Yesterday I told my boss I'll take a package. My wife and I hit our number a while ago, even with the COVID recesssion. Was hoping to stretch out one more year, but the package gets me almost there so why not. Wasn't loving the job. Feel totally liberated!

59 Big 4 firm. Standard director's package with 6 months plus additional payout based on years worked. Nothing amazing but plenty to get me where I am going lifewise. One thing COVID reminded me of was how much I enjoy spending time with my wife. So looking forward to more of it!

What company? And what do these packages look like usually? Curious

Some of them are pretty good. At Southwest if you worked for 10 years you were eligible for one year pay, one year health insurance, and 4 years of employee-level flight benefits. Pilots could get 5 years of pay. Then they also offered 6, 12, and 18 month leaves at half-pay plus normal health insurance. Apparently 30% of their workforce took the offer.

Congratulations.

Understand if this is too personal but may I ask what your number is or at least your basis for calculating the number? Trying to come up with a goal for us but it also kind of feels like pulling a number out of thin air 😅

While most teachers are protected by teacher unions, I feel my voice hasn’t been heard at all with my concerns of going back to school next week. Our diocese has decided on full return 5 days/ week for all 42 schools despite a recent increase in COVID in our communities. Every other school that I know of in my state is either choosing remote learning to start the year or a hybrid approach, yet that was not an option for us. Are other Catholic schools I. The same boat? Stay safe!

I have moderate-conservative views. My team, 6 other people, are all very left-leaning. Politics isn't usually discussed outright, but the liberal views frequently seep into our meetings. It's uncomfortable for me; I can't chime in when they talk about media, covid, news, etc. because I don't agree with their snuck premises. I get along with all of them and I don't think they realize I'm basically a closet conservative. Anyone else feel like a total outsider on their team?

I started a new full-time job 3 months ago. My teammates only escalate small mistakes to my boss; I rarely get positive feedback on the things I go above and beyond on. I have a review coming up this week, and I don’t feel secure. A role that I applied to pre-covid became available. I got a verbal offer last week. Should I leave a full-time gig for a temp-perm one? I’ve killed myself to implement constructive feedback but I’m scared it wouldn’t be enough.
