I'm so sick of “passion” as an excuse for abuse in this industry! I’ve had so many consecutive jobs where long hours, low pay, and zero boundaries are brushed off with, “But we’re making art!” At what point do you push back and say passion isn’t a paycheck?

I think do it as soon as you can, I hate that mentality and people are so willing to take advantage of those boundaries aren’t set immediately.

Push back immediately, although it’s great to work and make various projects- you all need normals hours and a decent paycheck to live! I would say start looking for another production/team?

I have been selected at citi but HR is unable to release offer letter. This is because I have worked for citi as contractor or consultant in past but I don't remember my SP ID or GP ID which Citi provides to its temporary employees. HR is checking my SP ID or GP ID which was allocated to me in the past but I don't recall it is. HR is checking this with US team and this process is taking time. If they cannot extract it due to some reason, will they release my offer letter? Please clarify this.

Sometimes the leadership does not even inform you on the status of a submitted proposal unless we win the work. I get why they are doing it but it would be great if there was an external source/website that would share this info instead of us waiting around to hear from them.

I once asked a colleague at a radio company how much he's paid monthly, and he outright refused to tell me. In fact, he found it very odd that I asked.

I know it's not an employee's job to fix pay inequity by sharing their salary figures, but I'm still of the opinion that it helps uncover pay gaps. But do you think it's wise to do so at the risk of damaging your work environment or the whole thing backfiring on you? Thoughts are welcome.
