Hearing a lot of people getting their offers pulled, especially from tech companies. Not be stranded in limbo. Be careful

Not to be “that guy” but what could you possibly be working on for 7 weeks? I’ve given 4 weeks before bc I was a lawyer and I had a ton of cases but I wrapped all of it up in like two weeks and I was just sitting in my office bored for another two. Is your current employer making you do this?

VP1, it's not always the like for like replacement at work and in some cases, niche skills and handing over the tool that you built requires proper handover following adequate trainings. Especially if you have a good relationship with the mgr you are leaving.

You should’ve told your new employer that you’d be walking away from some bonuses as part of your salary negotiation.

Absolutely. This should have been used to leverage sign on bonus. Especially considering His/Her payout will be after they have resigned, and their line Manager will have to manage allocations of the bonus funds amongst other employees :)

I need to stay an additional 3 weeks at current place to qualify for a yearly performance bonus. Obviously can't tell that new employer so was not sure how to word it

Why can’t you tell your new employer that? That’s exactly what you SHOULD tell them. They’ll likely be way more amicable to give you a later start date OR they’ll give you a sign on bonus to leave early.

Why do you really want to extend to 7 weeks? You can try work extra/overtime to cover the extra three weeks. Don't keep your new employer waiting for you for an extra 3 weeks and you are not like an executive or something. They might end up contacting someone else to do the job or they pull the offer especially right now tech companies are just laying off people.

I feel you, you are in a rock and a hard place. At this point just discuss with your new employer the current situation. If they can't match the bonus alternatively ask them to give you that extra 3 weeks.

It's taken them 2 weeks to complete. We're still getting customer complaints about it. No one can explain why it took 2 weeks to complete.

Hi everyone,

I'm currently working with management on a promotional offer. I've never negotiated before, and always accepted the first offer
My question is, I have identified a certain range that I feel better aligns with with current expectations, along with the addition of more responsibilities and expectations. When communicating that, should I I provide my highest expectation and negotiate from there?

My concern is, if I provide a range, they might just go with the lowest of the range.

I am currently a practice manager for a large practice that is in 3 states with over 300 locations. When I was promoted 3 years ago it was to take the place of the DOO that resigned, who was making 6 figures, and doing a quarter of the work that I do. They have me at $63,000 salary, but I work 60-70 hours a week due to the work load. Now they hired a new marketing employee, that was started at double my salary, and I feel very offended by this. What’s the best way to address this with HR?

Any advice on best approach to a casual convo about upcoming raise if any with annual review around the corner? Would be helpful to know what they are thinking.
