So, for the next two weeks we may be distracted by the news coming from Italy and how many medals the American athletes will win during the Winter Olympics. I have always enjoyed watching certain events every time.

Since there's a time difference, I suppose I could read the results when I get up in the morning, but that's not as fun. If you had an opportunity to experience the Olympics in person, would you be willing to burn 2 weeks of PTO?

I tried counting my calories while on this trip. My lunch was basically my whole day’s worth of calories and I barely finished 2/3rd of it 🙃 man I HATE calorie counting. Why is weight loss so dependent on it 😭 whatever I’m just gonna enjoy this vacation and suffer the consequences. Plus side is at least we’re hiking/walking a lot.

Is it bad to be over-utilized? I just did the math and I could charge zero hours this week and take a 3 week vacation after and still be 100% utilized? Is that abnormal?

Luggage delay claim question

I used Chase explorer to buy tickets for my vacation and luggages were delayed for a month. Per chase term I am entitled $100 a day for 3 days. But the claim agency chase used has been asking for airlines response, which has not came (2month+ now). I am concerned insurance will use this as an excuse to never compensate. Is there a good way to handle this situation?
TIA

I am so beyond ready to leave my current job, but can’t yet, since bonuses are paid out in January. 😬

In the meantime, I’ve applied to a lot of similar roles (slightly higher) but have not heard - good or bad - from any. Is it common for companies to slow down hiring in December because of Q4 rush, people on holiday, etc.?

How VISA in terms of flexibility and work Internationally on remote, do they allow to work from India during the holiday travel?

Been dating for a little over a year, but she hasn’t introduced me to her family yet. I don’t have any plans for thanksgiving this year, and she didn’t invite me to spend the holiday with her family (local). Is it still too early or is it a red flag?

So who is offering to host the holiday party?

hi all, hope all is well

Hi everyone! Does anyone know if Morgan Stanley pay for the unused vacation days when you leave the firm (Location NYC)? Thanks in advance!

Anyone from ACN asked to take a week of vacation in June? I was asked to but the friends I checked with we’re not; afraid I’m being prepped to exit.

Buckle up everyone, the holiday season has officially started. Time for endless carols and overplayed Christmas songs on the speakers all day long 😑

Does Oracle have holiday shutdown?

Is 7-10 days enough notice to take a single day of PTO? Assume you’re fine to arrange coverage etc.

Have you felt the below, how did you overcome (apart from leaving!) Exhausted or demotivated, took a vacation to come back fresh. But post joining did not find work interesting anymore. All seems to boring and losing interest

Do you drink at holiday parties? This is the first company I've worked for that does a real holiday party and I'm kind of anxious about letting my guard down around my co-workers like that...

Hey,
I’m looking to be referred to a company with unlimited Pto and I can travel while I am working preferably internationally. I have a background primarily in banking and I am bilingual. Entry level would be great also and starting if possible over 60k a year. ?

Hi fishes, Will it be okay to quit in probation period like within 3 months if we get a better opportunity? What are the factors to be considered before making any decision.

I am feeling hopeless. I’m a tax senior been through 4 busy seasons with Deloitte. The tax I’m in is pretty niche and I kinda wanna leave tax all together since I wanna start a family and personally can’t do it with another busy season. I don’t know who is willing to hire me because I feel pigeonholed. I’m just hating every moment with this firm right now. Any advice on what positions/companies might be best to look into?

Thanks everyone.

If two of you 🐠 can connect on here and plan a date within the next few days...I’ll pay! Cutest idea I get in my DMs wins!

Recently divorced after 10+ yrs (40M, Denver)... Starting to figure out dating again. What age difference is it too cringe to try to date?... 10 yrs younger ok? If you're low 30'sF us a 40M in play?

Has anyone ever been in a mostly platonic relationship? I don’t like to label myself much, but I don’t really like intimacy and don’t really like romance. Some people would say I’m asexual/aromantic, but unless that too is a spectrum, I don’t think I fit squarely into that group. As I get older, I’m realizing I’m feeling very lonely. It would be nice to find someone, but have it be platonic (any gender/sex). It’s weird, I know. It’s hard to articulate as well. Can anyone relate? 😭😭

Any Knowledge Attorneys or Professional Support Attorneys out there? Or know any? Wondering if it would be a good life choice. (I like the sound of it from the little I’ve found.)

Help. My AD left and we're still looking for a replacement. My AAE was promoted to AE prematurely in light of the departure. Now we're having serious problems.

Alright y’all.. I started a new job about 3 months ago and I have basically hit the ground running. I’m kind of new to my industry (SEO) and my team is INCREDIBLY smart! continued...

I’ve been doing ID for about 2 years now. Mostly slip and fall and WC work. Long-term, I want to move out of ID. I’m currently interviewing at a firm that does ID, but mostly does insurance coverage opinions. They also do some more complex ID, such as L&E.

With the ultimate goal of moving completely out of ID, would this be seen as a step up? I appreciate any and all feedback. TIA

I woke up today tired.

My work cell was buzzing and then I remembered something.

I forgot to thank the bus driver that dropped me off a few days ago.

I got up and rushed downstairs to find the bus driver.

It was raining outside but I was already running barefoot to the bus stop.

I stood there soaked in my pajamas as the bus approached.

Then, the door opened. The driver got up and shook my hand.

I sat down and started my shift.

I’m the bus driver. Reminder to love and thank yourself.

The job I’ve been interviewing for told my recruiter they wanted to give me an offer, but needed a reference first. I’m not sure who to ask since then Deloitte would know I’m looking. Should (cont)

Is there a separate team for handling corporate NPA clients in Axis bank

I currently make 78k at Lockheed but I’m not doing what I’d like to be doing and i felt stuck and after many conversations with my manager and no solution in sight, I started applying elsewhere. I just recently got an offer from a smaller AI company for 95k that I plan to accept. I’m happy to make the jump, I just don’t know how my manager/coworkers will react when I tell them I’m leaving.

What is the salary as per market for 5. 5 years testing experience including funtinal and 3 years automation experience?
