Silly question- But Is today a business/working day for most people? I was about to text/email a broker who helped me find an apartment last year but not sure if I’m being inconsiderate considering we’re still in the holiday season. Need help finding a new apartment. Thanks !

How does one tell their boss (owner of the company) that you are burnt out? The sheer volume of work is exhausting and I haven’t taken a true vacation as we are a small company so if something urgent comes to my email I feel like I must respond. I was given an additional title and more responsibilities last year as well but only a 3% raise for it.

SECRET WEAPON: A creative, thoughtful holiday gift is a freelancer’s secret weapon. To say “thanks for all the work”, be grateful and stay top of mind. What are some of best gifts you’ve heard of?

Happy to report: Did not fall into any honey trap at the holiday party.

What’s common PTO wise in big law?

How soon to take time off as first year? And how much?

hi all, hope all is well

i left deloitte risk advisory due to personal reasons in sep 2021 (time off since july 2021) as the work got a bit much and my situation at home was complex.

i applied for a snr consultant role in consulting (strategy & ops, indus. redesign & innov.) and saw my app. got shortlisted. this role looks more suited for me and im super interested in it, more so than my prev. exp at D but you never know haha. whats the process like/how likely will i progress?

Anyone need freelance writing help over the holiday weekend? Sr. or ACD. Not precious about title.

What's the longest vacation you've taken and where did you go? Thinking about capitalizing on my unlimited PTO and want some ideas.

Question for BAH - are you able to expense taxi/uber for after hour safety from your holiday event to home? I know most companies let you and so does Deloitte. Asking for a Booz friend.

Any next week joiners?

If yes, please comment your DOJ as Monday(OCT 24th) is a public holiday.

I’m at 7.5 years of experience and got an offer letter saying 3 weeks of vacation. I’m currently at 5 weeks vacation - are companies typically flexible with this?

hiya fishes. happy friday! sorry if this isnt the right bowl, but this is in regards to vacation time. i have an interview process starting next week, and wondering when it would be good to mention i would be OOO between the middle of the month in september? its for a week. im unsure if i can twist this to have a start date once im back. going back and forth on being transparent vs. mentioning it later on. thoughts?

Thinking about giving my 2 weeks and going industry. Any chance I’ll get paid for my 22 vacation days that I stopped accruing months ago? Offer start date is firm.

Thoughts on a manager texting you to ask why you aren’t online Easter weekend when all of your work is completed and another senior who can’t handle their own work decided to randomly send you their returns to review?

Question for folks with second homes: Considering buying a vacation home but would be primarily for family use. We currently have a primary residence with a mortgage balance of ~640K, so my understanding is I could only deduct the mortgage interest on 110K of the second mortgage to stay under the 750K cap. If I were to buy the second home through an LLC, would that allow me to exceed that 750K since the expenses of the second home would be pass through expenses/income?

If you were in a private company assistant controller position being offered $10k more to switch over to public and much better PTO days and fully remote as opposed to an in office position that I’m currently at in a Real estate growing company. Would u do the switch back to public (left public just recently)?

Bain is hosting holiday party at Joy District Club in Chicago… KPMG needs to step it up…

What are ways to get more vacation time?

I’m feeling a little suffocated with the standard two weeks with all my family events this year.

At a tech company with less than 50 people and $6 M Revenue.

So, recently got put on a PIP after six months at my new job., two days after I told my boss and HR I recently learned I have a cognitive disability caused by an illness. The PIP was mostly because I forgot some deadlines, but also they said I need to be more professional in emails (even though others use zero punctuation and a lot of emojis. To clients.) and simultaneously ask more questions and ask fewer questions. Should I just assume this is unattainable and look for a new job again?
