Idk which employer needs to hear this, but let’s give employees a cash bonus instead of a holiday party nobody wants to go to. Is your company hosting a holiday party this year?

Yep, tomorrow night. I don’t go to the majority of the company events and would prefer a gift card.

I’m in a highly populated city working at a regional agency and we’re having more of a middle school field trip rather than an office party.

Required to come into the office Wednesday for lunch, Thursday for bagels and bowling, and Friday for a company townhall.

Instead of fly remote people in and put them up in a hotel and pay for all this, would’ve been nicer to just put it into our paycheck. Even a $25 Amazon gift card would be much better than this. 😪

Respectfully disagree, I look forward to my agency holiday party all year. We all live in different states so coming together is so fun!

like

Yes! They fly us all in and we all stay in the same hotel together. The food is always great and they get a live band, lots of dancing, open bar, etc. They’ll usually do extras too like fun in person courses to take. We have about 100 people.

You still get a holiday party?

I am an experienced hire. My case might just take you by surprise. I joined EY GDS 10 months back at 40% hike (leaving PwC) and now Deloitte (DIJV) is offering me 2 level up designation at Manager level with another 40% hike. This has effectively doubled my salary in the last one year bt still I am confused to switch or not considering the amazing bonuses GDS payed off today. Please suggest.

Any thoughts on what a typical manager salary should be? Associates all start at 75 at BSR but managers fluctuate. Is 120k on par with other firms? 2 years experience in consulting, 5 industry, MA, and a subject matter expert. Is expecting a 45k jump with a promotion crazy?
