Saw another post like this, but asking for more detail from you all on it. What exactly is your firm doing to acknowledge Juneteenth? Not just time off but any awareness efforts. Also, if you don't get time off tell us what the firm is.

We got the day off. I still have no idea what Juneteenth is, never followed the buzz. But then again, we have other holidays that I’m unaware of the reason for them. In fact, that’s most holidays we have off

Nearly three years after Slavery was officially abolished the final slaves on Galveston Island were informed of their freedom by a Union General. Literally 3 years they were tormented as slaves when they should have been free. It marked a big moment in history.

No time off. No acknowledgement.

A nice email message, but no time off. You can choose to use a personal day off for it but it’s not mandated time off.

PwC- we get 2 floating holidays a year; you can choose to use one for Juneteenth.

A holiday for us. Assorted awareness emails. Plus employees in our Texas office were able to join Dr. Opal Lee in her annual "Opal's Walk for Freedom", while employees in other locations were invited to participate virtually. (Dr. Lee is long-time activist for making Juneteenth a federal holiday)

Started at a big firm in July with high hopes- in the career path I wanted and I would be joining with other new grads.
After onboarding, it’s as if my team forgets about us every day. The training is non existent, there doesn’t seem to be any initiative to invest in new hires, my manager scolds me for not knowing enough yet gives no direction. I don’t want to waste time (colleagues mentioned it doesn’t get much better from here). Do I embrace the suck or look for other opportunities?

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.
