Me: I've been working 14 hr days non-stop.
Employer: We've all been working hard. It's a tough time for the industry.
Me: It's not sustainable and I'm burning out. I need help.
Employer: Totally get it. We are understaffed so we need you to be flexible about taking on more responsibilities.
Me: If I'm taking on more responsibilities, would my compensation be able to reflect that increase?
Employer: It's tight this year. Economy/pandemic etc.
Me: I'm leaving.
Employer: *surprised pikachu face*

We had about 5 creatives resign in 5 days here and im pretty sure all of them went down exactly like this

This is happening at a lot of shops right now tbh. But if we all walk away they will start to actually change. I left a toxic place too and at the new shop I mentioned my boundaries in the interview, this helped land the gig since younger creatives need these boundaries enforced from the top. You might think your CD or ECD isn’t aware of how many hours work is really taking, trust me that everyone knows. If you don’t get support, that’s because they don’t care. Churn and burn culture isn’t going to be acceptable much longer if we just leave those places.

Hi All,

I have 4 yrs of exp as full stack developer and my current CTC is 15 lpa and notice period is of 3 months. I got an offer from another firm for 24lpa but they have shared the offer letter of DOJ after 2 months and asked me to negotiate my notice period or look for buyout. What should I do in this case? Should I connect with my current hr to negotiate? Cause I tried convincing the new hr to share the offer letter of DOJ after 3 months but she is not in the favour of that.

PSA - We are headed into a self-imposed economic slow down. Now is not the time to lateral but if you do, I would make sure you are at a recession-proof practice or firm. The top law firms will be okay (they always are) but if you are part of a larger group of associates with no work, you are likely to be axed.
