Employees, Customers Robbed At Gunpoint Inside 24-Hour River North Diner, Police Say
Three armed men entered Griddle 24 early Thursday, took cash from the register and people inside, and fled in a black sedan, police said.

I used to walk by here a lot when I went to Bounce (back when it was still in business). I figured this place must have great security to operate 24 hours. Turns out it doesn’t.

I’m a Junior product manager with a Master’s in Healthcare Management. I feel like the current company that I am at has my title as JPM, but I am doing PM work i.e creating product roadmaps, collaborating across stakeholders (business, marketing, design teams), creating user stories/features, etc. and I feel like my work isn’t being valued and I’m constantly being micromanaged by business teams expectations.

How feasible is it for me to apply to a PM role with less than a year of experience?

Planning on leaving after this busy season. Finding it hard to have motivation, while also having to work more hours than ever before. Advice?

I have two offers in hand. KPMG and Deloitte. CTC is almost same whereas variable is more in KPMG. I am inclined towards Deloitte India. But HR in KPMG told me that I won't be able to join KPMG India in future as I accepted their offer. I informed her within 2 weeks and didn't do anything for onboarding. I didn't ask to increase the amount or JB and I strongly believe I informed early so they can look for other candidates. Is this bluff? Any HR here to clarify

Anyone have advice for advancing in your current role? My co-worker was hired in at manager level but somehow “proved” he was actually doing director level work and got a title promotion and salary increase in less than a year. I also went above and beyond my job as well (covering for him for a month while he was away on paternity leave) while taking on other projects outside of my job title and got zip—no raise or recognition. Any advice would be appreciated!

Hi Can someone refer me for Citi plese. Would really appreciate.

Due to a recent company-wide increase and additional pay for bilingual direct reports I am only making a dollar and change above them as their supervisor. I was hired into this position in March, having been the first employee in this department. I really tried to get them to budge on salary, they did not, but shortly after accepting they gave the whole company a dollar raise.

Any suggestions on how this might be addressed?

Mate, I am one of the best securities traders you can find in the country, contact me today for a deal.

Listen, 80% of my clients have already closed this half with over £600,000 in the green with an average deposit of £125,000 and a minimum of £250!

That's a better margin than most small business owners make in a year.
