Our employee satisfaction survey is tied to our performance goals. Meaning, if we rate management badly, we cannot meet 10% of our goals which in turn affects our bonuses and raises. We asked HR but they didn’t do anything about it. Is this normal? Is this legal? If not, what else can we do about it?

I just had a colleague ask me my opinion on a few cars since she’s buying her daughter’s first car. Went through a few brands trying to get a sense of where her mind was, and as soon as I mentioned VW she said “oh, they’re owned by Mercedes and we had bad experiences with Mercedes years ago.”

What comically incorrect car things have your coworkers said to you about cars?

It is so painful seeing PwC and Deloitte folks posting about ratings, promotions, and raises knowing that EY won’t have any official word on anything for 1-2 months.

Anyone have thoughts on exit opportunities after consulting & b school - I have seen a lot of peers going to later stage startup companies or tech but wanted to field a view from this bowl on what I could 'recruit' for. For context starting my MBA at a top 10 program in the fall.

I give the clients gold, but they decide instead, they want me to paint it with sh*t.

How is the background verification done in SAP labs... Is permanent address verified? No one stays in my permanent address and it's kind of abandoned, will it pose a problem...

And also... What employment verification is done? Is it deep in terms of roles held,
. Etc?

Any places hiring spring interns?
