Are you on paternity leave? If not, it’s pretty fair for you to be asked to deliver as is needed by that project.

My wife wouldn’t have been too happy about that… but that’s what leave is for. To be home with your family.

No. Just timing with my wife’s leave to offset childcare costs,

Ya. All depends on paternity status and how formalized it is. I would also look at who else/what other options there would be for the project to remain successful without travel at that time.

For this very reason I went on paternity the day my kid was born and I was out for almost 6 months.

I knew partner and clients won’t care if I’m still working and the whole work expectation is unpredictable, you can never be too sure.

Recently accepted a temp role as an HR admin for a former employer. Previously interned there & left because my supervisor did not have any growth opportunities planned out for me; this was in spite of my stellar performance, as reflected in my 90 day review. She has since left the company, but there’s crazy turnover in the company & in the HR department in particular. Just that an HR coordinator resigned. Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?

Do people on Google believe it is appropriate for the recruiters just a ghost people especially if they feel they don’t match the job?

IEP, 504, and those without internet will return in-person next week while rest of students remain remote.
