Hello, I need an outside perspective: is this because leadership is monitoring me or my counterpart (towards a pip)? Or I’m overthinking this?

I’m a manager and I wanted to share an idea with a counterpart (Jane) that isn’t a manager but reports to my boss’s boss (Jennifer). But in many ways we (Jane and I) are the same level.

So I email Jane the idea. Later, Jennifer tells me that I need to CC [Jennifer] on any emails to Jane so that she is in the know.

It sounds like Jennifer is a micromanager.

I don’t think it’s a reflection on you, more so on how Jennifer likes to operate

Agree. I would also be careful with what you share with Jane. How did Jennifer find out you emailed Jane?

Senior engineer making 135k and I was offered a promotion to engineering manager after completing a development plan. Near the end of the plan and I expect compensation talks to start soon. Based on some research around Boston and my role in the company, I feel 165k plus 10-15% bonus is fair. Nonetheless, first time going through something like this and asking for thoughts and comments. Thanks!

Hi ! I have gotten an offer via email for what I believe is level 9 data visualization specialist in the dc area. I have a masters and 3.5 years of consulting experience. I’ve gotten an initial offer and trying to get some context on what the range is for this and whether I should push for more or accept. It is 5,000 above what I said my minimum was, but is significantly more than my current salary. Thanks for any input :)
