Any word on possible hiring or promotion freeze from you bank? Fingers crossed not this year. We should get some relief soon. I am really banking on a promotion.

I've heard nothing about actual announced hiring or promotion freezes. But I would not be shocked if they're already in place, essentially stealth freezes. It would make sense. With the possibility of the US being forced into a recession being taken seriously, people will tend to slow walk hiring. Doesn't look like an auspicious time to be adding anyone to the payroll.

Hi everyone - We are thinking of changing our wedding photographer after unsatisfactory engagement photos and unsatisfactory communication (unresponsive after multiple attempts). We paid a $450 retainer which we know will be not refundable. However, we are not sure about other liability as we read our contract and found these 2 clauses (in comments). Please advise! Definitely not happy with her and would like to switch to another one but also want to make sure we make the right move. Thanks!

Looking for advice: I have an analyst (9 months on the job) who still doesn’t get it - repeatedly misses comments, doesn’t follow instructions, slow, etc. I have raised this to both my MDs and they seem to be adopting a “not my problem” approach when I mention it. I had advised against hiring this analyst post internship and my MD insisted that all the issues I highlighted were fixable. I have tried teaching him to no avail and frustration with him is growing. Any suggestions for how to handle?
