It seems like all of our customers have budgets they are trying to hit/money they want to spend before the year is over, which it kind of ends the 20th of December with people being out for the holidays.

How

Yeah… I’ll take a bonus if they really need to get rid of their money haha

My company does that every year. If we don’t spend this year’s budget, we lose it next year. Especially capital commitments. We always ask equipment and tooling capital suppliers to invoice early so we can get it off the books by year end. Suppliers know it is coming and love it. They get paid early for milestones they haven’t reached yet! Probably illegal

That is pretty common

Yea that is pretty common in my experience. Even my company is trying to find ways to spend money before the end of the year.

Anybody have any tips on how to go about the relocation conversation? I’m looking to move out of the city with our main office to a city with a much smaller office. With post-covid office culture I can’t imagine it’s that big of an ask. That said, I’m in a junior role and have been with the company for less than a year so I don’t know if this is a question I should really even ask at this time.
