How often do you all train abs?
I got a call from HR and offer discussion was over couple of weeks back and still waiting for them to send me final mail to release offer. May I know if they take this much time to release offer, when I did a follow up call after 10 days they said they are waiting for some approval to release offer.
Any ideas i still have chances to get offer? BNY Mellon

Nope I told my direct report to move along when we couldn’t get the salary he wanted. I told him you’re a good employee and you’re absolutely worth $X but unfortunately I cannot get you that raise here, go where your can get it. He left shortly after and got the number he needed and I’m happy for him.
I’m not trying to help corporate America I’m here to help the humans they employ. Yes it sucks I lost a great employee and I have some added work now, but I’m trying to help other people in their careers and I have no problem voicing my concerns to my boss. We have less headcount, more work and I can only do so many things until they hire new people.

Nope because I kept advocating for his raise on multiple occasions and said “there is a chance we lose him if we don’t get him a raise”. Management knew it was a possibility so wasn’t surprised when it happened.
My employee also was kind enough to give me tremendous praise on the way out so I was lucky that he backed me up and showed it was all about compensation.
I agree I would not ask an associate to stay in an unhealthy work environment. Especially if I was making plans to leave and actively seeking new opportunities.
I feel like a hypocrite asking someone to stay in this team considering I'm exploring other opportunities...
