This is the functional advice I’m looking for, thank you

He’s your manager. Your boss. He has the right and responsibility to others to know what you’ve accomplished and what you’re working on. “If there’s nothing going on,” your manager might decide that you’re no longer needed … and you can be home everyday. Respect the position. Demo your value. Or quit.

OP - there’s no mandatory In-office requirement, you still go in, and your manager STILL hounds you over “where you’ve been”???? Okay yeah this on them, not you.

Bad assumptions:

- that the commenter is male

Further assumptions: that the poster is allowed to WFH and is following the company guidelines to do. The post makes it sounds like he/she/they decided to do so on their own. And many responders quickly jumped to their side. Sorry folks, but WFH options are now being replaced with RTW, time clocks, corporate over site, and accountability of work and time. But you are free to find another employer if you don’t like it.

Depending on who told me that, I might say "so nice to see you too!" :)

Will it look like I took the easy way out if I chose my segment? They know it’s my current audience and has been for 8 yrs. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Why has real estate remained lucrative?
Mainly agents but also developers.

The barrier to entry is low, not even sure if graduating high school is needed. My old agent even said she did it bc she can make a lot money and not work that much. She drove a new Mercedes and sent her kids to private school, husband was also an agent.

So I’m curious why it didn’t get flooded and the profit margin dampened to a $/hr closer to other jobs with similarly easy entry?

This is twice now in back to back weeks my boss has asked me where the disconnect was in our communications because I didn’t deliver on what “was asked”, even though I know damn well what was asked and what was done were the same thing. I’m not sure if he’s changing the meaning or isn’t communicating what he’s envisioning or what but it’s embarrassing to be called out like that, and to have people think you’re the dumb 23 year old.

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?
