It is Monday, and I already have three "urgent" emails waiting... none of which were urgent on Friday. Weekend silence, weekday chaos. Do you think people save fake emergencies just to drop them first thing Monday morning?

I think it's just part of it being Monday, people feel like there has to be some urgency in the air. In fairness, they didn't send them to you over the weekend. That's the worst. I'll look at my emails on my days off, but I'll only respond if it's something utterly urgent.

At least they weren't sent at 4.55 on a Friday night. I always find people like to have fake emergencies last thing in the day

Yes! I see it all the time where people think they can call something urgent when it’s actually just that they forgot to do something

Need a sanity check here.

When I joined my current company, we were on a quarterly bonus structure with guaranteed payouts each quarter. This was, in fact, how the recruiter said he could meet my salary request.

The company just announced we are moving to annual payouts only, with no payments for 2023 until May 2024. There are no raises happening.

This amounts to 12% less money in my pocket in 2023 plus inflation.

Is this standard, or should I be looking for opportunities elsewhere?
