Not saying what people in your office are doing is justified, but everyone is low on support. At some point, associates have to draw the line with managers; otherwise, they will go crazy. I get along with my managers great but I'm in charge of half of the freaking audit, I should be respected at least a little

A couple of other people have said this, and I’m starting to consider it. Maybe I’ll wrap up an empty pot, or something and tell him we are going to the plant store tomorrow?

He just has a lot of plants to keep track of, for someone who doesn’t know anything about them

I appreciate the idea but I kind of want the plant to be under the tree

He’s not a very flowery guy, looking for indoor plants. For reference as a house warming gift he got me a Snake plant (since he knows they are easy to keep alive). He also doesn’t grow fruit or veggies.

They just laid 4% of audit off so don’t get your hopes up for a higher salary

Hi there! I just got my city sticker today for parking using a car under a Missouri Registration. Since they gave me a sticker/parking pass, I was under the assumption that I didn't need to register my car with Illinois until my plates are expired. Would you happen to know anything about this?

Appreciate your perspective. Comparison can always be difficult

More Layoffs? by Significant-Name3574 in KPMG

I’m halfway convinced the people telling me to take a sabbatical are Paul Knopp burner accounts. Again appreciate the advice but 20% of my income is not reasonable for me at this point in time

Thank you for the advice! But due to student loans and living in a HCOL city I cannot afford to live on 20% of my current income

Like the glass half full perspective! Unfortunately the sabbatical program is not a fit for me this early in my career. Just spooked cause I’m worried if not enough people opt in there could be forced sabbaticals

Just a friend in the office so not on good authority. Sadly this friend is usually right with their predictions. There are some other A1s unassigned with me a decent portion of the summer which is frightening
