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

The creative team is cutting back my content. I’ve explained to them that this will hurt their SEO, but they don’t seem to care. I'm sure they’ll freak out when they see the lack of organic growth.

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.
