It’s totally acceptable to say “I want to be sure we are aligned on the salary range before we move forward.” Or something like that!

I asked for it while negotiating for my current position and they wouldn’t tell me. It has left a sour taste and I regret not walking away from the job over it.

I recently told a recruiter that the position the messages me about felt a bit junior for the next move I was looking to make, and then asked what the salary range available for the position was. Then they told me. Didn’t seem bothered by the question at all.

Totally acceptable, they have a budget range and you're normally asked what salary you need to make sure you're in that range. Just flip the question, they won't mind.

Nope, just ask nicely.

Something about me is both a curse and a blessing - I can't ignore what is not clear, logical, aligned, and simple. Even if that means that I have to work several minutes or hours extra on a document or an email. Things bother me if they aren't as expected. Unless I understand something clearly, I can't let it go. This is what helped me excel at studies. At work, my obsession makes it hard for people around me. If people complain about me, should I just let it go or change my approach?

I’m the person who tells people it’s okay to open up at work about mental health issues, and that it’s okay to talk about it. I’m also the person who struggles with mental health but will likely not talk about it at work because of the past experiences I’ve had where colleagues brushed it off and told me to let it go/be better. I just don’t want others to not have anyone to talk to… but maybe it’s really me who doesn’t have anyone to talk to…

HSBC Results are out HSBC’s pre-tax profits almost doubled to $2.7bn in the final quarter of 2021 as the UK lender’s commercial banking revenues were buoyed by growth in credit and lending. The London-based bank said in an earnings statement on Tuesday that full-year pre-tax profits increased 115 per cent to $18.9bn, just missing forecasts of $19.1bn. Reflection of these results on employees : Single digit hikes even for top performers. Same scene continues from past 3 years now. HSBC
