When are we betting the office will close for this Covid19 plague?

9/26 check-in: Happy Monday, y’all! What are your plans for today?

For me- treadmill and triceps.

Anyone else dying this week 😅

Hi fishes,
As an employee of TCS, can we avail any comprehensive/full lab tests/ health checkup tests in Hyderabad.?
While I'm checking on Medibuddy, there's an "amount to pay" displayed on each of the tests.

Clawback clause in current contract: been in role for over 2 yrs, it was an internal move that required relocation. Relocation was approved shortly after (over 2 yrs ago) but covid meant the actual move and start of my contract with new subsidiary was delayed, I was paid by the previous subsidiary meanwhile. I got small relocation package. Would internal move be subject to a buy-out/clawback clause if I leave now and if yes, is it time in role or time under new contract? Any experience? Thanks!

Fish fam. Need some advice. My height is 5'11 and I weigh 160 lbs. Since I am a vegetarian I find it difficult to put on weight through a regular diet. Constant Travel doesn't help either. Any vegetarians out there who have overcome a similar problem??

Anyone take the CIPM recently? How was it?

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.

Did you/would you get booster during pregnancy?

40 weeks pregnant and terrified to be induced. Any tips on how to manage the stress and pain? I’m getting an epidural but still very nervous.

Any recs for a full brimmed hat to wear on the beach in South Carolina? Recently got diagnosed with vitiligo and can’t rock the backwards hat anymore on the beach.

What's the biggest piece of junk science that you think is commonly accepted as true. Mine has to be that intermittent fasting will help you lose weight and become more productive.

Which health insurance your company providing?

Trigger: rare illness post birth

Just sharing that I was diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia 3 days after giving birth despite not having risk factors or preeclampsia in my pregnancy. Sharing as I had absolutely no idea about this illness.

Main things to do are check your BP everyday at least the first ten days after you give birth, and go to hospital if it's very high (over 160/110). If you get severe headache or stomach ache then also be vigilant.

Happy to answer any questions!

For those doing production in COVID, how large were your crews? How many at location vs on the actual set?

Deloitte peeps.. Can someone give me the detailed run down on how to most cheaply access PrEP? Starting with which health plan option, etc. Thanks in advance!

How often do you cry at your job? I cry usually one day a week triggered by stress/overwhelm but want to know if this is a typical response

Has anyone tried to get an antibody test here yet? How hard is it to get one?

In Texas & my CPA CPE hrs are due this month. The corona virus has really impacted my work/plan to finish them and I’m worried I won’t get them done. Anyone know anything about possible extensions?

Anyone done Invisalign recently? How was your experience and was it worth it? How long did you have then for?

Has anyone been to the UK lately from the US? What are the Covid requirements / restrictions? Thank you!

Dear fishes,
Looking for referrals for the role of a product owner.

experience - 6 years.

Available to join immediately. Any referrals would be highly appreciated.

Regards

Need suggestions - recently moved to the US & craving for bright white lights for home (similar to our tube lights) , any brands to watch out for? We went to Ikea , there were few options but nt sure.

Does anyone have motivating/good sales books to recommend?

I have a case I have enough evidence on to go to summery judgement on off the gate. Procedurally what's the best way to go a out this? D's are unrepresented and extremely difficult about settlement talks.

Does anyone else constantly put off putting their time in as they go and then hate their life at the end of the month? Then once you get caught up, you don’t want to enter more time, and so you fall behind again. It’s a vicious cycle.

Anyone else at 2400+ and just dieing? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills over here reading these posts about being slow. West coast, egvc m&a and cap markets, top five by revenue globally. Is it really just our firm/office on an island?

I recently left the gov’t for private practice with a M&A group. How does everyone bill when you are thinking about how to structure it and what docs need to get drafted? I’m learning that billing is an art so any canned language would be great!

Anyone looking for freelance writer help in town?I’ve got loads of experience and a very reasonable day rate. DM if you’re in need or know of any leads. Bless.

Please please please go read the book onward by Elena Agulair. I’m currently reading it and love it, about teacher resilience.

Does anyone know why we have received same increment even when our ratings are different. There is only slight difference in bonus amount, rest is same for all guys. This is definitely true for 0-1 yoe ones.

Curious to know what salary Social Media Managers are making in the NYC area. Interviewing for management roles and here comes the dreaded convos for desired compensation.

If 2+ people submit a referral on your behalf at their company for a position you recently applied for, does it make you stand out even more/increase your chances of getting an interview vs. just 1?

Anyone in the industry feeling generous with some free time would be great to get your critique on a CV as I try to make the jump across in the next graduate hiring window!

I've been applying to Internal Audit Manager positions and been rejected for 2 positions based on salary expectations. I have 12YOE in all kinds of audits and industries, is it unreasonable to ask for $120k+ in an industry position?

How much time take to release Tech mahindra offer letter

Anyone willing to refer for KPMG Atlanta office, financial solutions practice? I'm relocating to the Atlanta area. TIA

When is it either allowed or seen as OK to start using FTO? I recently started here and while I’m not looking to slack off and take time off, I just want to know how it works. (Plus, I don’t want to not use something that I can or should use.) Elementary stuff, I know. But I’ve freelanced my whole career until now. Thanks

So, how we all doing? First few weeks of 2020 treating everyone alright?

Thought we could use our own bowl...many of the FCB bowl posts refer to Chicago so thought we might like our own to chat all things FCBHealth, pharma, 7/6/5 floors, etc.

There are leaders, and then there is Dana.
👏 ❤️ 🐐

Does Partners & Pizza come with actual pizza (like a voucher or something) or is it just a name from pre-WFH?

What’s the deal with working remotely permanently?

I felt very good following Dana’s Town Hall. Having heard other networks are already facing furloughs and layoffs, did you feel as encouraged?

Can anyone give me honest feedback on what being a copywriter is like at FCB Health NY? I have an interview but looking on here all I see is *really* negative feedback, so I’m very apprehensive. Glassdoor has a lot of bad reviews too. I’m currently at a smaller agency and I like it, but getting the itch to move up in salary & have more opportunities to produce good work. Tempted by FCB for those reasons, but value work/life balance.

How is it working on the FCB Health NY social strategy teams? Do you like your work/job? Do you feel supported?

Serious question: Why’d we have to migrate our network logins to FCB Health in addition to our emails? Couldn’t we have just started listing our emails as “@fcbhealth” but logging in as “@FCB”?
Our old emails instantly forward to our current ones, so I don’t see why it couldn’t be the other way.

Michael Roth gave healthcare big recognition on today’s earnings call. 3%+ organic net revenue growth across IPG. 👏

As of late, my work related anxiety has reached new levels and it’s really starting to affect me mentally. I’m part of a great team; I’m trusted and supported, have a great track record, there are no issues, and have been no incidents. Regardless, my professional self perception and confidence is so rattled as of late, it’s almost like a paralysis at times. I realize there are much larger problems right now, but if anyone has any tips or advice to get over this, I am all ears. Thanks all!

I kind of think people should be asked to wait until after November 15 to share their promotion news until all the agency has been given their news. As a courtesy.

Do we get bonuses this year ?

Alright everyone, best thing that happened at work this week!?

I’ll start: finding a middle ground where everyone came away happy.

Enjoy the long weekend!

Hello FCB - I’ve made attempts to connect with HR for an open position and I get no response. True, I may not be right for the role. If that were the case wouldn’t I get the rejection form letter? I applied through a link an employee set up for me. Can anyone throw me a life line? tia...

So who wants to continue WFH forever?! Think that’ll be an option? Curious how this will play out in a few months.

Did you have fun at the Halloween party?

Aloha instead of Halloween? We rarely get this many opportunities for free alcohol + snacks, so wondering if Dana is bait and switching us...

Could someone tell me a bit about Yuzu Yellow or Mosaic? Thanks!
