Anyone hear about Samsung cleaning out their marketing team out of the New York office? Seems strange considering they just launched a new phone.

Wow! I heard folks at WK talking about their Samsung client making ridiculous side requests for perks. Sounds like they got off lucky in some cases if true.

Did not realize this until now researching the company/agencies as I have an interview at Samsung today (attempting to jump agency ship!). Has it gotten better with changing of the guard?

Depends what position/group

I worked 2 years for CTS and got recognized from global VPs for the projects I completed and business I gave. But they never even talked about promotion or calling me on-site after assuring it. Even the mail of recognition from my manager came a month later. This is how laid back CTS can be in India and now after keeping my papers they just came up after days saying we want to retain you as you are valuable asset and will send to on-site but it will take 2 months. This is when my LWD is in Oct 1

She keeps me company during the work day and has an uncanny ability to wake up and need attention at 4:57pm. Bonus points for sleeping right on my docked laptop.

My EOY review is coming up. Here I plan to lobby for a promotion/raise (been at company for 1.5 yrs). Some backstory: During my hiring process I was told by my now boss and VP they were also going to hire a senior engineer to help me along. They never hired such senior engineer because I have over performed and do more than they thought I could (have been told this in 2 performance reviews). Thus, is it fair to ask for a raise and promotion to Senior engineer?
