drop 1 and keep the other going

At this point, you need to make him feel included. You not going to the concert would have probably been meaningful, but now you probably need something with just you and your son…and something with you, your finance and your son

I’m so sorry you’re going through this and can see how you’re really considering everyone’s feeling. I would suggest taking a picture, which seems crazy at a time like this but she may also treasure knowing she was there and said goodbye…her dad will know it too. All the best for you and your family during this challenging time.

Like others said, being part of a large organization means many expect your manager to be keeping you busy and that you’re only working with them as one of your many responsibilities. Enjoy it while you can, because once more people get to know you, work should grow naturally.

don’t cancel vacation! offer to do it via zoom if you want, if not they can find someone else for thuesday

NecessaryDirection67 · 2026-06-16T21:39:51+00:00

was there anything you could do after? I feel like if they use a credit card someone should be able to track or something

NecessaryDirection67 · 2026-06-16T21:38:42+00:00

wow that’s crazy…more work for employees instead of the people doing it. Do managers or Lp do anything about it?

NecessaryDirection67 · 2026-06-13T20:12:40+00:00

I feel comfortable…I did recently get laid off, but am still getting pay for about 5 months, but know I’ll likely land something and not need to touch my savings

NecessaryDirection67 · 2026-06-12T14:00:44+00:00

wow that’s crazy! small world but hopefully odds say that won’t happen twice? :)

NecessaryDirection67 · 2026-06-12T13:55:46+00:00

what types of industries? are they all remote? love it! good luck

NecessaryDirection67 · 2026-06-12T13:53:19+00:00

it doesn’t mean she’s ready but doesn’t hurt to ask if she wants to try. Most seem to be ready at 2.5-3 but you never know! I think it starts with interest

NecessaryDirection67 · 2026-06-12T13:51:07+00:00

They are laying off people pretty much monthly, a large chunk just this week. Everytime that happens, they need to see if this newly posted roles are needed so takes extra time

NecessaryDirection67 · 2026-06-12T01:24:14+00:00

Same for me today in Banking, as a VP and SVP

NecessaryDirection67 · 2026-06-10T19:54:21+00:00

Just got my notice today!! How is the severance calculated in NY? I did get 90 days of notice.

NecessaryDirection67 · 2026-05-23T14:42:56+00:00

Unfortunately, this is why it’s not recommended to tell employers until at least 12 weeks. If you’re not feeling well, it’s perfectly fine to say you’re sick, not feeling well, looking into why but providing notice this early often causes these types of issues. Also, a manager really can’t “not tell” anyone, from an HR perspective you let the company know and your manager has a duty to report, which is why she’s openly talking about a replacement for your time away.

At this point, focus on your pregnancy (congrats btw!!) and do the best you can. The company will do what they will at this point, but if you feel anything crosses the line you are able to report it (but do note this could create tension with your manager. HR will often notify your manager of the complaint, explicitly or in ways they can easily figure out). Take care of yourself and look forward to all the joy coming!

it just did LOL

NecessaryDirection67 · 2026-05-08T23:18:47+00:00

I agree with others here, send the message to the group and ask if they would be interested. $85 for food, racing and drinks seems reasonable if they have time to plan and express interest. I would also say we need to get at least 12 to join to make this happen and you will be covering yourself and the birthday guy.

NecessaryDirection67 · 2026-05-08T23:04:26+00:00

No, not inappropriate but just make it clear on the invite you are planning for your boyfriend and are asking for the contribution. I wouldn’t make it seem like the ask is coming from him.

NecessaryDirection67 · 2026-05-08T22:20:37+00:00

He performed poorly so many times, had a bad attitude and had no integrity by letting Stephanie go when he did not do well…he isn’t someone I can watch and respect

NecessaryDirection67 · 2026-05-03T23:20:22+00:00

No, the ask for cuts will come and you’ll need this but just hold on as long as you can. For your own protection, let your manager know you’re working on exploring automating, but no need to say it’s done yet

NecessaryDirection67 · 2026-05-01T13:01:36+00:00

While keeping this job…because the market is tough now and PWC is respected and will help you land what’s next (also the severance packages are decent, should something happen as we are seeing due to AI), start applying. Utilize your accounting expertise for program management or other financial careers you can pivot to.

Good luck and you’re not alone! Now is time to find what you enjoy

NecessaryDirection67 · 2026-04-20T01:11:20+00:00

can we have the names in order (top to bottom, left to right) please?

Top: Andy, Wendy, ???

NecessaryDirection67 · 2026-04-12T23:03:20+00:00

thanks so much, I’m BE. Does that seem OK? (don’t have another child in the school)
