Anyone here at MRM McCann that is open to chatting ?

I’m studying for the SHRM-CP with the Mometrix (study guides, online course, and flash cards), however I’m super overwhelmed with all of the information. What are some best practices to ensure I grasp all of the concept ? Any advice would be much appreciated!!!

Im intending to resign and I've shared it with my boss. I will officialise this next week. However, I think my director (his boss) would be giving me a hard time for the whole month of notice... how should I go about this? Thanks a million in advance.

Any recs for insightful and well written books on entrepreneurship? Friend is trying to launch his own startup so I’m thinking of sending him a relevant book as part of a thank you gift

SPHR exam- has anyone ever been “randomly selected” for an application audit? This just happened to me and the sheer amount of effort that is going to go into collecting all the documents almost makes me not want to follow through. Since I didn’t finish undergrad, they’re asking for a copy of my high school diploma or transcript and that itself is going to be an absolute nightmare to get hold of. Guess I’m not really looking for a solution here, just venting.

This might sound silly but if the job is still posted after you've done your loop, is that an indication the team is still looking? It's day 2 after my loop so excuse my anxiety.

How much onroute pays to General manager

Had my annual review Friday (first year with the company). Boss awarded a 3% raise though she said my review was “90% positive.” Worth adding I got a 3% sign on bonus last year, so I’m basically at 0% raise. Nobody under me has gotten less than a 7% raise in the past year. Considering promotions + counter offers as well, it goes as high as 25%. I don’t feel a 3% raise matches a “90% positive” review and plan to bring up the cognitive dissonance I’m feeling. Any other tips or advice to add?

Will people on notice period get hike letters?

I’m relocating to the US from an international rotation to work in Galveston. I have never been to Texas and I am trying to find the best spot for my family to live in. So far from reading online it sounds like Pearland is a good option but I have not been able to validate that/ figure out what other options are out there. I would appreciate all advice:
1. Would you recommend living in Pearland?
2. What are other good areas to live in? Safe and would like to be less than 1 hour from Galveston.

Hello all! So I’m currently a Realtor in LA. Prior to being a Realtor, I was a store manager for a luxury store in Beverly Hills. I was kind of forced to get out of retail when the pandemic hit so my only option at the time was to jump in to real estate as I already had my license. I’ve been feeling unfulfilled with real estate and truly miss luxury retail. Does anyone have any referrals for luxury retail jobs in Los Angeles? I would love to hear from you! Thank you for taking reading my post!

Hi All, need your advice!
How often is it okay to switch organizations? I know this is entirely specific to a particular situation /circumstance but just wanted to know, how often should one change companies, without coming into scrutiny for the same?

Just took a grenade (2 shots & Red Bull) at a bar across the street then walked back into work casually. You know it's been a bad week.... anyone else snuck out to make work more enjoyable?

So why do company merges result in mass layoffs?

How long do you really think you’ll stay in advertising? What does your career trajectory look like? I was recently asked and it took me by surprise for a second tbh. The most obvious answer was “work my way up to CD.” But what about becoming a super seasoned and experienced creative forever? 🤷‍♀️

Which portable standing desk converters do people have and recommend. I live in a tiny NYC apartment so use my dining table as the office during the day but need to put it away at night.

Fishbowl is better than Facebook and Twitter and Linkedin combined! Best sounding board and advice without (mostly) the trolls 👏👏👏

How did your agency handle layoffs? All-agency meeting before they started? After they ended? Both?

Kinda sorta trying to predict if I’m losing my job tomorrow.

Burnetters, what’s the story behind Britt Nolan leaving?

It looks like a TV spot. It’s scripted like a TV spot. It last 30 seconds. But my boss forbids me to say it’s a tv commercial. Instead it’s online digital content. Yes, that will make the trick.

Is it normal for an agency to give you only 48 hrs to accept an offer? I need more time to think and process. I asked for two extra days because I just don’t want to make a rash decision they said no
