Have any freelancers worked through weekends with RGA and dealt with the “discretionary bonus” structure rather than being paid your day rate? Please advise.

I freelanced there when the pandemic was in full swing. Meaning there weren’t as many gigs as there are right now. I was happy for the work and put in a few weekend hours without thinking I’d be compensated. They never forced me to, it was a case of me tweaking my own scripts or letting them get changed by the full time CDs. I chose the former.

Turned out they paid a generous bonus a month after I’d left. It was way more than the overtime I would’ve been owed. I’d completely forgotten about it so it was a nice surprise. Point is, it’s not BS.

Appreciate it. When we were asked to work outside the agreed time we reached out to Atrium and RGA to clarify how we would be compensated for the extra time. That’s when we receive the above quoted response. We’ll see if they can honor their word as promised.

Beware. They love a weekly rate and then you’ll work like every weekend and they will toss you a 1k extra for your trouble

Hi all, I got laid off from my current company (product based) a month ago. Since then I've been looking for new opportunities. I got an offer from a good product based company with a good package and also my current company offering me rehire with promotion and a good package. I have a good rapport with my current manager, and he played a major role in offering this rehire opportunity. I'm confused about making the right decision here. Kindly share your views. Both offers are pretty much same.

Any Bridge Engineers/Structural Engineers in here? I got my PE this year and have 5 YOE in TX + an MS. What sort of raise would you expect for receiving your PE working in a consulting firm? I am EOR on a number of structures in development, I manage EITs and Drafters (within projects; I'm not a supervisor), and am doing a lot in general. I'm at 78k currently, which is apparently still in the upper range of EIT salaries per a job posting in CO. I'm thinking of 15% (5% merit, 10% PE). Any ideas?
