Just got the word that my company won't be doing annual raises this year and it's not looking good for quarterly bonuses. Guess who gets to tell the staff this information? Why does HR always have to be the bearer of bad news? I'm being affected by this policy too. Someone should have softened the blow to me first.

I had a colleague who used to refer to us as being "professional shock absorbers." It often feels that way. In any event, the best way to handle things like this is to avoid spinning it, as people always see right through that. And it just erodes trust.

That's one of the really tough things about our job. We're affected by everything, but then we're blamed for everything and have to be the bad news bearer all the time. Sometimes I just want to be like, "This sucks for me too, guys!"

Interviewing soon with EY for a senior role (TD FSO). I originally applied for their core practice but the recruiter convinced me that since I’m coming from a financial services audit background, I’d be better suited for their FSO practice. Assuming I get the job, would exit opportunities be worse if I am in FSO instead of the core group? Thanks!
