I believe at KPMG at least you can’t expense dinner until X # of hours charged. So if you do no work all day, but then get 1 hour of work at 8, that means you don’t get to expense dinner

What do you do when you don’t have work to do in the office? How many people do you ping to get work before you just sit there doing nothing? What’s generally accepted?

That's diabolical. If not allowed through policy, the director should have empathy and buy you food!

A warning, i have been phished through the premise of a job interview.thats definitely a new low from scammers but verify interviews they plucked my info from indeed and through that got my info, when I got suspicious (after it was too late) I called the "hiring company" (was a real company) and they said i wasn't the only one getting duped. I can't believe people are praying on people looking for a job during a pandemic but apparently some ppl have no soul. Just wanted to share and be vigilant
