Well my vacation time is dwindling away and I have not done anything with it but play games and watch TV. Can't seem to get motivated to do anything. I guess there's nothing wrong with that but why do I feel a little guilty about it😆?

Anyone familiar with Covid Supplemental Paid Sick Leave in CA? Does having planned time off nullify a full time employee’s ability to use the C19 sick leave if they become sick just prior to the planned time off? (I’ve only been able to find references to eligibility being based off of hours work preceding C19 sick leave - nothing about planned time off)

Is it a bad sign if the recruiter asks you to send all your PTO plans for the next year prior to signing the offer?

Is it true that AFS doesn’t allow people to start with a positive PTO balance?

Any recommendations on places to stay, visit in Dubai? Holiday family of 4 if that helps. Thank you!

Looking to book a quiet 4-5 day beach vacation in February. Flying from Boston with my sister, who’s never been on a beach vacation before. Which locations would you recommend? Continued.

Amerisourcebergen doesn't care about its employees. We have no mental health awareness. Leadership only promotes people who kiss ass the most qho have no managerial experience and pass people who actually have experience in a manager role. Leadership never helps you with anything. Managers write you up for no reason amd threaton your job constantly. Ive have leasherip threaten my job while on FMLA and write me up for taking too much time off

Any recommendations for a single diver going to Bonaire over the Xmas-new year holiday? I’d like to do a good bit of shore diving but would need a dove buddy.

There will be an annual holiday called OCCUPY WIREHOUSE where every May 18 financial advisors and their clients congregate arm in arm in front of each firm’s home office as a sign of solidarity.

How much stock do you put on benefits? I have two offers with stark differences in benefits. Job 1: role I want, but benefit sucks (2 weeks paternity leave, 20% coinsurance). Job 2: role is okay but higher level and great benefits (16 weeks paternity, 0% coinsurance, 5 more days of vacation). Total comp is the same though. I wonder if I should just focus on role but Job 2 is a large company, so I can move around after 2-3 years I’d expect. Thoughts?

Do you find yourself thinking about ways to improve your lessons as you experience life? I’m on vacation for the first time in 10 years and I keep asking myself “wow, what kind of technology is that?” And “How can I integrate that in my Computer Technology class?”

Hill holiday and Arnold: heard massive layoffs at both places. Is everyone ok?

Vacation almost all on points. Plane and hotel covered. Suggestions for car rental? Not many Enterprise/Hertz points. Ik it's not the best transfer rate, but I have plenty of Chase points.

Living in a ~700 unit rental building with 50+ staff - any suggested holiday tipping? Staff at the building come and go all the time (we just got a whole new wave of doormen in November)

I'm 6 months old at D! Planning early promotion next year.. counselor and pm both are backing me.. I need to go to India for at least 4 weeks in Dec ... most probably would be rolling off from current project by then .. would this vacation hurt my promotion chances coz of utilization etc?

For all you retail people...are you experiencing a very slow holiday season? I am a retail manager and I feel like this season has been freakishly slow. I thought we would at least match last year's number or be up a little bit but we are trending down. I talked to employees of other stores in the mall and they are saying the same thing. Is anyone else experiencing this in their market?

If buy the partners you work with regularly a holiday gift, how much do you spend? Usually I get baked goods or food items which you can’t tell the actual amount spent on. This year, though, I’d like to support local restaurants by encouraging people to order takeout—hence, giving gift cards.

How much is appropriate for a restaurant gift card from an associate to a partner?

Has anyone considered making the move to the corporate world? I work in admin for my nonprofit right now so I make a decent amount (53k) my benefits are unbeatable. PTO & sick time PLUS self care days. Flexibility. Etc. the one thing we’re lacking is structure and honestly im burnt out and overwhelmed with my work load and I know I could be getting paid around 10-15k more for similar work. Anyone gone to corporate and regretted it? Loved it?

Anyone frustrated by needing to take vacation days off for Jewish holidays?

Hey guys, could someone please help me in sharing some detailed insights on interview Q&As for L2 Event Builders profile?
URGENT (The interview is tomorrow).

I have started my career in backend web development. (NodeJS)
It's been one year.
So far I like what I'm doing.
However I hear so many stories of how people in cloud , ML or data science earn huge packages.
So, to survive or earn well, should I consider switching to any of these ?
If possible could you help me with what to learn and any resources for that ?

Can anyone give me freelancing opportunity in data analytics?

Moving to Kuala Lumpur or Seoul? I have to make this choice soon. It’s relatively early in my career so it’ll be good to hear from someone with more experience. I’m partial towards either!

Is it true that AFS doesn’t allow people to start with a positive PTO balance?

How do you establish a good marketing function for a product team? If you have examples of startups that have done this well, that would be very helpful.

Any Boston weekend activity recommendations? Just moved here for school and looking for ideas!

I feel like we’re changing tools on every engagement and I’m always burning through trainings trying to master one only to keep it swapped for something else. Any recommendations for books/trainings to help my understanding of the underlying methods of data science instead of just learning the tools?

5 years post-MBA and all my classmates are VPs in industry or Principals in consulting/IB (some are even Partners/MDs already). I sat in the same classes with these folks for 2 years — probably outperformed some of them academically. Yet, here I am continuing to struggle with my student debt payments, hoping that “Uncle Joe” forgives 20% of it. I’ll never have that kind of earning potential because I didn’t come from the “right background” pre-MBA.

Can someone confirm for me that suicidal thoughts are not normal? I’ve been dealing with it’s this (ideation but not intent) for as long as I can remember and honestly just assumed (cont)

I see a lot of people who have crippling anxiety here work out to feel better. My crippling anxiety kind of paralysis my legs (or at least feels like it to the point that I can’t even walk). Does anyone have similar symptoms and solution for it?
I am in therapy right now but just wanted to hear from someone who is also going through it

I can’t anymore I can’t 😭

Opinions on AbleTo?

Anyone here being prescribed strattera for ADHD? I got diagnosed today and wanted to hear about your experiences.

What’s the thought that keeps you from giving up?

Any advice on how to request accommodations for depression and/or anxiety? What documents did you need and what kinds of accommodations did you ask for/receive?

When it comes to therapy do I look up a place online and make an appointment or do I need some sort of referral? Not sure if I need to see a therapist or physiatrist really.

What has helped you overcome social anxiety?

What would you do if you didn’t need money? I have a fair amount coming one day and don’t actually need to work to live a good life (middle / upper-middle class). I work because of this vague notion of “ambition” and because everyone I grew up around is highly competitive and hard driving. I just feel unhappy so often and am wondering what this is all leading to. Scared I’m wasting my life being unhappy / in turmoil cause it’s what my culture wants me to do.

I’ve been depressed for years now and this past week I lost a dog I’ve had for 15 years; he was one of the only bright spots in my life and I’ve just found it so hard to focus or motivate myself on anything after this. I genuinely feel like I’m at rock bottom, Idk if I’m crazy to feel that way bc of a dog but I used to be able to control this and put up a front but now my depression and anxiety are starting to leak into my work conversations completely unintentionally, I wish this would stop :(

Potentially at an all time low - personally, professionally and emotionally. I have to believe that life’s inflection points happen for a reason. There’s a bigger lesson for me around this corner...

What “self help” books are you guys reading? I just read Untamed by Glennon Doyle and wow, I want to start from the beginning again, but feel like I should read something else. Would love any suggestions.

This is super weird but I feel like I can’t relate easily to people. Hear me out - I moved and lived in different continents, countries every 5 years or so until now… I feel like I’m an outlier and my life is super different from anyone else’s. I have some friends I’ve met at each stage of my life, but it’s been temporary. I feel like I’m always going in a different direction than others. It makes it difficult to have a stable life and close friends..

During the pandemic I dove into my self care (found a therapist, learned I was having seizures and got on meds for that). My journey has been difficult and not pretty to watch. Somewhere along the line I feel like my fiancé saw too much. I no longer feel like romantic parters and instead feel like we have a “caretaker/patient” type relationship. I don’t feel sexy or attractive anymore. I talked to him about this and he feels bad. But I feel guilty for bringing it up. Anyone else had this issue?

I just started taking mirtazapine again b/c depression has completely taken over my life.

Not looking forward to the weight gain 😕

I was prescribed Lexapro by my doctor. For anyone who has taken it, can you speak to your experience with this medication? What impact has it had on your day to day life?

My mom and dad are separating (bad terms) and not speaking, but my mom asks me about him everyday. She knows I don’t want to talk to him or about him, but continues to bring it up everyday.. I’ve resorted to silence or not responding because I always end up being the bad guy when I get annoyed or don’t want to discuss it. Am I wrong here?

How do I find a therapist? I feel like it’s time. I’m tired of feeling anxious and getting worked up by the smallest QA comments.
