HCL Technologies offer being delayed and recruiter keeps saying that there's a problem with their "Offer release portal system." I have already stated my issues with relocating until after I have the offer signed and ready. The project is supposed to start on the 19th and I'm supposed to join before, or on that date. It's already coming up soon and I don't have the official offer so that I can confidently start the relocation process. Has anyone else recently dealt with this?

I’d rather they give the Christmas bonuses only
to the more junior or lower paid people.
@AD3: if that’s the case, I’m 110% on board. The SVP statement was a bit too broad and I’m already salty for some stuff that some juniors did, so both things didn’t go well together hehe
My first year as a CD I got a bonus. I was totally surprised. Then I asked if any of my teams got them, they said no. So I gave my best team 500 cash each. The CCO found out and called me into his office uncomfortably upset, saying I should have let the agency give them the money, so it didn’t come out of my bonus. But after reflecting on it a bit I think he was mad about the optics.
I’ve done this too. And the company was also pissed about it. Would rather have the company pissed at me than my team not feeling valued and leaving.
50k budget
400 people
$125
$75 after taxes
Meh.
^ same. I’d rather have $75 than the knowledge that all my coworkers got shitfaced that one time
B. I’ll take the 50 bucks and the night off.
It would end up being $10, just like my raise was once passed through taxes and translated into take-home pay.
Hey on the bright side you escaped the layoffs at RGA 🙃
Everyone got a $500 bonus. This is the second time it’s happened at the agency in the last six months. They also did it in late summer, as a thank you for people really cranking in campaign work.
I'll take the party and drink about 500 worth of booze to stick it to them
B. 💰
He was DEFINITELY mad about the optics, but YOU sound like an awesome manager/boss. 👍
How about mixing the holiday party and not having layoffs like some did last year?
*nixing

Bonus. But we all know the bonuses are going into the wrong people’s pockets at every agency and holding company worldwide.
It’s like the recent tax cut.
Reality is the bonus pool is far bigger than the party budget. The bonuses are distributed to senior leaders ... I’d fo for the party, it’ll be fun and $200 bucks won’t exactly change the attitude of people. If anything it’ll frustrate people

We didn’t get a holiday party so 🤷🏼♀️
Really nothing? This is NYC office? ☹️
We get both. Everybody got a solid bonus this year and we have a holiday party that is actually fun
