I've had a hybrid role for the past 4 years where I get unlimited sick days (well 14 really until fmla kicked in), 3 weeks of vacation, 3 personal days. I am also given the week after Xmas off. if my toddlers are sick I can work at home with them. Interviewing w fortune 500 that offers 15 pto days that have to use for sick days too.Strictly in office job 9-5 and dress bus.prof. These bad benefits? Outdated culture?I am a seasoned professional. Seems tough.

@pwc3, it was at a kids interactive science museum. It was supposed to be fancy (as it has been in past years), but instead it felt like we were all dressed up while waiting for a kids' birthday party. The lighting was super bright, there was a bad dj, and the food was very disappointing. Overall, it was a big disappointment when compared to prior years
I should have! It was horrible this year. If it's at the same location next year, I won't be going
Yep!
I’m thinking about skipping it
OP do you even drink
EY1: I do.
Yeah, having it on a Saturday makes me feel like I have work on the weekend. My boyfriend's company does Friday night, which is better. But he also doesn't work in PA and every Friday is a half day. So moral of the story... fml.
Skipped my holiday party for the first time this year. I realized I have so much more fun at home watching Christmas movies with my wife than making small talk with people I don't care about. And I always get way too drunk
I'm skipping!
Haha! Fuck you too!! I also hate these things (for the same reason).
^i second pwc6. Fuck u OP and pwc6. I hate it too.
Charlotte
We’ve never had good food. Ours is always lame
I skipped the shit too
And I don't know if other firms/markets allow +1s, but my group in NYC doesn't allow +1s. So makes the dance floor EXTREMELY awkward. Because either you're dancing semi-alone with colleagues you barely know, or you're witnessing two people get uncomfortably intimidate who will regret it the next day when they see each other at work
My group's holiday party was this past Monday night, and a senior (male) hooked up with a partner (also male).
What was so bad about the location PwC1?
Oh wow
Pwc1 are you in Charlotte? I work up there a lot and I thought it sounded cool to have it there! Guess not though. I have mine this weekend at an Arts Center, but my group is going to a local brewery beforehand so I'm excited about it.
@Pwc1, or Chicago?
