Have people been getting bonuses or mid year raises now? Saw something on a Deloitte bowl I thought.

Can someone please for the love of god help me figure out how I can pay less income taxes? I only make 88k and I put the 12k standard deduction but I’m still getting taxed 27% of my paychecks! My sign on bonus (20 even) a few months ago was taxed nearly 45%! Excuse my ignorance, but am I doing something wrong? Will increasing deductions help or should I increase the withholdings? Is this normal?! Thanks for any help/advice, it’s greatly appreciated.

Hello! Anyone have any experience with ADP WorkforceNow? We were about to sign with Paycom, and move away from ADP, (who only does our payroll right now, no other services), but it seems WFN has come a long way in the last year or so. Can anyone offer feedback? Appreciate it!

Need advice: do you tell your manager that you’re unhappy or do you just leave?

I’m being taken advantage of with being thrown so much work and really don’t see my salary increasing to be in line with my coworkers doing similar work. I’m a consistent high performer - management reviews tell me that much.

My coworker did mention to the manager that they’re not being paid well for the work they do, and our manager took it personally and told them they’re ungrateful 🥲

Hi, what vendors do you like for 360 assessments?

I hate California labor law,.., that is all :-) lol

Raises are between 7 and 15%. For just about everyone at every level at every company, depending on performance of you and your service line. You can all shut the hell up now.

Woke up with my clothes on from the night before. Thank god my alarm woke me up, but my head is spinning. It’s going to be a longggg day.

Why is it so hard to find a remote HR position? I have my SHRM-SCP, my MBA and over 10 years of experience being an HR Manager.

When it's almost 5pm and you are finally able to start on the task you were supposed to spend most of the day on.

Have you ever in-charged an engagement where your staff are higher ranking than you? E.g. you're staff 1 in charge of a staff 2 and a 1st year senior. What is your advice for others in this spot?

I am interested in getting my SHRM-CP certification this year and I was wondering which study methods and materials worked best for those of you who passed the exam. Also, what are your roles in HR?!

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?

Are we overthinking the comp, benefits, wlb and the sort?
Sometimes I wish I could just do the job and not think about any of those things. But then I look at the time and nine hours passed by and I still have three hours left before I can say that I made a ding to my To Do list for the day.

Which firms do good actuarial work for cash balance plans?

Any antitrust experts want to opine on the FB news? I’m certainly no expert, haven’t read the actual complaint, and am all for competition laws, but it does strike me as odd that the FTC is coming in long after the fact to scrutinize certain acquisitions.

Any thoughts on how to handle working with coworkers who are very friendly/well-liked by most but are utterly mediocre at what they do and just want to coast? Makes me feel like I’m the difficult one.

In a typical advertising creative team structure, who vets the new hires? ECD? CD? Trying to get some clarity as I work at a small shop with CD being the highest title.

Signed up for improv theater to break my presentation anxiety. I'm freaking out a bit - but hopefully it will help. Wish me good luck.

How does one get on at a family office?

I’ve been working in finance strategy / transformation consulting for the last two years and would like to pivot into construction project management. Looking to get some insights of if something like this is even feasible or if anyone else has done something similar.

My 2nd round of interview for AWM VP position got cancelled with #JPMC at the end minute. HR said the position is put on hold by Business.. any similar experiences? Anytime HR came back with interview schedule later in such cases?

Have layoffs been finished for the year or are more coming?

I have a friend who was let go a few months into his first job after college (reason: the manager felt like he wasn't grasping the training content to the level that was expected). He's worried about if he should put the experience on his resume anyway, if he does will recruiters ask why he had such a short time at this place, and what will recruiters think if he explains he was let go. What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?

I think I need Ex bankers as friend and accountants. I need people who we can discuss deals in the swift world with from time to time. I need people with great ideas in my life

What do I need to know about making the switch to freelance?
