Dear IPG, don’t tell us we have unlimited time off when you are making me tell an employee she cannot go on her 2 week honeymoon anymore after she asked for it a year in advance because overall billables for the company are down.

That’s so wrong. I’d tell the person who told me to do that that I wouldn’t do it. She scheduled it a year in advance!!

And, what about IPG trying to reduce employee stress. Yup. Actions like this will really help.

Whaaaaat who suggested such a thing? Before I left IPG I had coworkers taking off every other week more or less with no abandon.

No way!

Stocks offered, unlimited PTO, and 70% Medical covered. Offer B. Is at a business much larger…90k salary with 10% bonus and generous stock offering. Titles are different which is why the pay is much different. I know some may think it is a no brainer but offer A allows me to grow the department ground up whereas offer B id be apart of to just different

Our company of 110 EEs has separate providers for payroll and HRIS, not happy with either products. I’m gathering data to make a pitch to move everything into an all-in-one HRIS + payroll.

Does it make any difference to make the change effective the first week of 2023 payroll, or to make a change in payroll providers mid year? I’m thinking it’s best to start fresh at the beginning of the year and not worry about two payroll companies for reporting. What are other things to consider?
