Just put in my resignation because I got an offer with a 50% raise, my manager said she had no ill-will or anything.
I log on this morning to a scathing review of a report I wrote, nitpicking every minor detail with senior management copied...
Thank God I'm moving on.

Thanks for getting around to the report, Karen. Feedback I got back when I submitted it was positive but you bring up some points worth taking a look at. Here’s what I thought about these weaknesses and how they can be addressed

50% increase! Congrats!

You could find some real feedback in the nitpicking though. People think they’re doing you a favor by not criticizing but then you don’t grow as much.

Imagine, you respond to each point with no-hold-barred engagement and keep it real. You can highlight your decisions, attack the weak points of your analysis and point out the obvious limitations that an audience should bare in mind. Never hurts to document if you’ve mentioned improvements that could aid these limitations. You might actually arrive at good feedback or highlight just how little they made of you while you were on the team.

To be clear, I’m talking about keeping it real and pure - not getting personal or losing composer.

Very fair and reasonable! Some of it is valuable and good improvements for the report. Other stuff is just out of left field it feels like a first year analyst would have understood it.

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?
