Work holiday parties....date or no date (if you don't have a SO)?

Agency holiday party scheduled for a Friday night 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

Got pulled over for an expired registration..went past few days. First offense in my 5 years of driving..A damn Diwali gift before I go home for a vacation..

Running in my 8th year in construction here in the SE. In my second job right now as a PM and Risk Management (5th year). I have a Masters Degree in Construction and additional certification programs from Cornell University, I think I am good with the pay I am getting (FOR NOW!) BUT

Currently get paid 10 PTO+6 holidays in addition to winter shutdowns from December 24th to Jan1st. Hence the PTO is limited to 10 for new hires upto completion of 5 years.

Is this a fair PTO for someone in year 8?

Looking to jump to Accenture. Anyone have perspective on benefits (PTO, insurance, travel/per diem) at Accenture?

Currently on PTO (family vacation) and I keep having to deal with issues at work. I am an engineer at multiple buildings that have no one else who is cross-trained amongst them. I’ve brought it up to my manager and the response is non-existent. How do I tell my manager to go kick rocks politely. And should I ask for overtime for even having to deal with work issues while on PTO?

How does RSM FS compare with Pwc/ EY/ KPMG AWM group (nyc region). Comp appear to be higher for big 4, S-2 level. Are exit opportunities better with big 4? How does hours compare for each? Why Pwc has 15 pto days and rest has unlimited? WL culture better where?

What companies are offering additional PTO right now amid all the COVID-19 situation and how much??

Our company is moving to unlimited PTO starting next year. What’s the average time off you’ve taken per calendar year?

So…..my director has been in the position for a little over a year. We’ve been working our tails off and last quarter were informed of no bonuses. I understand that business is down and need to save money. The straw for us was a company holiday party. They completely forgot to have one and now taking us to a bar for drinks and appetizers. Someone asked if that includes a dinner and they said no. The optics is just so bad. Any advice? Really rethinking my current situation and need to reevaluate.

What holidays do the other big 4 have off? How many days are holiday vs mandatory vacation?

Any advice would be great

What companies offer amazing employee benefits? I just started looking for a remote recruiter role. I have tried applying for companies like Google, Meta, Microsoft, but have not had any luck. I am wondering if there are any smaller companies that I may not know about, have great benefits and less competitive to get into. For example, I know UK companies have great PTO benefits, and I know of some companies that pay 100% of their employees benefits. TIA

Curious to know how you are handling current inflation rates versus 3% merit increases. Are you adjusting merit increases for inflation? If not, how are you handling those conversations?

I still think of my ex. It’s been 9 months since our breakup. He cheated on me and although I walked away and never looked back, I still wonder how life is treating him. I know I deserve better. Sigh.
