In workplace if something is wrong and you already discussed with your manager, after how much time you should go to HR? If more than one week passed and no proper solution is given, should you wait more or escalate? Sometimes we hesitate thinking it may affect relations. But is there any ideal time to involve HR or it depends on situation? What is your opinion?

Very much depends on the situation. There's no uniform timeline. If it's a major issue, it should be addressed immediately. If it's a weird grey area, you're better off waiting and hoping it abates before escalation is required.

Agreed, mine wasn’t “super serious” but definitely could’ve gotten out of control quickly if I didn’t manage my way to another team

If the issue is something where your manager may need some time to resolve it, it's obviously good to give them a chance to do what they can. If it's something that's a pressing matter, and nothing seems to be happening, that's a different story. In that case you might as well reach out to HR and seek their involvement.

But what if it’s WITH the manager?

I hope for OP sake that is not the case

I think anyone being reasonable is going to need more information to answer this question.

Is the issue that your coworkers are being unreasonable with deadlines? That you have a junior employee under you that is slowing you down? You feel underpaid? That you have been assigned too much work to fit into a day? That stuff takes time. A week would be fast for that stuff (if Ih's even feasible to address) because it involves moving money and people around.

Is the issue that you're being sexually harassed? That you've identified something the company (or a person at the company) is doing that's straight up illegal? A violation of the company's security policy? I'd expect a faster response to those things because it involves following established rules.

In either case, if it's important to you OP, start doing correspondence about it by email (not Teams, phone, conversation, or text) and make print out copies that yeu toke home (if feasible). A physical paper trail could make all the difference later.

Very true however I think they mean in general. It’s definitely situational based but in general I would always give 30 days unless it’s something super serious

So I never “officially” went to HR. I spoke to a manager and maintained conversations with that manager in order to “save” me from my current (former now) manager.

If manager not resolved your issue then..?

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?

I have an offer and want to negotiate

1. London base salary but I have to absorb all the expenses (train + stay)
I am thinking to negotiate to

2. home base salary and have my expenses paid for

I know that's depends on the amount I have to travel (and potentially stay) but at the moment this is unknown. Past 8 months was just twice a month + 2 nights stay.

The only thing I know is it won't be every week, the return trian ticket is about £80-100, depends I could plan ahead.

Currently a Wealth Advisor for Citi but I honestly hate it here with a passion it’s the worst company I’ve ever worked for in my life and I’ve been in Wealth Management in the banking channel for over a decade. Series 7, Series 63, Life, CFP, ChFC, and soon to have my MBA with a focus in Mergers & Acquisitions. I’m look to enter another area of Finance at this point instead of starting over somewhere else from scratch, but not sure what direction to go. Interested in Investment Banking or M&A.

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.
