Anyone experience Vermont for New Years? Putting aside the risk of heavy snow, the missus and I are looking to spend a few days together somewhere new. Good food/sights/events, not necessarily hiking or adventure. Any and all comments welcome.

How do I confront my manager who is emotionally blackmailing me as I have put down my papers.
He is saying that thay have shown trust in me and I am breaking the trust.Its so irritating and make no sense to me. He is ready to offer me 30% hike and Canada Visa. I know these are his tricks to make me stay and once I stay then there is no surety when will I travel to onsite and there will be no hike for me next year along with the low performance ratings.

Trying to conceive.. when I went to my OB/GYN she recommended getting the Natera genetic pre screening. Her exact phrase was “it’s usually covered by insurance, but if not it’s only like, $99” so of course, I agreed. I just got my insurance claim and it was submitted for 14,000!! What?!?!

Was anyone else livid the blizzard missed us this morning? We really needed some nice fresh powder!

Thoughts on sending out assignments over the weekend? I work a lot on weekends, but I don’t expect associates too. But, because I work on weekends, I often will send out assignments by email with a clear indication in subject line and body that it does not need to be completed or worked on over the weekend. A friend recently mentioned this isn’t the best since seeing the assignment may create unnecessary stress and anxiety. So, what say you? Am I terrible partner?

I’ve been a mid-level manager (Sr Operations Manager) for the last three years. Been in my industry for 10 years. I feel I have plateaued in my career path. I’m trying to promote to a Director of Operations role in house and looking at outside opportunities as well. I feel like it’s taken longer to obtain this position than my previous roles. Any advice from Sr/Exec Management to be more self aware and fill in the holes to finally hit the finish line?

Has anyone worked with an executive recruiter or headhunter to identify opportunities and support placement into a new role? Any referrals? Specifically in the digital product, innovation or design field.

I’m planning to negotiate a bonus structure. Does anyone have any tips or models of bonus / commission structure?

I am a Senior Project Manager for a custom estate builder. We build homes over $50mm in construction costs for the ultra wealthy. I have been with this firm for 15 years and make $350K annual. There is only one partner and the sole proprietor who is essentially retired. They split ~$5MM in profits per year. I have reached the limit on title / career progression in my company - nowhere upwards to go. I highly doubt they will ever partner anyone else into the business. Do I leave?

Working my way up the corporate ladder. I have so many thoughts on leadership and want to initiate changes in the departments I work with. But at this level it's so difficult. Ppl are so resistant to change.

My key learning thus far in my career: Noone gives a shit about your ideas unless you're a head honcho. Real change is brought about from a position of authority.

Got an opportunity for a Director role that will oversee a new and major changes across the org but won't have people under me. Should I be worried?

How do you let go of the need to be liked by subordinates? I have a people pleasing streak.

USA based. Looking for Total Comp and cash targets/benchmarks.

Prepping for a CRO interview with the CEO of a smaller tech company (approx 70 employees) experiencing explosive growth. They want someone to run sales, alliances, & marketing, with heavy influence around product development so not really a traditional CRO role. Working on prep and curious if anyone has any ideas around questions I should be prepared to answer? Questions I should ask? Seems like an interesting role that should be a good fit with my background. Other thoughts?

I took the role I am in about a year ago and it just has not been what was promised and a huge step back. I have found a good place and am content but not overly happy with my place in the company. A smaller competitor reached out for a vp position that is a huge step up responsibility wise. There would be a pay raise but not huge so money is not the motivator here. Is this crazy to seriously consider? I hate to burn bridges. I have been told I am on the partner fast track. Thoughts? Advice?
