Senior Manager won't let anyone take PTO from 12/27-12/30...but he is taking it. Bad leadership, or just perks of being the boss?

Bad leadership

My managers have always said they wouldn't ask us to sacrifice anything they wouldn't also. Sounds like really bad leadership.

Had a project where the SM committed us to travel M-F while SM continued to leave on Thursdays. Vowed never to work with that person again. Definitely bad leadership

So... slippery slope. I want to leave earlier on Thursday (have to fly further) - wrong of me to ask a member of my team to stay late to ensure client presence? (Live closer) Would pose it as "if you can't I will, but this would be nice" type question.

Londoners what is your agency pregnancy leave policy? At ours the current procedure for women is: less than 3 years of employment 6 weeks full pay and 12 weeks 50%. 3+ years you get 12 weeks full and

Misled on Maternity Leave Policy. I found out I only get 4 weeks pay for maternity leave (STD +“sick days”). I will take 12 weeks but wont get paid for 8 weeks. I work for a US, west coast based company in the tech/VC industry. Their website claims to offer “paid parental leave and other progressive benefits for parents”. I didn’t find out until after I was hired their pay was only 8 weeks but since I have been at the company less than 12 months, I don’t qualify for their policy. Is this unfair?

Hi lady fish,

I’ve been with Accenture for 10 years and am about to take maternal leave. I got an interesting conversation with HR yesterday about leaving Accenture after maternal leave, and the kicker is to join the client. I got a couple of questions for you guys:

One...did anyone leave Accenture right after maternal leave? If so, what happened? Did they have to pay back anything?

Anyone hiring those who have been out of work for a year? I took time off to tend to personal matters, but I am now looking to get back into the workforce again. My previous experience includes time at B4 audit up to senior level and then transitioned to manager in industry. Senior/manager roles are preferred.

I don’t mind audit. However, I’d prefer it not to be at a B4, as I am looking for some semblance of a work life balance.

DM me if you have something above, thanks.
