Honestly OP I never call out from work. I have only done it twice in my entire life and both times I was actually sick. I am just such a chicken when it comes to calling out of work. I have heard some crazy excuses though.

Me too to be honest I def had my younger days where I said I was sick when I wasn’t and that was extremely rare maybe once or twice the most

PPMDs, if an employee comes to you and ask for support to join a different group within the firm and the employees ends up not getting the other role, do you typically treat them differently after (e.g., not staffing them on as many deals) / would you hold them back from promotion the following year?

Anyone here ever been scared by some major differences in materialism with your partner? I’ve been considered “boujee” by some friends but my girlfriend of just over a year is on a whole other level. Lately because of many of her friends getting engaged / married, rings have been mentioned and she’s said pretty much she wouldnt be happy with under 25k.

I come from a very middle class upbringing, and so does she, although she’s influenced by friends dating professional athletes and stuff

If I can't successfully transfer I may have to look for work outside of my current employer.
