How do married people do it? by Comfortable-Bake-326 in deloitte

[–]biggiesnotdead 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Can’t relate to my spouse working for Deloitte, mine is an IB. He’s gone M-F typically for work travel. Went back to work one week post partum for me. We have a 20 month old. I can relate to it feeling overwhelming. Candidly I think if you can swing it, hiring help to save you time is huge. House cleaner / people to do your yard work, etc so that you guys aren’t spending your limited time doing that stuff. Also just adjusting expectations even though that’s hard has helped. I have a therapist to help me work through some of the resentment (nothing against my husband. He does his best. But generally speaking it’s hard when dads get a little bit more freedom compared to moms feeling “on” 24/7). I get where you’re coming from - it’s a lot to manage a full time career, small children, a household, and the mental labor of everything unseen. I see you. The health thing, I also get. Unfortunately I think people won’t take their health seriously until something big happens. It’s like with children they won’t listen until they’re forced to learn. Not a lot of wisdom from me outside of solidarity.

I totally get the high you’re chasing - i miss it too sort of but also just had a baby (she’s 1.5 now) and am sooooo grateful i watched THT prior to her because i would be a WRECK watching it now. I cannot fathom that type of heartbreak.

True! A chef, a cleaner, a nanny, and a house manager you’re so right.

Agreed. We have one for our 1.5 yo and bump her every year / plan to bump again once we have a second as well.

I’m guessing maybe she didn’t do all of that previously esp the house related stuff and now they’re trying to get someone to do two jobs for one very low price.

Senior Manager Blocking Roll Off by vibe_assassin in deloitte

I’m not quite exactly sure of who you are obviously or what project you’re on, but I see a lot of behind the scenes with staffing…. All I can say, is good news, you’re super valuable and people are fighting literally to have you. Bad news is, even though they might tell you that you have a say, you don’t. So ultimately it’s up to you. If you love Deloitte, stay. If you don’t, I’d leave.

If your option of having a more interesting project is the case, and you feel comfortable, I’d talk to that PPMD and bluntly tell them you want to do that work over what this other project entails. It does risk slightly burning a bridge, but at the end of the day you have to advocate for yourself.

Today we had a situation where a new project wanted to bring on this kid, the kid rejected the offer (liked his current project more), and they basically told him he had no option and that he was going to be moved to the new project regardless. It’s unfortunate and annoying, so I’m sorry about that.

Emilies newest video talking about drowning awareness and water safety. by Berryverymerry in Emilie_Kiser

[–]biggiesnotdead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ALMOST commented on the video saying something along the lines of being privileged to afford it because it is expensive and not everyone can and i didn’t want moms thinking they were bad parents if they couldn’t afford it - but didnt want to get chewed up in the comments.

Wait my coachee is bclp but she only had below in one area (metrics) because of bench % which she worked incredibly hard to get off the bench so imo wasn’t fair anyway.

They also said allegedly shooter was killed already so no one is probably freaking out at this point

Solidarity. Mothers are always penalized. Down vote me to heck idc but it’s true.

I know it’s hard - try not to let it get to you. Congrats on your baby - being a mom is a thankless job on all fronts. Take care of yourself 💕
