Sometimes I wish we had at least one stat holiday every week, and that I was scheduled for it. Stats are honestly the reason my paycheck looks decent with barely any work. Our department does not work on holidays and we do just 3 hours of work at the back end such as filing some cases and and still get paid for the full eight hours. It feels like easy earned money. Isn't it?

Are you the kind of person who actually likes working on holidays?

A partner just walked from his office. By passed 4 or 5 people who are generally more knowledgeable on our banking logistics straight to the only black support staff employee to@ask if today is a bank holiday.

When your manager decides to take PTO right before the holidays / project deadlines and leaves you to do their work (which they didn’t do) as well as your own.

How are you all feeling about going into the holiday season while being remote? Missing the company holiday parties, or happy to be able to do your own thing?

The firm I work for is not closing for the hurricane. Staff were told to work from home or take PTO if they could not come in to the office (and the building is now closed until Friday). Is this normal?!

Best place for holiday office parties?

Starting with our very first IVF cycle this week and kinda nervous 🤞
Nurse says retrieval to happen tentatively around 18th Dec but then transfer can take place in early February too considering genetic testing takes weeks. Is this the norm? Just fearing the team is not unnecessarily delaying things owing to holiday break.

Hi all, I’m gonna join pwc ac Bangalore next month. I need your help In knowing the holiday calendar or holidays available in last week of December I.e in between Dec 25th to Dec 31st. To plan my vacation. Please help

Hi everyone, I’m interested in joining Slalom as I’m doing interviews I was wondering what are the benefits, PTO, normal hours, dress code over there?
Thanks

Does anyone work for Children’s medical center of Dallas on this form ? I know we recently had a “employee appreciation” bonus last month before Thanksgiving but not sure if that counts as one whole holiday bonus including Christmas , or it it’s safe to expect another in mid December ? What seems to be the latter in the past ? Any thoughts are appreciated !

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

Curious how other companies are position their 2023 December holiday calendar.

Christmas falls on a Monday next year. Is your company observing the Friday before (22nd) as eve? Or are they observing the 26th as day after?

Finally hit my breaking point. Been nothing but irritable & pissed off these past few weeks. Coach asked me on Friday when I’ll be taking time off & I just broke down. I’m a top performer & a workhorse. I’ve put so much effort into making sure my team is okay I forgot about myself. Now I am buried in work, performance is dropping & I can’t stop crying randomly. I kept telling people I am drowning but no one was listening. Coach is leaning to tell everyone to backoff thankfully.

Need help deciding on a location for my family's vacation. It would be my family and my brother's family (4 adults&3kids). I am thinking PR, Mexico or Hawaii. What do you guys recommend? Open to other kid friendly beach locations as well. TIA

Vacation ideas for Thanksgiving? Six of us (ages 25 to 60) and everyone’s vaccinated. Thought about going to the Caribbean but I guess it’s the wet/hurricane season at that time. We’d be traveling from LA and Chicago and it’s only for a week if that helps. Any places you’ve enjoyed during late November?

Hi All- I’d love to hear from the community what the focus areas are for Tier 2 firms in the region Are there certain sectors the various firms specialize/ focus on? It seems like everyone focuses on public sector and tmt. Currently interviewing at a few and would be great to get some feedback. Thanks!

If your employer mandated you need to come in 5 days a week would you consider quitting? My situation is I live in my geographical territory and the office is 45 minutes away. No performance issues at quota consistently.

Lately, I've been hearing a lot from my peers about how sales isn't a real profession.
I work at a tech startup and it mostly comprises developers. They can't stop emphasizing their importance in the food chain and I can't figure if I'm too humble or they're too arrogant.
This yapping comes from people I've known since college. I have successfully blocked all such negativity but wanted to know if anyone here has faced such scenarios.
P.S: I've already accepted an offer above my expectations

Which one is better to join
Natwest Group or Delotte usi ? Both are offering similar salary .

Hi Guys I was a BA and recently became a full fledge PO in my new job. Can you share which areas to focus on to perform well.

Just received 2 offers that I’m weighing, both in Advertising tech:
1. Smaller firm about to be acquired by a larger one, Product Marketing role (title would be Sr. PMM)
2. FAANG, Sales Account Manager role (similar to my current role)
I have 5-6 YOE and have been in an Account Management role for most of my career - is it worth making the switch to PMM at a smaller firm or sticking with what I know at a FAANG? Both would have relatively similar comp. Thanks in advance for your input!

I got H1B visa and 83K USD petition amount as annual package. Here I and my wife both are working and earning 50LPA together. My 7 yr old daughter and my wife will be on H4 Visa and she won't be able to work initially. I am confused whether I should opt for US or stay here only. Thoughts? Suggestions?

Sponsored folks, where do you plan to intern during bschool?

What is the salary hike you aim for when negotiating compensation with a new company? I’ve talked to a few and ultimately passed because none of them are meeting the 30% increase I’m looking for. Are companies already starting to be stingy again or am I looking in the wrong place?

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…

For better salary transparency - Any calibration folks care to share their industries/positions/salaries/locations? I’ll start: 9 YOE - current position is calibration technician for a medium sized biomed company in the Northeastern US. Roughly 130k total comp.

Needing some likes to DM. Thanks everyone! 🙏🏼

People seem to just want to hook-up but never date. I seem to always start falling for my hook-ups after a while. What am I doing wrong? Live in NYC.
