Taking a poll: reasonable or unreasonable of me to be frustrated that my company scheduled me for a mandatory 2pm-5pm company culture training session on erev Yom Kippur? Is this something I can call them out on, or is it fair game because it’s not on Yom Kippur itself?

Definitely reasonable. The holiday starts in the evening and 5pm is cutting it close, especially for someone needing to eat a last meal before the fast and make it to services. Do you feel comfortable saying something- asking to do the training another time?

Especially because it's a cultural training.

This is reasonable. They scheduled a group DEI training ON Yom kippur. I asked 2 months ago if they would reschedule and they did not

🤦🏻‍♀️ kind of a dead giveaway that the training itself is BS.

Hello everyone!

Currently looking to jump from Health Care to Pharma/Biotech. Does anyone work at Gilead and can serve as a reference? The current department I’m in, I do not fit the culture as it is a very archaic way of “managing” people. I have about a decade of a variety of work experience, majority in customer service/coordination/administration.

Would love any assistance if possible!

CTC is: PF+ 76185

PF: 2040 so it's getting deducted 2 times same amount every month. Before salary is paid and after.
