I'm leaving Deloitte, but my new job doesn't start until mid-July. When should I put in my notice? The last time I gave an employer a full two weeks' notice, I was fired that day. I don't want to be without a check. I've only been here three months, and haven't seen how my managers handle it when someone puts in their notice. Is Deloitte known for letting people work through their notice period?

Who in the hell thought open floor office plans were a good idea? We were pulled from our WFH setups to work in an open floor plan. There is no privacy and I can hear everyone's conversations. It's so hard to focus. Not to mention the smells. Everyone's perfumes, colognes, and lunches merge together and the air is so toxic. How is this setup supposed to improve our productivity?

Thoughts on romantic relationships at work? Does your firm have a policy on this? We can't help who we are attracted to, develop feelings for, etc. And, yes I've been involved with my boss on and off for almost 10 years. Some suspect us, but we've kept it to ourselves. Don't beat me up too badly.

💭 How/when do you disclose that you were let go from your last job in an interview?

Big 4 salaries come with big burnout risks. I'm currently at Deloitte, and I'm running on fumes. However, I'm too afraid to take a step back or take time off because I never know when layoffs will hit and I don't want to be seen as weak. So I keep pushing myself. How do you guys work yourself to the point of exhaustion and yet avoid burnout?
