Co-worker just messaged me on Slack - it's her first year with us -
CW: "Hey, how does holiday time work? Christmas is a saturday. Do we get the week off?"

IEP, 504, and those without internet will return in-person next week while rest of students remain remote. Regular Ed teachers may have students (mild Learning Disabled kiddos) in their room while teaching. They are saying it’s a liability issue if they have one student in the room with them, even though teaching other via Zoom. Thoughts? Anyone else experiencing this?

Hi, does anyone know when an employee becomes eligible for maternity/paternity leave at either Gilead, BMS, or Merck? For NVS, it’s day 1 of employment but not sure if that’s common within the industry.

Got an offer for SE III at a large tech company. Product I'd be working on interests me and I think I could grow more than in my current role.

Currently I make 180k base and have ISO/RSUs @ startup (60k/yr worth on paper, but won't be worth anything for a few years, if at all).

The offer is:
Base: $166,500
Target Bonus: 10% ($16,650)
RSU: 120k total (30k/yr)

Thoughts on offer? Should I counter?

Additionally there's a yearly target RSU bonus about equal to the cash bonus. Thoughts? 4.5 YOE

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?

I keep seeing people say this is the new normal. But it really isn't, this is a temporary normal.

Anyone have a suggestion for a nice bracelet or ring for a college graduate gift (up to $500)? Thank you in advance! :)

Ive been a copywriter for ~5 years but finding more interest in UX copywriting. (aka short form copy) I’m trying to get into the tech side of things while keeping some of my creative as well. I also just got my UX certificate through a writing academy so I feel pretty confident about switching.

Does this sound like a realistic transition?

Recent graduate with Bachelors of Health Science in Workplace Health and Wellness. Currently working in a Healthcare job but as a client service coordinator. Really would like to get a job in my field. If anyone has suggestions/recommendations please share. Within GTA would be great if not, remote anywhere works.

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.

“There are so many layers of Daddy. Book coming soon. How to get one, how to be one, how to keep one!”

Heard from me:

“Oh, junior person, you have edits to the monthly activity report 3 days after your deadline to review the report, and after I sent it to the client? How lovely for you."

“The shaft is not always welcome, but but hole always is.”

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

I give the clients gold, but they decide instead, they want me to paint it with sh*t.

“Chatroulette, but for apartment peepholes."

“You have a good looking face. But your body is absolute junk."

I made an announcement during our team meeting that I'll be taking another job offer. My petty boss said, "Well now that we have a little more budget, the rest of you will be getting raises!"

Just to be 100% clear, this entire platform is anonymous, right?

How you came into the company will define your path. That’s why you’ll never be successful switching departments.

So overheard after work:

This was from before I worked there...

What type of background check do HF/PE/VC forms so these days? Employment, education and felonies are a given (I think) but is fingerprinting and drug testing still in the mix? How about credit score?
