There’s a high demand for seniors pretty much everywhere. You can probably go somewhere better with a better base salary and a signing bonus

No raise really sucks

They either want you to quit or they're insane. Leave. Now - unless you have extenuating circumstances. Where you hired a month ago? Assuming the answer is "no" - flee

Leave. PwC did the same to me despite excellent metrics. A Sr Manager asked me to fabricate work and I refused. That got me a Tier 4. No raise no bonus, despite five years of solid performance with the firm.

I left for a smaller firm. Now make what the M2s do, am on track to work 500 hrs less, and have far less stress

like

Tax Manager 1 thanks but I’m not sure if that is a wise thing to do. If I get fired then that may affect me in getting hired at other companies/firms especially when they ask me or my firm why I left. This is something I’d have with me for the rest of my working career and I don’t want that

likehelpful

Getting fired is not the best approach.

OP- that’s basically the same thing that happened to me. Just GTFO. Your life will be far better. If you are set on staying in the B4, you can probably negotiate a nice one-time bump and a substantial signing bonus, as well as have a clean slate.

In my experience, the manger was a psycho, but they weren’t going anywhere. I’d have to avoid working with them until they retire, and that’s not a tenable solution, so I left.

It’s all good, I threw him right under the bus on the way out the door. The last exit interview I had was with the ethics investigations team. I handed them my complete history of snapshots (which evidenced retaliation), the work paper that was asked to be fabricated, and contact information to other team mates who were asked to 'cut corners’.

I burned that bridge to the ground, but sleep well at night.

You could quit but that would make it easy on them. I would stop working hard and see how long it takes them to let you go. I mean if you quit then you just worked hard for nothing. But if you stick around and don’t try then at least you are giving them what they gave you and it should equal out the way you feel.

Deloitte. Been there for a few years. Had one bad job during the year with a nasty manager that overshadowed all the good from other jobs

Leave as soon as you can. I cant speak to all Deloitte offices’ culture, but in my office the hard workers are the one getting sent to the hardest jobs only because they know you can get it done. Then they reward those that that chill on the nice easy clients because those are the ones that have time to social. No appreciation.

I wasn't even okaay with Xk tbh, and now they've gone ahead and reduced it by 10k! I'm attending the final round on Friday - do y'all have any tips on how I can negotiate my salary to X+10 and let them know that this is highly unprofessional?
