My manager kept changing my spreadsheet—even the tab colors. It felt like I couldn’t breathe without her approval. At lunch, I vented to Raj. He said, “Send her updates before she asks. It helps.” I tried it, and it actually worked. She stopped hovering, and I got my space back. Funny how a small shift made a big difference. Ever had someone micromanage you like that?

Oh that's incredible. How often do you have to send updates? I could see the update thing getting annoying too, if you had to send multiple updates a day. But at least you got her to stop hovering. I've only ever solved this kind of problem by talking to someone directly or moving to a totally new job altogether

I'd be locking the spreadsheet. No password for you ;)

Need a sanity check here.

When I joined my current company, we were on a quarterly bonus structure with guaranteed payouts each quarter. This was, in fact, how the recruiter said he could meet my salary request.

The company just announced we are moving to annual payouts only, with no payments for 2023 until May 2024. There are no raises happening.

This amounts to 12% less money in my pocket in 2023 plus inflation.

Is this standard, or should I be looking for opportunities elsewhere?

SO and I got in to a disagreement on the background of Indian tech CEOs. It appears that they are all from 1 or 2 major communities in India.

While he thinks that its genetics/being naturally gifted that got them to where they are I believe it's the environment & discipline that made them successful. We are not from said communities but curious to hear your thoughts on who is more accurate.

I'm a first yr attorney at an insurance firm and am in the process of interviewing for an in-house position at a tech company. The position is pretty much generalist, but I get the impression I'd be working mostly on SaaS and partnership transactions. I definitely think I would like the transactional work better, but I am concerned about the long-term earning potential vs. partnership. How common is it to eventually make $350k+ in-house/how difficult is it to transition back to a firm? Thanks!

Back when I was getting started in the food world, I worked flipping burgers at In-n-Out. A man came in and said the burgers he had gotten weren’t right. He dumped the food on the counter and then he started throwing them back behind the counter. We gave him a refund and then his demeanor completely changed. He was calmer and he told us to have a great day as he left us to clean up the mess he made.

He was a republican staffer on capitol hill.
