When a random SM from a different group pings you for deck support 30 mins before your PTO so you manually type out your Out of Office message reply in your response. PEACE.

Hi 🐠, I’m looking to plan a vacation with my husband. We haven’t done much international travel and I’m looking for a gay friendly - but not necessarily gay specific destination - beachy type place for late summer / early fall. Anyone been to any nice resorts that don’t care if you’re gay? Our honeymoon was Cancun area and that was great but we’re looking to expand our travel horizons. TIA!

Is it just me, or would anyone else trade 3 weeks of PTO for 5 days on a beach in FIJI today?

Asking for a friend: first thought that comes into your mind when someone sends you a task right before you’re supposed to sign off and go on vacation for 10 days. GO 👇

Beyond charitable contributions and time together, what is the best holiday gift you've received from family? (Doesn't need to be expensive, just something you use or appreciate a lot.)

Does anyone else’s work teams make them feel guilty for taking PTO?
My manager is already complaining about how much work he has next week (most of which is not even because of me being off).
I’ve heard team members bitching about other people taking time off as well. Why don’t we respect that people have lives outside of work?

Anyone have some ☕️ to spill from their office holiday party 👀👀?

Associates: How are you doing, and what do you want and need from partners?

Optics into firm finances? Clearer instructions? Formalized industry and/or skill specific training? Time off? Return to office? Fully remote flexibility?

I know everyone’s goals and motivations differ, but I am listening without defensiveness and want to bring ideas back to my firm’s management committee. Venting is cool, too.

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.

As a lateral associate, how long should you be at your new firm before you try to take vacation for a few days?

What’s your firm, tenure, and number of PTO days allowed?

Anyone order from Jomashop recently? Watch was supposed to be delivered yesterday and their phone number is a message saying they are closed for a religious holiday. Did I get scammed?

I have time off. I want to travel now but don't have a set location -maybe somewhere w beach. Is there a website that will suggest locations for you based on low prices?

Am I the only one who dislikes company holiday parties?

My agency is implementing a new PTO process that includes getting your PTO request “signed off on” by HR. Is that normal?! (We currently have unlimited PTO)

Can't any more today. Hello, holiday weekend! 🍻🎉🇺🇸

Pros and cons of bringing a +1 to the office holiday party? I'm young and new to the firm, and I have a vague sense that it seems unprofessional...what's the 🐠 take?

PTO tm gang? 🙋🏼‍♀️

@PWC Are the # of PTO days negotiable when receiving an offer? Or are they fixed for each level?

Making the move to PM. I’ve been in advertising 2.5 yrs, 1.5 as an AE. Currently making $58K in NYC. Am I in the right for a pay raise along with the Project Manager title? Or is $58K fair?

Girls, suggestions for a good hair serum for dry and frizzy hair...

How to transfer from one big 4 to another as an associate? Would I be the same level?

Is the rest of the world as enamored with the Moldy Whopper as the ad world?

Not at my current job and not even in this decade, but I experienced sexual harassment at two different agencies in different ways. I didn’t even know that it was called that at the time and definitely never knew there was anything I could do about it. Like most, I thought it was somehow my fault. And finally, when I left those agencies I felt free from it. Lately, I feel an immense guilt for not doing anything about it. Not for me but for any women that came after me by those two men...

How do you organize your finances with your marital partner? I will be getting married within the next year. We currently live together and own a home together. Mortgage is split in half, equity on the home is 70/30% based on what we paid in, and general shared expenses go on a shared cc. Not sure how/if the structure of this should change to support our evolving life in both the short term/long term (kids, career changes, the general unknown). What structure has worked/not worked for you?

When formatting a resume with only one professional job in work history, should I list specific projects or break down my experience by practice area?

I was told I had to come into the office next week and I haven’t been taking the subway since 2018 (I moved and recently came back for my new job). What’s the train situation like during morning rush hour? I live in Brooklyn and have to commute to manhattan to take the PATH to Hoboken. Are we packed like sardines like we were prepandemic? Anyone know if there’s places to park at Hoboken? Maybe I’ll drive if the parking situation isn’t bad, but leaning more towards public transit because gas == 💰

Are hotel concierge folks suppose to get tipped for recommendations?

Worked with a producer today who didn’t know what compression is, and an editor yesterday who’d never heard of a 2 beep.

Do we still train people?
