do you and your family celebrate this holiday? What are some of your traditions (old, new or remixed ones)? What dishes do you like to make?

does booking sick date or vacation impact utilization?

Trying to decide between the following two trips:
- Portugal: Porto > Lisbon > Lagos
- Spain: Barcelona > Ibiza > Mallorca

Which do you think is better for a week long vacation in end of September or early October?

Holiday office party coming up tomorrow and I still haven't bought a gift... ugh. Any suggestions? I never know what to bring.

A parent of one of my students told admin she thinks it's irresponsible that I won't be grading over Christmas break. I let the students know to get any work they need graded in before the break and I'll get it to it during our workdays in January. Apparently that's not fast enough for her 🙄. Is it wrong that I'm sort of pissed off by this? Should I say something?

What's the longest vacation you've taken and where did you go? Thinking about capitalizing on my unlimited PTO and want some ideas.

How's Siegfried PTO policy? Is there firmwide shutdown during the holidays?

I want to take this moment to wish everyone a happy new year. Still on holiday vacation.

Looking for advice: when leaving the big4, is it better to cash out your vacation balance or take all your vacation if it means you could leave the day of the performance bonus payout? Suggestions on what would be better in terms of monetary benefit? My vacation balance is full (176 hours) and my bonus would be approximately be $5000 since I was promoted… this would be after busy season FYI

If you are on short term disability during a firm holiday, will you still accrue those days and can use them as paid time off?

Anybody have to take time off for long-covid? How has your HR handled it? I feel like any info I have gotten on FMLA and disability is because I’ve brought it up and have had to follow up multiple times.

Where is everyone trying to go on holiday this year? 🏝🏔🚞✈️

How hard or easy is it to transfer groups within EY?

Still WFH? What are other chambers doing for task management? Our chambers has been keeping up with assignments, incoming emails needing judge’s eyes, and written orders, all through Microsoft Planner. We share PDFs through Sharepoint folders. Although we still email draft orders back and forth, the system seems to work well enough. We still aren’t operating at our previous capacity because it takes 10x the number of steps to get a motion heard or an order entered—90% of our workload.

Other than the weekly tech event, what are some good happy hours for meeting professionals? Really love that event and hope to find a few more. Thanks!

The key is to keep the momentum going guys...we can’t give up so easily and let the suits win. $AMC to the moon tomorrow!!
