would really like to break into
product management and believe in
my 5 weeks so far I have shown skills
to back that up. Would it be
acceptable to ask my manager to
recommend me for a product

I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.
Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.
JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?

Haha, this is real, though! Personally, I don't mind a pizza party and ice cream. However, you are right. This is not 'compensation' and better pay should always be the goal.
I would trade the pizza and cake for the remote work any day. I can always buy pizza and cake.
It depends. My boss pays for those things out of her own pocket so I appreciate them and think it’s nice she wants to do that for us. She gave us all $50 Amazon gift cards for the holidays and $25 Uber Eats vouchers for a team lunch recently. I’m happy with that.
If the department uses budget for these things, then I might get annoyed but I also know companies usually have separate budgets for salaries and raises versus “social activities”.
People are getting raises but they still have a social bucket. It’s usually really small in most companies at like 1% allocation from the entire budget. That’s not taking much away from raises.
Even if people get raises they’re still going to complain about money budgeted for other things not going to them
I'd be happy with a pizza at this stage. As a remote worker you get zero of these, not even an Uber eats coupon

As a celiac, I always dreaded the pizza party concept since no matter where I work, I am excluded from the festivities or ostracized and get the obligatory “sorry we did not get gluten free, maybe just eat the toppings” or “can”t you just eat it this one time…” like it is my fault. Ice cream lunches sound too juvenile. I would want the money or comp time perks like summer Fridays.
I’ve had a deadly nut allergy from the dark ages called the 70s. I’ve never complained about food as much as vegans…
$50 Uber eats coupon or GTFO sir
He is also a micromanager...
Yes I am looking for a new job.
You guys are getting parties?!?! We just get spending cuts or layoffs..
I get it and I completely agree on many levels. I must say though, my boss tries his hardest to do what he can for us. It is out of his control to compensate us with raises and bonuses, so he takes it upon himself to reward us as best he can. He is always setting up meetings at a local restaurant for lunch on him or throws a random pizza party on a Friday afternoon. I truly appreciate his efforts and I know it is all coming out of his pockets. Wish the company would step up but they don't which is unfortunate.
Nope, it sure doesn't. Bring in a union. Seriously. They are the only ones who cares about the workers anymore. We just did at my work and now, they are trying to fire me.
Yes bring in a union and get fired, that's a great plan. Companies have x% of Revenue they can spend on comp and benefits and still be reasonably profitable. If a union forces wages and benefits up that may be great for the longest tenured employees, but a large swath of the newest or lowest performers are getting cut to pay for it.
This is why I've started making it a habit of asking about their compensation structure for performance at the first interview with the recruiter.
"How does XYZ Company gauge and reward good performance? Please do not say pizza parties, t-shirts, or tumblers."
At Charles Schwab I was working as a contractor when they went around handing out the 50 cent candy bars you'd get out of a Halloween bag. When they came to my desk, I was told,"Sorry. These are for fulltime direct hires only..."
So until you have more money than you can spend, it is not okay for people to socialize and have small office parties with ice cream and pizza? So jobs must be as miserable as possible until you say that don't have to be anymore? Interesting take.
But that’s all these companies offer for engagement and it’s played out. And in many cases, pizza parties are offered as overtime incentives or in lieu of fair raises.
During the pandemic, my job did give out Uber eats coupons but we were also pressured into attending happy hours on Microsoft teams around the same time period. Yuck. I currently have friends in remote roles who have regular mandatory virtual happy hours and they will do almost anything to get out of them.
bro those are team events to get ppl to hang out / get to know each other and not comp
Those are wrong, you diabetes and heart problems then you will pay more on doctor bills instead of being a reward
As a manager, we wish we could give raises every year. The economic environment we are in the bucket of money allocated for raises is not enough. I would be thankful for a job and look at other options while working to get the next-level position you desire.
Yeah like the comment above said, we hear this no matter the economic environment. Corporate profits and executive pay climbs year after year, and yet we hear “times are so tough”. Otherwise this comment from a manager was refreshing.
Now imagine these come with conditions like you must socialize during this time.
And… that’s the time I have to go to Friday prayer and occasionally lead it at one of their own hospitals.
So not only is there nothing you can eat, with no time to eat, apparently everyone happily chews away at toxicity behind your back until you’re out of a job.
It’s like asking for a hard-earned raise goes through this gauntlet of, “Did he eat the pizza? Did he socialize? No!? This has to stop!”
What industry do you work in?
IT. Doesn't seem to matter the industry. In lieu of raises and bonuses a lot of companies offer this kind of trash.
Where I'm from, that is generally allocated toward a separate team budget. They should be used for team-building events or opportunities to highlight some team wins together, not as a supplement for poor compensation.
If you feel the need to discuss your compensation, then do that in a 1:1 with your supervisor.
It always throws me off my diet 😅 I view them less as ways to reduce wages and more as team building efforts, personally.
Oh, yeah I haven’t really had the problem with raises personally because I just jump ship if they don’t offer one. I’ve been getting fair pay since, though my current job just got outsourced in front of me
Sell $1M in business, get a pizza. True story.
Well said👍
