Does your company have a lot of team events? My company has only a few in office events but team outings varies by department. My department doesn’t do outings at all but I have heard other teams have fancy outings such as fancy dinners, cruise events, etc. Why does it varies by team?

Normally, I would say you’re lucky your department doesn’t make you do those team outings, but it actually sounds like you’re getting the short end of the stick. My company does quarterly after hours events. I’d love to skip these but they’re kind of unofficially mandatory.

Money and politics. Those departments probably have bigger budgets or the connections necessary to acquire them.

My company does some happy hours but we have two on-site events where they bring everyone in, even anyone that’s remote, and we do a Christmas party and summer social. It’s a great perk and I’ve very thankful they haven’t cut budget for this. As far as it varying team to team, for us, it depends on the location of the team (if everyone is in office or if they have to travel in) that helps determine the budget

Does anyone think it’s out of the question to ask for a 20% pay increase without a promotion? My duties on our team are closer to Director-level and no other Senior PM is managing half of what I am, so I feel like I should be compensated fairly.

Hi everyone,
I passed my PMP thanks to this sub group.
I have passed Above Target in the People section, and T in the other sections.
It was 95% situational questions.
Thave used AR's mock exams, and used my wrong answers to figure out my weakness and where I truly stand. I didn't purchase AR's course, just the mock exam simulator.
The 200 agile questions by David McLachlan were amazing, it really helped me in adapting to an agile mindset. TIA simulator n Joseph Phillip is useful.
