I don’t even want to go to my own. Why would I want to go to anyone else’s?

Is it frowned upon or open game?

Sounds pretty dumb

Are you going with friends? Then that’s game I think

Fair game

Frowned upon? Are we in the Scarlet Letter plot?

Serial holiday party crasher? Also, hi.

Colleague brought a few friends from other firms to after party (being paid for by partners) - it did not go well...he’s not with the firm anymore and at the very least that probably didn’t look good come review time...

Tips for not crying when you’re asking for leave? I’m so stressed and overwhelmed with work and the CPA exam and I want to take time off to just put all my energy into the exam and be done with it. I want a month and a half to finish it up and then have a week or two to decompress before I come back. But anytime I wanna talk about it, the stress and nerves overwhelm me and my eyes start welling up. Idk how to control it.

Hello fishes 🐠🐋🐟,

Please help me out here.... Your input will be really great.

I have herd that currently most of the companies are in hiring freeze. (Holiday season, recession or layoffs).

I am trying to apply job for many companies since last month, and i haven't got any response from any of them.

Are there any Organizations still out there who are hiring/open for referral and are in position to handle recession.

Please comment your thoughts. It might make someone's day.

Thanks.

Feeling really lonely this holiday season and I think it's time for a change. I love my job but I'm realizing I devote too much time to it.

Is there any way to make pretax contributions to a retirement account outside my employer plan if:

Here’s my situation; I left a higher paying consulting position for a lower paying position (better WLB). When I left consulting, I got paid out for my PTO, and I received a signing bonus with my new company. I expect my income will be significantly higher this year than it will be for a while. I know I could … (see comments)

I’m up for promotion this year, and I’ve been working so hard and my feedback is amazing and I’ve wanted this for awhile. Now, an immediate relative is actively dying and I may go out on a short leave, and I also have some PTO planned so that I can visit family oversees later this fall. With all that’s happening, I’m not going to hit my 90% utilization target, which is a checkbox in my promo. (cont).

likehelpful

what difference does 109% vs. 100% utilization make at Year End? Latter basically means you took your PTO, former means you worked every minute of the year (Consulting, S&O)
