Since we're headed towards cold weather and the holiday season, let's talk about how we can take care of ourselves during the fall/winter and beyond. For example, I'm buying a sun lamp because it's about to be 50 degrees and raining for 6 months 🤦🏻‍♀️.

Any recommendations on places to stay, visit in Dubai? Holiday family of 4 if that helps. Thank you!

Anybody ever regret moving from B4 to a start up? Just because there’s so many less perks (lots of PTO, fun events, etc)?

On vacation and hallucinating the Slack ping sound anytime it gets quiet.

If you take vacation, is the onus on you to make up that billable time? If so, how do you enjoy long vacations?

Is your firm treating 12/26 and 12/27 as firm holiday since the 24th and the 25th are during the weekend this year? Of course client demands would dictate whether people will be working, but curious what the official policy is. For what it’s worth, my firm treated the day after thanksgiving as holiday and I didn’t have to work for the whole day.

Morning! Being laid off sux, I been down this road 5x in my career it never bets easier.

Dust off contacts and make your rounds
* if you’re in a good position to take time off do some, seems we all need a mental break anyway

So who is offering to host the holiday party?

Just had to go to thesaurus dot com to look up synonyms for “exciting”. I think I need a vacation….

What is a good conversation value for IHG / holiday inn points ? Is “13k points for $100 room rate “ a good deal ?

I have chronic health issues and I’m severely depressed. I can’t even get myself to work anymore. If I don’t quit, I’m in serious danger of being fired. I feel that I need to just quit and take time off to get better but feel that it will be a stain on my career. I’m a pretty junior lawyer. Any advice. I just can’t do any work at all and I’m my anxiety and depression is spiraling out of control. I see a therapist I try to cope and it’s not working.

Hello, I have accepted an offer at a competitor company and sent in my resignation letter. My start date is 5 weeks from now so I put in my end date 4 weeks from date letter was signed. The manager said I had to leave the job in 2 days and the company can only play 2 weeks of work. Is it normal how they do that?

🎄How do you plan to recharge over the holiday break?

How much time does ADP takes to come back after document submission on portal for HR discussion.

I was told today that too many of my students were failing and to make it so over half of them are passing by the end of the year. Have you had to do this? What did you do?

I finally was able to convince my principal that we need a consistent math intervention at the MS level (grades 5-8). (Right now, we are just "doing our own thing," which isn't helping students progress much.) Does anyone have any suggestions? It would be beneficial to have some sort of progress monitoring tool as part of the program, if possible. Our classes run roughly 55 minutes (which is too long for an intervention, in my humble opinion).

Thanks for any advice.

Salaam, unsure if this is the right bowl, but does anyone have any recommendations on books that discuss the history of Pakistan? It’s formation, etc. Thanks

What is LPA location premium allowance mentioned in offer letter?? Is it variable part which we get end of year? Or will it be part of monthly salary?

General Question!
According to the new Wage Rules, are companies giving Basic Salary as 50% of fixed Pay? Should we ask HR of our current company or the next company to actually do the same? Or the rule isn't a mandate and it's upon companies to follow it ?

Hi! I’m scheduling a screening phone interview for a senior marketing manager position and I’m wondering what my salary expectations should be? 6 years experience & nyc based. Any insight here would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hey Guys,

How is it like working for Goldman Sachs? Currently interviewing with them for SR cybersecurity architect.

Any salary expectations I should be aware of?

Thanks

Has anyone used fundrise? What are your thoughts? Is it worth checking out?

What do you guys think about apps like BetterHelp and Talkspace? I understand they might have real therapists working on their content, but a lot of the marketing I see is so vague and broad that it feels like a lie. Seems like "This app got rid of my anxiety with a 30-minute automated text questionnaire" is the new "This tea made me lose 20 pounds in two weeks!" Just seems a little fad-like and money grabby to me. Thoughts?

What is a good hourly amount to ask for as a PRN social worker/therapist in the DC area?

I accepted a job at a oncology outpatient clinic last week! What can I expect?

Any other lonely social workers in here? I mean a lot to some of the people on my caseload but that's about it. Don't have any family near me and it's hard to make friends with non-SW's mostly just because I'm too tired after work to want to do much. Do you spend most of your time alone or is your social time self care for you? Just feel like I don't have a support system!

Hey there! really need a change in pace from being in higher levels of care, and am wanting to go part-time with my company and private practice, but I want to buy a house in the next year and am worried about finances. Can anyone speak to the hardships or successes or a counseling of practice and/or buying a home shortly after starting one? I feel trapped in my current job because I’m worried the timing isn’t right.

What are some good opportunities for growth as a social worker? I've been in the same role for close to ten years, and while I love it, I know I can branch out a bit and probably even increase my salary. What have you all done?

I'm currently making 45k with 10 yoe in a MCOL city. I took this job just to tide me over during the pandemic. I really need to change my situation, but I'm wondering what a reasonable salary to look for is?

LCSW 50k loan repayment- Has anyone been granted a contract through the National Health Service Corps Loan Repayment Program? I’m interested in applying for the 2 years of full time work as an LCSW but my loans are a bit under 50k so I’m wondering if they would only give me what I need to clear my loans or would I still get 50k as long as I complete my contract ?

What do you think a social worker with 8 years of experience should be making in Santa Barbara, CA? I make like 50k a year and I feel like I could potentially be making more if I leave my current job. Just want to know for sure before I start looking since it's a risky time to be leaving work. TIA.

Hello, I’m an LMSW in Michigan. I have 15 years of experience in the field as a clinician, supervisor, and an administrator. I am feeling burnt out and unsure of my future. I have worked mainly in the Community Mental Health and the VA Health systems, hence my fatigue. I’ve flirted with private practice work in the past, but my spouse has been worried about not having affordable healthcare and benefits that each system provides. Is it worth the jump? Am I overthinking things?

Has anyone here written a book or pursued other avenues of translating their skills and experience into income? Maybe an online course?

Is anyone in any outreach coordinator positions? What is the pay like? I’m seeing $40,000 mark?

So I made this bowl awhile ago and I honestly haven’t been on the app in a minute and I’m so happy to see so many people utilizing this!!! I hope you all take time for yourselves and know that you do incredible work every day that is so under-appreciated. On a side note going along with under-appreciated and underpaid: does anyone have suggestions for a side hustle? I need to make more money and I work from home full-time so time commitment isn’t an issue. Thanks I’m advance!

Hi everyone HELP! I was lucky enough to receive two job offers, one in SNF/LTC one in oncology outpatient setting. Looking for any tips from people that have worked in either setting or both??
Some background I am coming from a inpatient hospital setting. Thank you!

Any recommendations on a good side hustle or part time job? Trying to buy a house (yes I know the economy sucks right now) and it’s been tough saving with a SW salary.
