staffed on project that ends 11/21. I haven’t traveled overseas to see my grandparents in 13 years, so I’m finally trying to go right after Thanksgiving — and the engagement partner basically said, “If you take 2 weeks off, I won’t reject it, but I’ll roll you off.”

tough luck. it takes 2–3 days just to adjust over there, so a week trip isn’t realistic. im curious — what would you do? tbh, rather get rolled off and spend real time w fam during Nov/Dec, but would that really tank my career?

This Partner will likely not be part of stories and photos you tell/show to your kids, but your grandparents will be. Keep the PTO.

Do it. You will always get another project. Don’t let one partner mess with your family time, especially grandparents.

Deserved time-off. If you like the project, let them know if they still have a need in the new year , you would be happy to help. Don’t burn bridges, but do what is right for you…

Wouldn’t work with such partners who don’t respect time off. If he needs you, he will approve the PTO approval. If he doesn’t need you, he will eventually roll you off regardless of your travel plan

Not getting it. You are planning your trip after BF project is ending, what’s there to roll off ? Plus you are planning during a lean period. What am I missing ?

it’s a pilot phase so partner expects it to bleed thru thanksgiving and 1-2 additional weeks potentially. then also might end up turning into 6 month engagement rather than just the current scheduled 10 weeks

Take the time off! I’m in a similar boat as you. Had my PTOs left and taking the entire 4 weeks off. I am rolling off from my engagement this week and will be back by Thanksgiving but was told to find a new project. Nothing comes close to spending time with Family, especially grandparents!

Guys, need one quick suggestion -

28th Jan(after 2 days) is my joining date in one of the organisation.. meanwhile I get a call from one of captive company for final managerial discussion scheduled for today itself.
I doubt they can release offer in just 2 days if all good, having said that tomorrow is holiday.
Ques- should I tell after 2 days I have to join one of organization. Or can I tell, still I am with current organisation and serving np, probably 60 days left and wait for their offer..

Any craft beer brewers here?

In the last two year I’ve gotten more and more into alcohol free beer. The selection in my country (Europe) is still small and mainly driven by the big brands (e.g. Heineken).

Any thoughts on that idea or someone who has experience in the market?
