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)

I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

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.

I do sales for a major engineering firm. Focused on new business and exploring new markets. Last year I was in the top 50% for order intake, and first in number of projects won along with number of new customers. I think this is extraordinary given the effort it takes to win new business.

For next year my goal increased by 2.5X, and less of what I bring in counts towards that target. I really enjoy my job but I will essentially be getting a large pay cut. Lost in what to do besides quit??
