I said “same” to try and kill the awkward silence because I wasn’t about to leave my boy hanging out to dry. Didn’t work. PgM asked homie to clarify the situation, and after we got context, we were all like “yeah that’s tough, I feel you”.

Guys did anyone attend an interview with Comcast recently. All the negotiations are over and they are yet to release an offer even after 3 weeks. Saying that some finance clearance from the US has to come. But saying they will offer for sure and it will take 1 more week. Now I am waiting for almost 4 weeks for an offer. My probation ends by this month in the present company and post that I should serve 90 days notice. Anyone who has attended recently please share ur experience and timeline. Thx

I'm trying to suss out if a new member of our dept hates me or my team (she manages a different team).

My initial take is she's just hard to read and probably a tightly controlled introvert. My direct report felt she's 'cold as ice,' 'bristling' at our suggestions, and forming a clique that wants to do their own thing with no input from our team. He's triggered very easily, and there was no explicit evidence, just a 'vibe' so I wrote it off. (See 1st comment)

My managing partner said of Camille Vasquez (Depp/Heard trial atty) that she was a terrible lawyer. He said he hated watching her.

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?
