Manager of 17 years quit today, partner dressed him down in front of the entire office. Conversation ended with "get your shit and go." What a way to go out.

I promise you no one who heard that will forget it, and the partner is going to have a less cooperative team going forward. "If that's how they treat someone who's been here 17 years then how will they treat someone who's been here for x? Not worth the effort."

I have no doubt I would either be terminated or receive no raise if I treated a senior in that fashion. I would also add I have never seen anything like it in over 30 years. People do get escorted out when they resign if there are unusual circumstances The vast majority are handled in a professional business like manner.

Considering there are probably more male than female partners it's not that crazy of an assumption. Smh at your liberal ass trying to make something out of nothing

Wow. Partner sounds really immature and like he took it personally. I'm sure he has done his share of firings in the past. It's just business. Right? 🙄

I'm not saying I disagree with the move. The partner could have handled things better for sure though. Say whatever you want but don't do it in front of the entire office.

Manager deserves his bonus then... can't understand why partner got angry, either promote manager to get him to stay or get someone else to do the manager's job. Yelling at the manager doesn't solve his problem.

Hi Everyone,
Any suggestions on networking in the private finance sector?
I recently transitioned from public to private sector finance to be more well-rounded and I’m having a hard time connecting with people in the space. I work for a fund admin in the digital asset space for HF & PE/VC firms and I noticed how much “bro culture” seems to impact the industry. Networking is hard enough working from home but I know how important it is to make those connections.

Hi tax 🐠,

I have a question for those who prep individual tax returns. My parents claim my grandfather as a dependent on their tax return and due to their low income, receive PTC for the premiums they pay on his insurance (not eligible for medicare). However, would it be advantageous to have him file for his own tax return (he stays with my parents and doesn't have his own proof of residency via bills). If so, can he get PTC if his income is 0?
