In your office, if a colleague is not able to complete a task and the manager takes that project from them and gives it to you, it can become an uncomfortable moment. You understand how bad someone may feel when their work is taken away and handed to another employee. At the same time, you must finish the work professionally. In such a situation, what is the best way to handle it respectfully?

Do the work. Unless a coworker comes and talks to me about it, I’m probably not going to be the one to bring it up. Does that happen often for you? We’ve had a few situations, but those were more emergency issues.

I understand your point of view thanks for your advice

You do the job because you were told to do it. You can empathize with your coworker, but don't put their feelings over your job security. Finish the work, don't make a big deal of it and move onto the next thing.

What’s your job position in your office.??

If your work needs to be taken away then maybe you need a new role. I’ve never (knock on wood) been in a job where I was downing in work to that point.

I understand your point of thanks for your advise

Do the task that the manager handed over to you. If not, it can also look bad on your part.

Yeah its my job to do work

I usually don’t bring it up—just complete it and move on. I never know why an employee may not be able to complete something. It could be something going on with their personal life. If it happens often and it causes you to struggle getting your own work done, then I’d bring it up with my manger

I work for a small agency and manage our internal marketing acct. We had very few processes in place when I started. I’ve since created, implemented, and trained our dept. on project mgmt for clients and am trying to convince the owner to apply those principles to our internal jobs. They are resistant because they just want the work to be done and don’t “want to keep spending money on internal jobs”. I’m confused because we’re doing the work either way and “spending” in labor/resources.

Also, clients hold on to important info and don’t initiate a call cause they’re waiting for me to communicate with them.

Have any of you taken "low bono" clients while working at a firm? I want to take on a low bono client or two but not sure who would get the money.

I would (obviously) like the money but my real objective is just getting experience/networking since I recently moved to a new state and don't have clients of my own.

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.

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?

Does anybody know what the typical salary range is and total comp for someone starting out as an internal or external wholesaler? If you are one of these, can you share about your experience in terms of whether you liked it or not, work life balance, travel, etc?
