I wish I could be excited about not traveling this week. Sadly, I caught wherever hell is going around the client site. My mom has brought my dog and herself over. She brings me tea, water and meds.❤️

Feel better OP. You’re lucky to have the support.

Even if you weren’t planning to be home this week, I hope you would have told your team you couldn’t and needed to stay home to recover and not risk infecting more folks you come into contact with. Too many people try to be heroes when sick and just wind up worsening overall productivity by sharing their illness.

@PwC - Thank you! I had planned on traveling. My mom called to see how I was felling, then she heard the hot mess I am. I cancelled my plans, texted the PM and emailed the client. I don’t want it to get worse than what it is now which it could with travel. Did that before; learned my lesson

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

Need a sanity check here.

When I joined my current company, we were on a quarterly bonus structure with guaranteed payouts each quarter. This was, in fact, how the recruiter said he could meet my salary request.

The company just announced we are moving to annual payouts only, with no payments for 2023 until May 2024. There are no raises happening.

This amounts to 12% less money in my pocket in 2023 plus inflation.

Is this standard, or should I be looking for opportunities elsewhere?
