Should I work a bit during holiday break to get my areas in good shape or just say f this and take time off because audit is going to get done no matter what.

I inherited messy area from a person who recently left the firm and leadership was saying we (as in I) need to put in extra effort to close down review notes that the previous girl left (there’s about 89 open as of now lol)

Absolutely not. Take your time off. The work will get done when it gets done.

If you get it done during your break, they are just gonna give you more work during the audit. Take the PTO

What KPMG 1 said. I have the next two weeks off for the Holiday. Will I maybe get on a couple hours here for there to keep stuff moving with our overseas team/ get my clients in a good spot? Yep! Will I tell anyone I plan to do that? Nope.

If I find the motivation and do it - sweet. But it’s because I willingly wanted to do that, not because I verbalized an expectation

Lol. I always plan to do work and catch up during the long break but never ends up happening.

Take the time off, no doubt. This year is more needed than ever.

You'll never get ahead, however much you work, so you just have to get comfortable with always having a never ending to-do list. That's the job. If you do decide to do some work to make YOUR life easier after the holidays, don't promise it in advance, otherwise it'll just hang over you and it raises expectations.

I inherited a 1st year audit from a guy who left the firm without even glancing a second at the workpapers. On top of that my client is dumb as a rock and doesn’t help me much to understand what’s going on in their own account. But will I work more during this holiday?? NO NO NO NO & NO. I have done that before and refuse to let people walk over me anymore. At the end it’s gonna get done one way or another. Take a break relax and come back with a fresh mind. Your mental well being should be your priory this year.

I am lateraling. My start date is Sept. 7. I was planning on giving my current firm notice on Aug. 2 so my last day would be Aug. 13 and I would have a few weeks off before starting the new gig. Was just perusing the employee handbook of my current firm and found that the separation policy requires at least 4 weeks’ notice. I’ve never heard of this before, and I’m at a loss as to what I should do. I don’t want to lose the time off but don’t want to lose benefits for Aug. either.

I’ve worked at places that all have different holiday policies. EA has at minimum a nice 10 day shutdown from Christmas Eve through New Years. It’s great to know that there will be no slack messages or an exploded inbox to come back to while away.

Advertising isn’t the only field that experiences this type of situation. Most people learn differently from others, still others like myself with ADHD and my grandson on the autism spectrum, we definitely see things and learn things in a different way. We all get to the same place we just take a different route. People need to keep that in mind before placing others on PIPS. Keep the journey in mind and allow the person the luxury of listening, you might learn something.
