As with any job.. keep it cordial, don't burn any bridges, and put the same effort into wrapping up your work as before.

Walk out with dignity and with respect for everyone there regardless of what they might have put you through. You never know who you might run into again or when you might need the contact but stay humble. Good luck and enjoy the feeling of leaving a place and starting something new.

One of my coworkers gave notice verbally and the partner was like "I need it in writing" and then when he (audit staff) gave it to partner in writing he got review notes from said partner: I'm going to need you to date and sign this letter. It was hilarious.

Get another job first? Otherwise, enjoy it. Don't burn bridges.

Tell the partner you enjoy working with most first. Tell each individual (manager and above) with whom you worked frequently individually and in person, if possible, before you let other staff/seniors know you're leaving. The line "I love working here but I couldn't pass up this opportunity" sounds cheesy but makes you look good (assuming you have a job lined up). Make sure to tell the people who matter that it was a pleasure to work with them, unless it was not, in which case you should thank them for the opportunity to work with them.

I need advice. A student at my worksite came to school with a gun. He’s a SPED kid, and administration did not inform anyone. I had to help the teacher and instructional aide deal with the incident. I told the AP that we needed to do more. I was ignored. I fear for the safety of teachers and students. What can I do, when union reps got involved and administrators did nothing.

Hi, I am a single-parent with a 9 year old daughter. Is anyone else dealing with same gender sleepovers with sexual exploration occurring?

To top it off they start trying to tell me they are laughing because they are reading “belly laugh books for kids”. Help.

Would love everyone’s thoughts! Which of these two options would you pick if your goal is to buy and hold for appreciation purposes given these are in a very hot market. Both same lot size.

Option 1:
- $175k lot located on very busy street but across the street from new $700k townhomes and restaurants

Option 2:
- $250k 3 bed/1 bath fixer upper located at end of dead end street, houses on street all fixer uppers, located down the street from Option 1 (so also near new builds and restaurants)

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?

I started at a new firm this year in January. I had a billable goal that was given to me mid year of around 1750 house for the year. I am nowhere near that and definitely will not meet the goal. I had so many non billable hours I was forced to take when I first came in. I worked my ass off in busy season. At my previous firm I never fell short of hours as it was B4. This firm is mid sized and more focused on WLB. My question is how bad do you think this will affect my comp??
