If I’m picking up the work of an entire second person for two weeks is it weird if I ask to get a cut of their paycheck? Agency failed at filling a roll

Yah fair since it’s not really fair since the agency just pockets the money but you’re right

Serious question: are you scheduling enough PTO/vacation for yourself? I do acknowledge that’s a lot for you (2 weeks is a long time for literal double work) but in general, I’ve found that when I’ve felt salty about picking up the work of someone who is out, it was because I realized I hadn’t prioritized taking vacation time myself.

You’re right though yah I haven’t havent taken a sick day this year either. Also agree it’s victim blaming but it’s a good short term strategy for me ty

Just wait until you're doing it permanently.

Sure dude

I sense some sarcasm but could you explain your point better? I guess my main issue with it is that otherwise the agency just pockets the money, and any other coworker would just say no but I work hard and say yes.

Should I just say no like everyone else?

What is the process for negotiating a job offer (from a firm or otherwise)? Do you have to be ready to ask for more salary/bonus/other perks right when they call you to make the offer, or can you ask for time to consider and then call back with your additional requests? I’m not the best at thinking quickly on the spot, so feel like I could be more thoughtful if I took a day or two to consider my requests.

Hi guys, I got an offer from x and i discussed that with my current. At 1st current said they can only give 30% increment. I said I can't stay with this cause i got 70% and expect at least 50%(as the 70% included VP and the current org don't have vp, they have bonus). Then they said they can do max 45%. I really wanted to stay here so I said okay to current. Then now hr called me and said they are matching the offer(no vp). What should I make out of it? What made them change their mind?

"Everybody can be a leader" some say... "Leaders are nurtured not born" say others... True.

But... this is also true: "not everybody wants to be a leader" (whether they can or can't be). It is a fairly common practice in organizations with traditional career management structures for people to "be promoted" into leadership roles as the "end steps of the corporate ladder" that was climbed doing technical work. And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time
