Normalize being pissed at your Partners for losing a teammate mid-project at a crucial time because your teammate got a better offer elsewhere. We should not blame them

I know most don't blame them but we rarely blame our leaders for losing them and that needs to change.

Happy weekend, everyone

Got laid off on Friday. Three days and I'm already bored out of my mind. Besides Jim, what are people doing to pass the time in between job hunting?

I have a partner on my project who is full of feedback and suggestions but has never once said thank you to the team for their hard work or acknowledged our strengths. He comes off as very lecturey but the project is going according to plan and the client is happy. I think a little positive feedback would go a long way. Would it be rude of me as PM to ask the partner to strike a more positive, encouraging tone in meetings?

Can anyone explain the levels at Deloitte Digital and what the Salary and total comp ranges are? I’m especially interested in Manager and up.
