Can someone please explain why I'm responsible for my manager's good mood? He comes into the office in a pissy mood because of some personal drama, and if we can't cheer him up, our day will be hell. Shouldn't people in leadership be better at regulating their own moods?

He isn’t a child, so unlike a child who woke up on the wrong side of the bed you should try to make him snap.

Miserable people should be run out of the profession, let him sit in a home office by himself and work on 1040’s.

A few bad days here and there are a part of life. But when it extended over a long period of time it a different story.

That's a normal behavior in public accounting, especially in large firms...a good advice...stay out of it, not worthy the extra hours and stress, plus you gotta put up with this type of characters.

I recently interviewed for a role at Goldman Sachs and completed all the levels. After the final interview HR sent me a link to fill out the Compensation Questionnaire and requested for related documents. Next day, another HR called me for some clarification and told me that they are going to request for some approvals. Does this mean I can expect an offer letter? If yes, how long will that process take?
