Is it a red flag when you ask a company for a raise and they respond with no and mention they pay the employees they favor slightly less to prevent them from being the first to be laid off? I asked for a slight raise due to the lack of health insurance included.

I would think its a red flag for sure. Preventing people from being laid off shouldn't be based on they being paid less.. This is so weird! It's always good to be looking for better options because you are never protected from being laid off.

That definitely sounds like a red flag to me. Honestly, the fact that they don't offer health insurance is also a red flag to me but that's a different conversation. But that logic just doesn't make sense to me...if they really truly favored certain employees, I'd think they would do whatever they could to avoid laying them off, not just pay them less.

That’s absolute bonkers. I would get out asap

even at the entry level is it reaching to be asking for the raise?

What would your reaction be if the company you applied to asked for you to get permission from your current firm before moving forward? The situation is the company you're applying to is a client of your current firm, and you've already gone through the interview process with the new company. Thoughts?

Facebook Ads after iOS 14 changes.

I'll share my experience and urge you to share yours:

Since iOS 14 changes, Facebook ads isn't the same anymore. Why?

A. >75% iOS users denied tracking. They are no longer tracked across websites/apps. Facebook lost its edge.
B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.

What's your experience? Let's all learn.

Hi all,

After the final interview, HR reached out and said they would like to extend an offer. HR gave a ball park of 135k - 145k base with about 15k in sign-on equity and 20k annual bonus.

After a couple of days, HR person came back with with 125k base and 20k annual bonus. No sign-on equity anymore. What should I do given that these numbers seem way lower than the initial range provided? HR claimed it’s because of “market conditions”.
