Someone pulled the original email out that introduced PBB years ago. The progression has been something like 12.5%, 12%, 10%, 9%, 8% for a 5 rated senior manager. Never great, but especially bad since when the introduced it, it indicated likely growth in bonus and it has just been whittled away. Here's the biggest problem in my mind though: we missed an aspirational plan on top line by 0.5% in the US. Sure ... we missed and in Big 4 that equates to significant $$$'s. The big miss was in profit which indicates a margin problem. Expectations on margin have been increasing dramatically, which tells me we are being stifled by the bloat. Independence, QRM and other non-client serving professionals (aka "leadership" and back office) and partners (no, not everyone in these groups, but many) are eroding the profitability of the firm and causing retention issues of high performers on the line.

But to address the latest Global People Survey, we'll change the newsletter ;)

So about quiet quitting, at another job I was in I felt I was getting more and more tacked onto my job and picking up the slack of everyone else. I told my boss that I was doing work that was in someone else’s job description and it would be nice if they could help me out by doing their job. He told me, β€œBut you’re so much better at it.” Looking back, I think the whole team was quiet quitting and he was resting on me and so I real quit. What are ya’lls thoughts? Have you ever done it?

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?
