WFH question: We are on hybrid schedule. I come into the office 3 days a week. I want to fly out on Thursday after hours and work from a different city on Friday. Is it necessary to tell someone? I am in a long distance relationship so spending weekends with my SO is important to me.

If there is an emergency and we have a question only you can answer, we can call or text. we’ve got this.”

And then they teams checking in 2 days later 🤦🏼‍♀️

How do senior leaders/ executives manage their career and find the next opportunity?

I’m planning to negotiate a bonus structure. Does anyone have any tips or models of bonus / commission structure?

Working my way up the corporate ladder. I have so many thoughts on leadership and want to initiate changes in the departments I work with. But at this level it's so difficult. Ppl are so resistant to change.

How do you let go of the need to be liked by subordinates? I have a people pleasing streak.

We’re in the process of redesigning our leadership and executive compensation structure. Both the CEO and CFO have their thoughts based on the seat. I'm exploring bottom-line and outcome-based bonus structures currently. Any feedback, views, questions, or advice?

What things have direct reports done that have impressed you? I have one - one of my managers just sent me an extremely perfect mid year review with actions milestone outcomes - bottle necks. So simple and clear to measure success for end of Q4. Thank you 🙏 hiring god who found this employee.

I am a Senior Project Manager for a custom estate builder. We build homes over $50mm in construction costs for the ultra wealthy. I have been with this firm for 15 years and make $350K annual.

I have reached the limit on title / career progression in my company - nowhere upwards to go. I highly doubt they will ever partner anyone else into the business. Do I leave?
