One of the major challenges I've encountered in starting a union in my workplace is that people who are woke enough to know we need one are also the ones smart enough to jump ship.

Looking to get my MLO cert. I have 2 years of teller experience in a credit union. What kind of job opportunities/positions will an MLO cert/license create for me? Any/all suggestions welcome!

I worked on a job that shot months ago with a foreign agency. They shot in the US but took the post abroad with an in-house agency producer. Production overages were never paid, talent was never paid. (Union job...) I’ve been off the job for months but have also spent months making photo calls, apologizing to agents and the EP... my emails to the agency go unanswered. I don’t know what to do at this point... anyone else ever had this? Any advise?

Mortgage strategy question: moving from HCOL to MCOL city, selling current house and buying a new one. Will net enough equity from the sale for up to 20% down payment. How do you think about mortgage rates, points, PMI, etc for the new purchase? I'm in favor of putting less down and investing the difference, but not if the terms are worse.

And I'm talking with both a broker and a credit union - is one better than the other?

I’m a solar electrician at sunrun. I focus mainly on energy storage systems such as Tesla batteries. Currently making 93k a year with Lots of OT that push me into 150k a year. High stress job and high reward. At 31, I feel I could keep up with the long hours but I know eventually it will have to stop as it’s not sustainable long term. I thought about joining the union after this but I’m afraid it might not be what it used to be. Can anyone tell me their experience as journeyman electrician there

Can anyone help me to clear Atos UFT interview???

Looking to get pre approved for a first home mortgage. Any bank/credit union recommendedations? Can you also share the APR you were give? TIA

I worked at a larger credit union. I was a regional manager overseeing 130 people and ten branches. I managed about 2 billion in assets. Sales and service had massive growth in my area. How can I leverage this into a position at a smaller credit union. (Most credit unions are the size of my region). I am running into problems getting I front of people. Thanks for any advice or referrals. I am based in utah.

Hello,
Im a special Ed teacher and new to AZ. Is there a good teachers credit union anyone can suggest? Thank you

Why have unions become so powerless in recent years? A decade ago, the collective bargaining units would get wage increases that matched or exceeded inflationary growth. Now we are lucky to see any positive integer offered.

Realistically, if they are merely securing my job for $100/month they are not providing value! I can protect my own job, AND pay for a decent retirement with that money saved.

What is good altimetrik pune or citi pune?
In altimetrik they giving me Western Union project.. any idea about it

Are there any workarounds for a non signatory agency to have a SAG celebrity VO on a non-union television spot? I’ve heard some people shoot OCP’s off shore then hire a union VO but I’ve always been wary of that. Having a hard time getting a straight answer so please weigh in with your hive knowledge! TIA

While most teachers are protected by teacher unions, I feel my voice hasn’t been heard at all with my concerns of going back to school next week. Our diocese has decided on full return 5 days/ week for all 42 schools despite a recent increase in COVID in our communities. Every other school that I know of in my state is either choosing remote learning to start the year or a hybrid approach, yet that was not an option for us. Are other Catholic schools I. The same boat? Stay safe!

What is your general opinion of Teachers' Unions which protect teachers from being removed based on their poor pedagogy over many years?

I completed two years at Accenture recently. Still no news of any promotion, isn't by default promotion applicable after 2 years of service? It is highly demotivating :(

Saw a job posting for a new dept in a company I want to work for-I am shallowly acquainted with the owner from 15yrs ago and we have messaged each other 2x on LinkedIn over the years. He is a multi billionaire. I am thinking about reaching out to him to ask about the department with the intent to be considered for hire.

Would you consider it rude or impertinent for someone with that shallow of a connection to you to reach out to talk about working for you? I'm unsure if there are SES issues.

Hi All,

Anyone else feel TOO much loyalty to their teammates? I have a good opportunity on another account that would really progress my career, but I feel so guilty leaving the team I’ve worked with for so long. And I’m scared that the new team might not be nearly as good!

I am really interested in a career at Microsoft. I do not have a tech background but I have experience as a Team Manager, Consultant, and Account Manager across various industries. I am also finishing my MBA in 3 months. I am wondering what, if any, Microsoft Certifications would be the most important/impactful for me to pursue to help me overcome the lack of tech in my background. I appreciate any advice or input.

Just joined WORKING NOT WORKING. How much success have you gotten from it? Any tips??

Any advice on getting your foot in the door in the Big 4 companies or the like, ie: PwC, Deloitte, etc. I feel like I have the perfect experience for some of these posted roles but the online application process is a black hole. I’ve seen my resume ‘in review’ for 6+ months or more. Do people only get interviewed for these roles through networking?

Started a new job with a new company in September last year and now I'm 5 months pregnant. I know I'm not supposed to feel bad about this as I know several companies like Shopify hire people who are 7 months pregnant..there is a part of me that still feels guilty like as if I didn't prove myself enough to go on mat leave this quickly. Any advice or thoughts on how to think about this?

I’m coming up on a slow stretch because, Covid. Has anyone taken any online trainings or courses that helped boost your production game?

This job market is insane right now.

Now, with all of these layoffs... employers have the upper hand, and it's super competitive to land the job.

I work full time as a senior manager (L7) at Amazon. I've passed one the hardest interview that Amazon has to be a part of the executive team.

I started coaching on the side and really fell in love with it. I've helped a ton of people land their dream job!

The first things you need to organize your workplace are a full staff list and an org chart (title hierarchy). If those don't already exist, you can make them.

Work on yours this week!

Ok so I know this isn’t the same as openly talking about salaries BUT what do y’all think about a google doc where people self report their salaries. It would definitely be a beast to create and...

Reminder that if you sell your labor to live, you're part of the working class. The "middle class" was invented (by people like us) to target subjective differences in lifestyle based on income.

Has anyone seen that Patriot Act episode (the Netflix show with Hassan Minaj) where they talk about the video game industry? It sounds very much like advertising and they’re finally unionizing.

How long does it take you to feel creatively "burned out" on an account? Do you like to hop every project or do you prefer having a deeper relationship with the brand?

You may have noticed the new Networking feature that has been added to our and other bowls. It concerned me with regard to privacy, so I reached out to Fishbowl for answers.

More in thread...

Happy last Friday of summer! Does your agency do Summer Fridays? Did you have time to take all of them? Why not All-Year-Round Fridays? Why not a floating weekday each week? What would you argue for?

Soooo we just got bought by Accenture. Anyone want to get this project off the ground?? Like, soon???

Humane hours would be nice. Also some parameters for weekend work. It either doesn’t happen or we are paid handsomely for it?

It's been a busy couple of weeks at my workplace. Have you all been keeping your heads above water?
