Have you ever turned down a job because the bonus structure felt too unpredictable? Some companies throw out big bonus potential to make up for a lower base—does that actually influence you?

I dont care for bonus, I want my base and benefits. If they arent decent I am not taking the role.

Agreed

Agreed, ignore bonuses when it comes to offers unless they’re written in as guaranteed. I’ve seen guaranteed bonuses involved for retention but other than that they can’t ever be relied upon.

Depends on the bonus structure. If it’s based on you hitting certain metrics that are in my control, I’d consider it. If they change metrics every year or are based on things I can’t control (company performance, department performance, etc.) hell no.

on the way to an interview this morning eating a sandwich. I walked past a homeless man who had a stray cat perched on his lap. He asked for a bite of sandwich to feed them both as they hadn’t eaten in days. I gave the whole sandwich over and headed off to the interview. As I got to the interview room there was a large executive chair facing away from me. The chair turned and on top was a mirror. When looking in the mirror I could see the cat. I am the cat. Truly inspirational when you work hard

All this talk about firms doing stealth layoffs has me spooked. Any BigLaw firms in Dallas doing this? I’ve noticed some surprising associates leave my firm over the past couple of months and suspect at least some of them were ice-outs…

Why would a luxury watch brand make/sell connected or smart watches? What is the business reason for it? To me it just kills the brand value. For instance I was a big fan of Montblanc but after I see their smart watch line up I instantly devalued the brand in general. Same for Tag (tag is questionable anyways), or Breitling. What is your opinion on this topic?
