Have an interesting scenario. Holiday party season is approaching. At one of our parties (during working hours) there is an optional “talent show.” Employees can win door prizes. We have an entry that is a religious song - like one you would sing in church. I assume we need to let this employee perform this - or we are setting ourselves up for trouble. Likewise, if we permit this song, I assume we cannot compel attendance to the talent show. The talent show is part of a lunch thing.

The corporate urge to not even set an out of office email because I know I will be checking emails all holiday anyways

What are some easy to make, low stress holiday meals for a school holiday staff party? I was "volunteered" by our principal to set it up this year (🙄). I'm making decorated sugar cookies but kind of drawing a blank when it comes to savory dishes. Bonus points if you have any adult holiday themed games or fun drinks to suggest! It's off school property and there will be a bar (thank god), for context.

People who are single/live alone, how much a week do you spend on groceries, food, and alcohol? I feel like I average around the $100 mark and not sure if that’s reasonable.

When the senior who you thought was your buddy throws you under the bus to make himself look like manager material. This is like high-school all over again.

My utilization is 90% but all of my clients are small jobs. Does that look worse than someone who works on the larger, higher revenue generating jobs with all else equal (utilization/performance)?

I feel like nobody is really paying attention to me, when I do good or when I’m not doing so good really. I don’t know if the lack of oversight just happens once you become a senior? Idk.
