I always brief new team members because I hate being thrown into the fire myself especially if it's a sinking ship... Even or especially when I'm not the lead. I find people tend to skip it when they're over capacity but ultimately creates more work for you later and anxiety for the new person.

S&P Global Anyone here work at S&P Global? I’m a project manager who has been with the company for a few years. My position has changed at review time the last few years, so I’ve never gone through the raise process. What percentages have you seen with the company? I’m feeling a bit overworked at this point and don’t want to have my expectations higher than what is reasonable, but also feel like I’ll need a large-ish chunk of cash to feel better about how much I’m working.
