Amelia Island or St Augustine Beach both not too far from JAX, stuff for families to do, you can spend a lot or not too much. Kiawah is great and close to Charleston for day trips but not much for kids out there except beaches

NC resident here. Agree with BCG1. HH is a great family spot. My family has stayed at the Marriott Barony Beach which was very nice with the kids. It makes everything easier not having to go off property very often. If you want a really slow paced vacation that is way off the beaten path I would throw Ocracoke Island, NC into the mix. Logistically that might not work for you (you need a four wheel drive to access the beach) but that is my family’s absolute favorite.

Kiawah and HH are great. I’m from NC and partial to their beaches. My favorite is Bald Head Island. Cars are forbidden. You park and take a ferry over. Each house / hotel room gets a golf cart. It’s transporting

Haha @BCG1 I was a luggage jockey for the BHI ferry on the mainland side summers when I was in college. Agreed it is a lovely spot. HH is great, too!

A lot of good choices. What kind of vacation are you looking for? Lots of stuff to do or a more laid back quiet vacay?

Would appreciate thoughts on places to go over kids’ fall break. 3 kids, no points (I don’t travel) so not looking for luxury hotels. Currently looking at Kiawah or Hilton Head in SC, or maybe Sanibel FL, with Miami as a wild card. Thoughts / experiences on the above, or anything better I’ve missed?

Thanks! Mostly laid back beach but with options for other stuff - hiking, parks, maybe a charter boat or something

Jekyll or St. Simon's Island, GA Airbnb

Treasure Island or Englewood/Boca Grande - great, laid back Florida beach locations with plenty to do

So, how many days left before you start the holiday seasons? What are your biggest priorities for the new year?

How are you all feeling about going into the holiday season while being remote? Missing the company holiday parties, or happy to be able to do your own thing?

Have an interesting scenario. Holiday party season is approaching. At one of our parties (during working hours) there is an optional “talent show.” Employees can win door prizes. We have an entry that is a religious song - like one you would sing in church. I assume we need to let this employee perform this - or we are setting ourselves up for trouble. Likewise, if we permit this song, I assume we cannot compel attendance to the talent show. The talent show is part of a lunch thing.

Considering a move to NTT Data in a healthcare consulting role. Mixed reviews in the bowls. Major concerns are bench policy, staff aug roles, 2 week PTO, and high turnover due to job dissatisfaction. Recruiter and mgr had great things to say around growth and opportunity, which doesn’t align with feedback from the bowls or Glassdoor.
Understanding things have changed there in the last few months, I need un-biased advice from fellow fish who have recently joined or can speak to recent changes

Had an offer for 30% more , a promotion to manager, extra week of vacation to switch firms. I love where I am at with my clients and there is a lot of potential there. Should I stay the course?

Are we getting paid tomorrow since it’s a holiday weekend? I believe Juneteenth weekend we got paid on a Friday even though pay day was Tuesday
