Is my company the only one that hires people who only re-forward emails sent out from other home office folks? “Just wanted to make sure everyone saw this email….” They should be called “VP of email forwarding.”

Every firm has someone like that. Granted, I don’t blame them at JPM because of how disorganized the firm is. The emails that should go to the support staff get sent to FAs, emails that should go to operations go to the MD or risk etc. Lots of important information gets lost in the mix.

Agreed. I wish they wouldn’t send so many. We become numb to them. That is when the important ones gets missed.

Hi all - looking for stats and help on what a St Consultant level III gets paid here in London?

Q for the WFH home office pros.. What's the best way to set up a station if I would like 2 external monitors for my laptop (have 1 monitor rn but plan to purchase another), but I also have a desktop pc that I would like to be able to switch my monitors to when not on my laptop?
With my current setup of 1 monitor, I have to unplug the hdmi from the laptop and plug to the desktop each time I need to use the desktop, but it's not convenient so want to see if there's a convenient way to set this up?

I am a field marketer. I travel and cover 12 states. HQ is across the US on the east coast. My manager put a surprise calendar invite twice now to go to home office without consulting dates to see if we were available. I stood up and asked to be included on available dates and said I will attend virtually but asking me to be away for 4 additional full days away from my family without asking me is not OK. I already travel a lot and this boundary is super important to me. Am I right or wrong?

So I recently interviewed for an associate PM role with my current company. I’ve been a store manager with them for 11 years. During the interviews, I felt like things were growing great and the feedback I got at the end was great. You’d think given my time knowing the product/ company for so long, that I’d be a great fit but I got rejected and haven’t gotten feedback probably will get ghosted. Should I shoot my shot and advocate for myself with the hiring manager either way?
