Any and all insight appreciated. I am 2 months in at my current position working for a logistics company. The company is only 3 years old and we had the unfortunate news 1 month ago that there would be layoffs. After those layoffs we’ve had 2 members of our sales team resign. I’m nervous about the direct of the market and I do not know how to approach getting more information on the standing of the company. I feel that I don’t know my bosses well enough to get a solid answer that I trust (more)

(Cont.) nor the tenure to ensure my position’s safety. I am doing really well, bringing in more money with my customer than we have seen before my arrival and I am truly enjoying the work. Is there an appropriate approach to getting more information from my superiors? Should I search for jobs behind the scenes just in case? Also not sure how to approach a job search if I don’t want to move jobs unless something happens here.

It may seem obvious, but in my experience partners value trial experience over anything else, so get it however you can.

Even trying a case and losing gives you credibility at my firm because you still did it.

What is a typical promotion pay increase?

I was given a promotion 6mos ago & told that the position was a lateral move & a raise would be given at my 6 month mark. Throughout my time at time at this company I’ve realized that they call people in to give their raise on the exact date of milestones (i.e: 6 mos, 1yr, & so on). It’s now been one week since my 6 months in this new position. I’d like to reach out to my boss and set up a meeting to review my work & discuss a raise. Should I wait a bit longer or should I set this up now?

I began a new position 2 months ago and took on a managerial position where I oversee a team and a week ago, my manager and I was discussing a delay that happened and how she gave my team feedback and suddenly she said to me that she doesn’t mind restructuring the team and make it a team where everyone reports to her. She also said that the only reason she is “allowing” me to lead is to gain management experience. I was shocked because I got hired as an experienced manager. What would you do?
