Some people let their employers treat them any kind of way. I wish a mf would. If I sign a non usurpation agreement you better make a partner or give me non usurpation money. Hard stop.

Were these increases promised to you in some way?

Lolol you let them do this to you? Like… WHAT

Depends on what is in your contract (if you have one) and what jurisdiction you reside/work in. What state in the USA, what country? This is really an employment law question for a lawyer that cant be answered without more detail

Hello Technie's,
I am in a confused state of mind with my current situation & I can surely use some advice from you guys.
I'm working with a product company for almost 5+ yrs now & recently decided to separate from them for obvious compensation reasons.
I have multiple offers now with product/service based companies.
The top and the best offer I have is from a service based organization of almost 100% hike.
Now my company wants to retain me & offering me even higher. What should I do?

Hey all, looking to move to EY as a Senior Consultant in the Finance Transformation practice. Could anyone help me understand what’s the salary range for this role? Or more generally, the ranges for different Senior Consultant roles in the firm? Thanks for your help.

When I was hired, I don't recall being informed about my salary being tied to my location. My employment contract also only makes one mention of location, and says "home office" and my state. I was recently told by HR though that if I move, my comp. will be lower. Is this legal? Should I consult a labor lawyer?

In my mind, I don't recall being told this and it's not clear from my employment contract, so I feel like they're breaking our agreement, and it feels unfair.

Thoughts on what to do?
