Dunno about you, but I like to talk to people in the office about projects.

Look through bills and photos from vacation. Stay close communication with staffer. Reach out to people via emails and send up phone call. Read books and PD. Look for training for the upcoming year.

Working from home on internal initiatives..start new project on Monday. I have no intentions of going into the office this week.

Hello RSM coworkers! I am thrilled to be moving to RSM into a Scheduler roll. I just found out yesterday and want to be as prepared as possible in the next steps.

So here are my questions.

How long does the background study take? I'm guessing admin staff have a study that is faster and less complicated than someone in Tax ect.

When training at home what did you need that wasn't supplied by RSM? My home office is well stocked but I want to be as prepared as possible.

Thanks in advance!

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
