Directors and partners, do you feel any type of way when your team tells you something along the lines of “this is just a job/paycheck to me”?

On one level I accept and understand the sentiment.

On the other hand, I feel bad for anyone spending this much time on something only to have a half-assed attitude. It’s one thing to be balanced and have a robust life outside of work (I do); it’s another to be defeatist where you spend most of your waking hours.

We don’t have any other choice.

No. That’s all fine as long as they do the work. I don’t expect them to be in love with the job.

They shouldn’t. But if it impActs their bonus / comp that’s when it gets ugly.

It is only a job/paycheck thingie for me too.

Hi EY Folks,
What is the process of background verification in EY GDS?
1.BGV is conducted by first advantage and they have asked information only for last employment and not for all of my previous employment.
2. Offer letter says mandatory documents to be submitted (last 2 employers as applicable).
3. They do background verification from only last two employers or all the employers?

Have people received inflationary raises? My dad received a letter stating that they’re giving him a 6.5% raise + a one time lump sum of $750 bc of inflation, retroactive to July 1st. He works for a university and is part of a union. Kind of feel like my company is being shady because I work in CRE & we do raises + bonuses in February which was when I was planning to ask for an inflationary raise. But I feel like a lot of companies have done this without having their employees ask?
