Thoughts on Laco? Looking for a basic aviator with a decent moment (Sellita in this case) and enough water resistance to wear at the pool, on vacation, etc. Haven't seen many posts on Laco here and search didn't turn up much. They seem to fit the bill but I've never seen one in person.

Are there any fun holiday pop-up bars this weekend? I would love a reason to wear my ugly sweater!!

How do you survive on a PhD stipend knowing it’ll be years before you can afford luxuries like a vacation or brand-name ice cream?

Do you delete work email app when gone for vacation?

I’m heading into a final interview next week. The role I’m applying to works directly with two executive team members and the CEO (the only hybrid employees). I currently work in a fully remote company and already have two trips planned for later this year where it’s too long to ask for PTO in its entirety because I was planning to work/PTO combo. Any tips or recommendations how I can lay out a plan without asking for a LOA and adversely affect the team and work remotely when starting the role?

Any United health group remote employees here? I recently accepted an accounting job and some of the onboard makes it seem like I’m only allowed to work from my home office. I usually spend a few weeks a year out of town visiting family and work during this time so I don’t have to use PTO but I’m nervous I won’t be allowed to do that anymore

When first year associate gives work to senior..."can you do whatever you asked me to do 2 weeks ago? I gotta run to catch a flight for vacation"

How much do you spend on your manager’s holiday gift?

I have so much anxiety about money that I can’t even think about it.

Married, 2 kids, dual income.

Home equity: $200k
Gross annual HHI: 234k.
401k: ~60k
Emergency: $12k
Savings: 20k
Debt: One low-interest car payment

We just spent 60k on a lot down payment with the dream of building in a few years.

We don’t budget at all. And we don’t do anything else with our money - like investing in the market.

We just went on in 3.5k family vacation and I feel so guilty about it.

Anyone here know how to book holiday homes as per TCS policy ?

Anyone get a verbal offer where the hiring manager tells you they will be sending a formal offer letter, but be patient. No details on compensation, benefits, PTO, etc shared at all. It’s been a week and I’m still waiting. Not sure if this is an ominous sign.

I’m getting married in two weeks and going on my honeymoon the week after. I’m starting to worry so much about everything that could go wrong and derail everything, one of our parents getting sick, my fiancé or I getting sick so that we can’t enjoy this wonderful life moment. I’m so nervous that something will happen. Anyone else go through this pre-wedding anxiety or pre-vacation anxiety? Need some soothing words I can repeat to myself. Thanks!

Asking for some advice on an offer received… my current company base gives me 112k, 9 holidays, 20 pto days, 6% match on 401k and employee share purchase plan, individual bonus up to 8.5%. The new offer received is as follows: 110k base, 11 holidays, unlimited pto days, 25k in RSUs vested 100% after 4 years, no 401k match, annual performance bonus up to 7.5% with possibility to exceed it, basic medical, dental, vision plan covered by company. Thoughts on if the external offer sounds competitive?

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?

My bf took a guys trip to Caribbean to celebrate a good friend of 20+ year’s milestone bday. The friend’s bday is the day before mine. Normally bf and I trip for my bday over the holiday weekend. Bf will be back for my actual bday, and we’re taking a domestic trip next weekend. That said, I still feel a little miffed that we’re not spending this weekend together like normal. Are my feelings unreasonable?

How many PTO/Vacation days do you usually take off a year if your employer offers unlimited PTO/Vacation days?

I just started a new job and this is the first time I’ve ran into this. It sounds nice but at the same time I hate the lack of direction. Help!

Is it an expectation for first years to not take time off?

I would like to take advantage of our unlimited PTO but afraid to start the year bottom of the rankings. Is It typically slow at the beginning of the year?

Recent law grad here, looking for a firm job. Can others share what I should be looking for in a compensation package nowadays? What's typical and what's not? (e.g. 401k match, health/dental/vision, paid time off, vacation). And how does that change based on: small firm, midsize firm, big firm? Thanks in advance!

I wasn’t sure which bowl to solicit advice from so hoping to catch a bite here. I’m currently in ID. Of course, I want OUT! My interests are L&E and corporate. My options are 1) wait it out where I am in hopes to switch to L&E or 2) in house oil and gas industry transactional work. What would you do and why? I figured this bowl being specific to Texas would understand importance of oil and gas industry.

Thoughts on homage watches? Any brands you recommend?

Buying a luxury watch for the first time, are there any recommended stores I could order online from? Maybe stores that can offer discounts as well. Thank you.

A friend got the call to pick up this Rolex Daytona rosegold with diamonds on the black dial, on oysterflex (pic below). He already has a Daytona (ordered both of them at the same time a few months ago) and has no real use for this second one. He offered it to me at retail and said I can try it if I want to keep it or if I do not I can sell it and we share the little profit 50:50. What would you do?

How do we feel about replicas of luxury watches ?
