Mistakes can happen, we are all human.
I'd give them a few days to see if the money hits your account.

If no, then you may want to question why your payments have been delayed and when you can expect to receive the amounts owed.

Commission always is tricky, especially when you work in n org that isn’t super mature. Normally Finance and HR will process commissions and then there are due dates for payrolls etc. My Org failed to pay me 90k commission for a larger deal on time and ran two months late, simply because no one felt responsible. Have moved to giving my manager early alerts whenever something new is due (we have deal based commissions)

So I have family situation I've been dealing with and yesterday at a company function outside the office, my supervisor brought it up in front of a bunch of people. First of all highly inappropriate, but also it's nobody's business. She's made comments before outside of work about how her boss is gay, blah blah blah. I'm just at a loss. Should I report it to HR? And if I do, how do I do it without it being known that it came from me??

Just started a new role in finance and I’m the only woman on the team. It’s been 3 weeks and the guys have been pretty unwelcoming and kind of rude.

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something. Half of the time you go to meet with him in person, he’s either on a call or otherwise busy. I find that this basically creates more work and makes meeting deadlines extremely difficult. Is this normal?

Trying to figure out if I should start as an inbound SDR, or try jumping straight into an AE role in SaaS.

I left mortgages at the beginning of the year to start a franchise business, it's now semi-self-sufficient so wanted to start a career again and I live in the Silicon Slopes area. Everyone I know is in SaaS or software engineering.

Just wondering if I should push my resume as far as possible and try to snag an AE role or take my time in a new industry and start from the bottom.

Do sales engineers need to create their own slide decks for demos or can they walk through the software itself? Thanks!
