Leaving my current firm for big4. How do I put in my two week notices without causing chaos during busy season? I’m really close to the partners & managers that I work with. I don’t want to deal with counteroffers…

Why feel bad? These firms can lay you off at anytime so if you got a better opp take it. Even if they do give a counteroffer use it for more money at your new firm

Stretch out your start date? Right now enter for time off 10/18-10/29, give notice on 10/15, and start 11/01?

Start 11/08 or 11/15. Your medical insurance will backdate to 11/01, but you'll want to limit medical needs and appointments between 11/01 and until you start in November.

Just let them know you appreciate the opportunity to work there and that you will finish up the rest of the season strong but that you want to work for a Big 4. If they have your best interests at heart then they will understand. If they counter, then say it’s not the money it’s Big 4 experience.

Submit your notice now and tell them your last day is 10/15?

During the 2nd month of the WFH lockdown shit got intense with my CMO. Work intensity and she’s an idiot. She made a joke about “It’s not like you or anyone is gonna quit, no ones hiring. There’s nowhere to go! Ha!” Well... I just quit and she hasn’t talked to me since I put my notice in two weeks ago. Bye bye stupid!!!

Just joined the new agency. They've been winning Cannes on the account I will be working on for the past 3 years (not big win, like 1-2 works for 1-2 lions.) ECD is a hall of famer. Cut to the reality, she doesn’t attend any creative meetings or push any ideas. Creative management is powerless. Campaign leading by strategist and account team. Did a lot of generic work as well as a lot of after-hours proactive. Dumb question..Is this a 🚩 or a normal thing for a big agency/global account?

My hands are shaking!! I just got off a call with my toxic manager who is clearly not happy I am being poached for another division. I tried to hold firm as he attempted to 20 question me, who was it, who wants me, what division, how did they find out about me? And of course the gaslighting of “why didn’t you come to me I could have helped or made introductions”. Clearly everything is about him. How have you handled such situations? What could I have done better with my abusive manager?

Found out today my toxic manager bad mouthed me to an HR rep in a different division. This correlated with his bad management and abusive behavior. Luckily the new manager I’ll soon be working with dismissed it. Her words of wisdom “reflect on what you could have done differently, you can only control your actions”. How does that resonate for you? Have you had similar experiences?

I need some advice from advisors who have brought other “Junior” Advisors on. What is a fair split?

The individual is working to build their own book of business, but up to now doesn’t have much production. They have only been in the business for about 2 years. I also provide an office and everything that comes with that, and admin assistance. Thanks in advance!

How can you discuss setting personal boundaries (and respecting them) with your employer/manager/team(s), when your well-being is not centered in the workplace?

Looking for advice:
My dept has 2 directors. One is so rude. The other ignores the issue. The previous HR director told me to report any issues because she was building a case (not appropriate info to share, I know). She's since left and there's a new HR director. This rude guy has recently sent me several very rude things through email and I'm debating how to handle it. Is it worth it to talk to HR? Im worried it'll just make things worse since none of it is "wrong", just rude and insensitive.

Trying to decide who to invite from work. My office is about 45 people total—50-50 attorneys and support staff. I know which associates I’m inviting and know that the others won’t care. But struggling with partners and support staff. I work with some but am close to others that I don’t work with. Reality is that I can’t invite them all but don’t want to offend anyone
