As an associate, how long should you wait after lateraling to a new firm before you take a vacation?

Thoughts on unlimited PTO?

I’m hearing about so many company holiday parties. We’ve never had one and it makes me so bummed out! Is it just my group/dept? Do any of you oracle peeps have a holiday party??

The air turns crisp. Leaves flutter to the ground. The industry turns away from User-Generated Content of influencers poolside, to Holiday Lottery Comedy campaigns.

Please share IQVIA holiday calendar.
Need to plan holidays and functions to attend before joining.

Does anybody have ideas on how to use 2 weeks of vacation during covid? Can’t visit family without international travel, most friends are with their family/SOs and social distancing. Pto is expiring so it’s use it or lose it. Im in NYC. Thank you!

Hello, let’s talk about salary… I am curious. I am an EA/OM and Human Resources coordinator (New hire onboarding/off boarding mainly). My company is in the tech industry in Houston, TX. 5 days in office. Sick time and PTO are not accrued and are unlimited. I am currently at 65k. Anyone with similar position in Texas?

Big four recruiter: You get 25 days of vacation! Admiral Ackbar: ITS A TRAP!

KPMG moms: I’m reading the maternity policy and just want to ensure that I am understanding it correctly. We get 26 weeks/six months of paid time off?

🎄How do you plan to recharge over the holiday? Are you taking time off? Do you plan to reset or rest at all before the New Year?

Drop your plans or ideas below! 👇

Ex-KPMG: contract says 60 day notice. How strict is that enforced? If you have 60 days of PTO, do you just take PTO for those 60 days or work 60 and pay out at end

How VISA in terms of flexibility and work Internationally on remote, do they allow to work from India during the holiday travel?

How do you feel about public holiday gatherings? I felt like such a crummy mother for not taking my kids out to see a parade or fireworks yesterday. But then with the tragedy in Illinois and (on a much smaller scale) the number of local fires because of fireworks (which are banned in my town, btw), I feel so much safer having my kids at home.

Confession: We used an engagement photo from April 2015 for the front of this year's holiday card

If you bought ADO additional time off and quit before you use it do you get it paid back?

Thinking of quitting week of 4th of July. Do you think they would let me finish out the full 2 weeks (have off Thurs & Fri) or do you think they’d tell me to not come back after the holiday weekend?

Company allows cashing out of paid time off. What’s everyone’s thoughts on cashing out now with everything that’s going on? It’s subject to a federal withholding tax.

Need some advice. I have some short weekend trips planned now that it’s safe to travel (haven’t seen my parents since March 2020, still haven’t taken a honeymoon). The problem is that these trips are spaced basically once a month through Nov. It’s usually just a Fri-Sun or Thru-Sun deal, but not sure how to try to get the time off. I’ve never taken a full week, I’m well above hours, and I’m not trying to make partner. Just trying to figure out how to minimize working over these weekends.

I need some time off for mental health reasons (painful break up). Problem is i am not close with anyone at work and would feel pretty awkward talking about it. Also my team is really busy and we are already scrambling to meet deadlines. How do I approach this?

TM litigation/TTAB: generally, I know you can't offer your own witness's discovery deposition testimony as evidence at trial except in certain circumstances (e.g., the witness is unavailable, need to complete the record in fairness etc.).

But can you attach your witness's prior dep. testimony as evidence (exhibit) via a SJ motion or opposition to a SJ motion even if none of the exceptions apply?

I'd appreciate input from seasoned lit professionals on here. Thanks!

How does your school/district/state uphold attendance for students? In Utah legislature has left it up to parents to get their kids to school. How is this working? Not well at all!!

Any advice for how to decline travel? Partner is pushing for us to go but there is a delta variant and I want to be able to spend time with my family without worrying I’ll infect them. The team culture is quite toxic (these people berate each other daily) so I feel uncomfortable speaking up, but I really don’t see a good reason for going there to do work I can do from home.

I work in the ERP industry as a first year Oracle BTA for Deloitte. I am wondering if this is only happening to me.. this is my 5th week on the bench after applying to 30 roles on STAFFIT. I talk to my RM on a weekly basis, I have spoken to a few partners over the past few weeks, and nothing has come up yet. Another colleague of mine in the same industry had experienced the same thing. Why is it taking so long, and is there anything else I can do to speed up the process?

Someone I know applied for an SC position with a fake resume. Literally no IT experience. Apparently recruiter bought it and scheduled a second round with a PPMD. I can't accept the fact that our colleagues are getting laid off and yet people like these get an opportunity to join the firm. Any thoughts?
