CBIZ has not approved promotions and raises, even though they were communicated as being effective September 1st. This inconsistency is creating significant frustration. Please follow through on what is communicated: if meetings are promised before promotions and raises take effect, hold them; if September 1st is given as the effective date, honor it. The lack of follow-through is causing considerable unrest among the legacy Marcum team.

There really is such a direct correlation between cringey title and cringey posts.

Before LinkedIn...to me, the king of professional cringey was Shingy. Do you guys remember him? He was aol's overpaid "digital prophet" and got paid to visit companies at lunchtime and babble the same kind of nonsense we now call "LinkedIn cringe".

How do you make a jump into cybersecurity? Currently doing technology implementation right now.

I’ve been approved for a transfer to the AUS office. Early 30s couple, no kids, small dog. Wife will work for the state but doesn’t have an office assigned yet. Looking for a SFH (that isn’t soullessly modern) in the 600-700k range that will suit our interests: walk to a grocery store, maybe a restaurant or two, commute to work in <30 min.

Dallas folk. I am replanting myself to your city and I am now starting to look into places to live at. Any suggestions on locations? Any recommendations on a good orthodontist? Anything else I should know about your city?

Curious what others think about this: a friend of mine has a couple of months of leave this fall to study for the CPA exam (they’ll be paid a reduced salary during their leave), but they mentioned they have no intention of studying for the exam, and instead plan to use that time to look for another job. This rubs me the wrong way, but wanted to hear what others think…
