So relatable, it's like everyone was sleeping when you told them you are going on vacation and no amount of weekly count down reminders are good enough for everyone to plan requests accordingly... I have had people act surprised that I am leaving that day for vacation when all we discussed the previous day was a list of things to take care of while I will be on vacation! Smh!

Anyone else seriously exhausted by the holiday season? With work, cleaning & decorating, making travel plans and shopping for presents I just feel run down and tired and we're not even close to Christmas yet. My husband tries his best but I feel like so much of the holiday season falls on women's shoulders to handle. Am I wrong?

Any ideas on how to negotiate a delayed start date? I really want it to be Jan. My mental health needs some time off and this company breezed through interviews to offer in 1 week when I was expecting it to take at least a month. I really need some time to recover from burnout.

I got an offer from firm 1 before the memorial holiday and have been stalling because I am waiting for an offer from firm 2..
I was working with a partner from firm 2 who got me an interview with the managing partner.. I got a verbal offer last week.. the staff told me they are processing the paperwork.
Should I still wait for firm 2? I feel like I can’t stall anymore.. I feel like I really should give firm 1 a response this week 😮‍💨 but I don’t want to lose both offers
