A NY agency is asking me to work on site come September, I said of course. My true intentions? Working remotely from Florida for life. How would y’all handle this issue when pandemic is over (if it that ever happens)?

Betting hard that things don’t turn to normal in September, especially with all the all spikes happening. Any company that is making those plans is kidding itself.

I want to work from south Italy forever, but life is not that simple. Jobs are like a business trade. You need to give something back to the other side. If they want you in the office, you have the option to say no, but they also have that option.

Stay in Florida. Please!

So you accepted the role, and they’re expecting you to be on site, you agreed but you have no intention of following through? Is this a FT role or contract/freelance? Were you previously based in NY or did you say you were interested in moving but really aren’t?

Tell them you want to work remote take it or leave it 🤷‍♂️

They are probably trying to justify their office costs. If they were smart they would have closed that office right away and gone remote until the virus is done, which could be way longer than September.

I think you need to be honest with them. Lying will come back to bite you somehow

Anomaly?

If you practice collections in-house, what do you earn and do you receive a bonus?

I have practiced for five years and make $121k as an employee of a financial services company. As the only attorney, I oversee all statewide collections efforts, from demand letter to garnishment, with a case volume of nearly 7k new cases per year, of which the majority I end up litigating. I receive only a $1k bonus per year. Is my compensation fair? My last insurance defense gig was $75k.

I'm working at a startup where I feel like I've spent as much time trying to deal with product issues vs working on roadmap items. I get this is bound to happen in a start up but is this common?

I’m excited for my wedding but it’s almost 9 months away and I started planning it over a year ago. However, whenever I’m around friends/family it’s the only thing people want to talk to me about.

I work full time & I’m in school right now so I’m stressed about those things and I don’t know how to communicate that I’d just rather not talk about the wedding without sounding ungrateful/happy
