3 years at droga, no promo. Asks for a review and promotion and told there’s no budget for it. Leaves to find new opportunities. Not much later, everyone gets promoted. 😂

All of our companies have money. It bothers me when they pretend they’re poor. So long as you’re in a skyscraper and publicly-held, money can be found.

The funniest part is how there's never any money for raises or opportunities for promotions until you have an offer somewhere else, then the floodgates suddenly open.

Sorry dudes, if you'd actually given me what I wanted before I found a new gig I wouldn't have gone looking in the first place. So take that counter and stick it somewhere where the sun don't shine!

D5 #4, we already work 60-80 hr weeks so honestly more money would definitely make that feel a little less miserable. (And if you aren’t please tell me what department you’re in)

And the fact that - I can’t speak for all departments - we’ve been losing clients and work loads thus not really needing to rehire as much as people think. It’s more of giving the current hard-working employees more opportunities where deserved and actually making employees feel like they are valued and respected.

D5 #3, not commenting on anything else, because I don’t know, but if you took the $ from people who left voluntarily and gave it to people who stayed, instead of using it to hire replacements, you’d be richer, but also expected to work 60-80hr weeks each week to cover the slack. So assuming that $ is being saved for replacement hires.

Hi all. I am trying to determine if I am being compensated fairly. I am a tax manager (about to start my second year as manager) and have been with EY since staff 1. I was promoted to manager in June 2020 (during covid) and received a 7.5% raise. The class above me has mentioned they received much higher raises during their promotion years. My base salary is now approx. 97K. Any insights would be extremely helpful. Thanks!

I’m an associate attorney at a mid-size family law practice. (5 attorneys, 3 support staff). I’ve been here for 3 years and just asked for a raise to $130k from $90k. My annual billable target is 1400. However, since I’ve been here I’ve barely broken 1000 despite working my ass off. I bill out at $375. They told me no more raises unless I start taking my own cases. Now they just hired a new associate and are paying him $170k and he takes his own cases. Am I being unreasonable asking for $130k?
