I am deputed at the client office. I use PSL laptop only to check mails. But in my last appraisal my manager told me that I need to get 60 credit points for promotion. But due to client work load, i won't be able to do that. So, I have resigned from PSL mentioning the same that promotion will not happen.
But my manager told me that he will try to give me a promotion in next cycle (ignoring the credit points clause). He is asking me to withdraw resign
Shall I withdraw my resign? Persistent
Countdown... beginning now

I was laid off during Deloitteās mass layoff in July of last year. I have worked as an independent contractor since and projects havenāt been consistent at the client Iām working for. Iām looking to get back into a big firm and was seeing if anyone would be able to refer me or help get my foot in the door. I was a business analyst for 1.5 years at Deloitte and have several years of additional experience which Iād be more than happy to share.

My wife and I are not having kids. We set aside money if we ever need full time care. If you don't want kids don't have them. Will cost a lot less to say put $100 a month away for 24 care if ever needed than having a kid who may never take care of you.
We donāt have children and have plans/money set aside if we have catastrophic health failures requiring professional long term care.
While itās nice to think family will be āthereā if/when you need it as one ages, I assert that is a faulty assumption. My parents (now 80) have had several medical issues and I am ALWAYS the one who shows up to help them out. My older sibling is too self absorbed and narcissistic to ever offer to help in person or to provide financial assistance. Hate to say it but my sibling is proof that you cannot always rely on your children to help out aging parents
If you're considering children for the sole reason that you want them to take care of you when you're older... don't have children. Please.
Thatās actually one of the main reasons a lot of people have kids
I plan on taking up life threatening hobbies as I get older so that if I go out, it will be either because my parachute failed skydiving over the Florida Keys or Iāve suffered from hypothermia climbing K2 or wild dogs have hunted me down in Inner Mongolia or Iāve been eaten by lions on safari or a killer whale has mistaken me for a seal while kayaking in Alaska. All things I wouldnāt have the $$ to do if I spent it on kids. š¬
If itās Healthcare you canāt bank on kids to take care of you so the advice above is sound (thatās why there is such a business amongst nursing homes). If itās to address loneliness, you will likely need to actively work on your social network. If itās to feel like you need to leave a legacy then you can always adopt, volunteer, and contribute in other ways that are meaningful to you and impactful on society.
As a child who is repeatedly told my existence is also insurance for old age care.....NO. We aren't insurance, nor investments against old age. Have kids if you want to, not because you want to use them for your own gain.
M1 - Well hopefully your two year old daughter will defy the data points and globally recognized trend. Best of luck to you. šš»
No kids for us, $250k to bring them up, cannot travel the world, hectic lifestyle, too many responsibilities, at 18 they relocate, may not be there to take care of you! Our life is peaceful and blissful...
āAsian children care for their parents? That's an outdated stereotypeā

I think itās just as fanciful to pretend your kids will give up their lives to take care of you
I worked for an MD and Director that didnāt have kids. Their lives were pathetic, nothing to do besides work and no hobbies after years on the road. Cleared that question right up for me.
Iād rather put away 1/4 of the money itād take to raise a kid to cover long term care, and spend that other 3/4 on living an adventurous and enjoyable life
EM1 - How is saving money for yourself more selfish than bringing a human into the world and obligating them to take care of you?
Dd1 sorry but its not fun to die alone. Kids are bot just about old age care, its about family
On same page as DD1 - I donāt have a gaping hole that only kids can fill - my family and friends are enough.
Still young enough to change mind, and if not, we can adopt
M1, it is not laughable. Family is forever, but so are good friends. And you should not saddle anyone, that you are not paying, with the burden of caring for you
Acc2 you went off of an assumption that is incorrect. As a daughter i will do ANYTHING for my family because my parents did everything and beyond for me. On the same note, i will not kick my daughter out at 18 and will support her till she needs me. Who takes care of me is irrelevant, what i can do for both generations is not a business transaction. I can hope my daughter takes after me, but i dont count on it. Partners at our firms who live for this job are sad role models and i will never want that life for myself
Friends are family too and usually nicer
Why is it always the ones with kids judging those who donāt want them? Iāve never heard of a childless person telling a parent āwow man you fucked up big timeā. Just let ppl live how they want to.
...for me later in life. I donāt know what my mom would have done if we hadnāt been there. Any thoughts to this?
