I used to go out to lunch with one of my buddies just about every day, and we'd always eat away from the office, which is what most of us prefer. As for home? Wife sits downstairs and watches TV, while I chill out on my bed watching TV. Works perfectly for both of us.Big fan of sitting in silence at work lunch. Big fan of sitting by myself. Big fan of not even asking personal friends to join me.
Now that I'm WFH - I practice the same deal, even with the wife lol.
I never lie on mine, because I expect to be called out on anything I have written down - much like I do when I'm one of the interviewers. I'm still shocked at how often people list a skill on their resume, but when you ask them about it, their experience is usually "I logged into that system once". Had one guy who couldn't even describe what the system actually did.Resumes are among the dumbest thing in the corporate world. They’re nothing but lies because it’s unverifiable for people at the new company. Stuff like “increased productivity by 90% by introducing new processes” or whatever other dumb ****I think I’ve done a decent job updating my resume. It’s hard not to get so far in the weeds with technical details, and I think cutting it down to a single page helps. More than half of the page is work history… for two jobs.
That said, I’d be lying if I’m not worrying more about making a move right now with uncertainty in the economy. Sounds like a position wouldn’t be opening up for a number of months, so I guess that could be a blessing in disguise.
Recruiting people are a scourge and resumes are an example why
You don't need training, the police will intervene and protect you.Welp, just completed my first ever active shooter training for work. Yay!
How many did you get before they stopped you?Welp, just completed my first ever active shooter training for work. Yay!
This might be the most tone deaf article I’ve read in quite some time, which I guess is par for the course for Fox News.On the surface, the thought of taking two weeks off from work for an extended vacation may seem like a dreamy break from all the pressures of work.
But before you book that two-week trip, there’s more to consider than merely being off the clock for 10 work days at once.
The truth is that a two-week vacation can be a direct trip to hassles and work headaches that will await you when you return from all that extended fun and sun.
Consider the advice of some experts before locking in a two-week getaway (unless it's for something very, very special — read on!)
I'm taking my 2 week paternity leave July 5 through the 19. With the fourth holiday I'll be off for 17 consecutive days. It'll be GLORIOUShttps://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/plann ... kers-think

One day away here.I’m one week away from taking a two week vacation. I can’t wait.
I'd block out my calendar in outlook and keep my phone near me in case anything blew up, but otherwise do what I wanted for the day. That is what I am basically doing today myself haha.Beautiful Friday and my calendar is clear. Trigger the old wfh dilemma- do I (allegedly) put the time in and get some stuff done since I have no (scheduled) interruptions or do I tell the boss, eff it, I’m taking the day off?
Having to be home since the contractor is here makes the decision to do the former a little easier…..
I block every Friday 3-5 anyway for “weekly catch-up.” People in Texas who don’t know/care where I live tend to throw late Friday stuff out there.I'd block out my calendar in outlook and keep my phone near me in case anything blew up, but otherwise do what I wanted for the day.

Heh. I do the same thing on Fridays from like 1-4... just put "backlog" in outlook. If anyone schedules a meeting that isn't something that is an absolute emergency on a Friday afternoon...it gets ignored.I block every Friday 3-5 anyway for “weekly catch-up.” People in Texas who don’t know/care where I live tend to throw late Friday stuff out there.I'd block out my calendar in outlook and keep my phone near me in case anything blew up, but otherwise do what I wanted for the day.

The only acceptable answer.Or. Or. We could let people do whatever the **** they want with the time off they earned
I agree with this. Unfortuately it's not reality with a lot of management, hence why those people blow.Or. Or. We could let people do whatever the **** they want with the time off they earned
Yep, something similar, but it was 4 weeks and it was Turkey last year. Although she did log on and work while she was over there to "keep up", but that was all on her. I told her to forget about this place and enjoy here trip and visit family and friends, but she wanted nothing to do with it. To each their own. I wasn't going to fight it. But I wasn't mandating it.I had a manager come to me that one of his reports wanted to take 8 weeks off to go home to Ethiopia to see his family he hasn’t seen in 4 years. I said great, tell him to enjoy it and forget about this place. The manager said he wanted the report to work one day a week because his team was down two architects. I said hell no.
