Eating hours makes us immune from this right? /s

Yes. If not officially recorded on your time sheet, they don’t count toward your death score.

This is why I still go to the gym, eat healthy home cooked for every meal, and get 8 hours of sleep, even in January. I don’t give a fuck if we miss the deadline

EY3 I’ve had the same attitude since day 1 at EY. I’ve set my boundaries and 15 years later I’m still here. I don’t take weekend calls, I get my sleep, I log off to go to the gym and I don’t check emails, texts, vm while on vacation...and I take all my vacation time every year. Not sure how that “take all my time” will work with unlimited so I’m just taking the same number of vacation days as before.

I also make sure everyone on my team follows this as well.

Have a spine, set your boundaries. If you don’t you will be taken advantage of.

Hi all,

I just got a job with Delta airlines and I had an accomodation request to work remotely as I am Immunocompromised. I provided all the neccesary documents to back up my request and letters and documents from my Dr. aswell. My request was denied because the team said they wanted me to have face time and one on one interactions with people from other team (which defeats the purpose of my request) because I have to limit those interactions to reduce the risk of infection. What do I do?

It’s hard to understand COVID-19 rates of infection where I’m at or was, and the contracts was not inline with corporate ideals at least not in the IT sector. Their ideals was radical and the spread of harmful information on past events to prevent ethnicities to get vaccinated was alarming. It has highest infection rate in private sector. Don’t know death rates was strictly remote and put on non-sanctioned project NDA wasn’t signed and never knew until it came down the grapevine.

Neither my husband nor I are good with change and when my husband and I went for the ultrasound he nervously asked "she's too sick to eat anything other than her vitamins and water, is it ok for her and the baby to go without?" Our doctor just smiled and replied "don't worry, baby takes" I don't know why but that was so funny to us. It kind of became our mantra as we navigate and move our life around that "baby takes," its made it feel more Us vs Change rather than Me vs Him. Thought I'd share
