Apparently I'm "the loudest and pushiest sales guy on the planet". Well maybe that's what it takes when you're in a field where it's sort of your job to be 'loud and pushy'. I kinda see this as a compliment but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't affecting me and nudging me to be less of both... or making me want to start a fight at work. Which one would you pick for me? Haha

Partners, what is your magic number (in terms of dollars in the bank), after which you intend to retire?

Cash out speculative stock portfolio (tech and fin holdings) and buy more cryto?

Has anyone invested in a franchise? Is it worth the time as a side gig potentially turning into a path for business ownership?

Anyone here works at Brillio? How good is the company for opportunities?

Has anyone used fundrise? What are your thoughts? Is it worth checking out?

I hope he’s in as much pain as I am. The way he ended it was so cold and selfish and unlike how he was any other time with me. It was like a personality switch. I’ve never been so wrong about someone. I’m not sure how to process or recover from that part of it.

Are salaries negotiable at performance review and/or promotion?

No amount of coffee is doing it today. Energy and focus at an all time low.

What are typical exit opportunities from financial reporting?

Just curious to know

Vaccinated and going to Chicago for a graduation. What is the bar situation right now? Possible to walk in or are reservations necessary? And any bar recs are appreciated (staying near Gold Coast).

London: what attractions should you go IN vs. just seeing from outside (example: do Buckingham Palace tour vs. just seeing it from outside)

Go-to outfit for client meetings?

Joining D soon in S&O. Apparently my group has exposure to Monitor projects on occasion. Anyone in Monitor free to connect so I can confirm a couple of things?
Thanks

Looking for an SM+ leader in healthcare financial due diligence and analytics to join our team. DM for more information!

Alright, Fishbowl - whats the juiciest gossip you heard this week at work?

Why are people not good at ending zoom calls? I feel like I’m always the person who throws in the closing statement (I.e, ok well sounds good is that all? Have a nice day! This was helpful thanks Karyn..looks like we’re at top of the hour already) 🤦🏻‍♀️

So overheard after work:

I left a company a while back and a coworker of mine that also left just informed me that one of the C level execs has an SEC decision against him for embezzling several million.

This was from before I worked there...

“I feel like I’m the stupidest person here”
“You are not stupid. You literally work at one of the top consulting firms in the world”
“I literally got a 6% in one exam during undergrad”
“Well damn I guess you are stupid”

“This report is like a bikini. What it is showing is interesting; what is beneathbthe cover is crucial.”

So, some of my co-workers simply said that they want to go ahead and start something or start looking elsewhere (career change) because they don't know how much it will last at the pace we are going in regards to case intake and pay out. Should I start panicking or simply start looking elsewhere? They even they even told me if I was looking elsewhere or planned on doing so also. I found it weird in a way.

This is twice now in back to back weeks my boss has asked me where the disconnect was in our communications because I didn’t deliver on what “was asked”, even though I know damn well what was asked and what was done were the same thing. I’m not sure if he’s changing the meaning or isn’t communicating what he’s envisioning or what but it’s embarrassing to be called out like that, and to have people think you’re the dumb 23 year old.

AE: I need to take off this afternoon to the attend my grandmother’s funeral.
Owner: Why? She’ll be dead tomorrow too.

“We had complimenting genitalia.”

“Fuck it I’m going to PDF this bitch"

"We hear your responses to our anonymous pulse survey, and we understand you all overwhelmingly think our team structure org needs to change. We understand it's not necessarily working well—but here's why we're NOT going to change it."
Why ask us if you really don't care?

“Those glasses don’t make you look younger, they make you look older—but slightly more cool.”

I was recently promoted, and now part of my team report to me. I'm now able to see their pay rates and I am honestly so disappointed in the company. Especially since we just gave annual raises in Feb, plus we can all see where the money is going and it's not to the employees. Makes me sick

“Circumcision makes your dick look like it’s wearing a tailored suit. Circumcised is James Bond. Uncircumcised is James Out-On-Bond"

From a UX Director... “Design is everything. You’re nothing without design.” Excuse me?

Today someone quit and just straight up walked out of the office. Like something you'd see in a movie. My jaw is still open. You ever seen this happen?

"I don’t like morning people. Or morning. Or people”

Words of Wisdom

“Bad news, we’ve had to eliminate the position that we were supposed to finalize your promotion to. Good news, your current position is still available and the prestige of your current role is now increased”
Not the money, not the title, bonus or anything, but oh the prestige.

So a higher up made a new rule that for a service we offer , we have to offer it to the customers three times and If they say no a manager has to get involved and document. it is this not wrong?
