Our agency introduced “creative excellence awards” instead of meaningful raises. The prize is a trophy and a LinkedIn post. I am annoyed to say the least. Has anyone dealt with this? How did you bring it up to management? I am not looking to trade pay for award culture.

Sounds like someone didn’t win a twowfy.

i literally would have rather taken the cash they used to buy us drinks for the award party

I wouldn't bring it up that you take issue with the prize being used in place of proper raises. I would however bring up a request for a raise if your salary is below market value. Have you looked around to see how your salary compares to job listings in your area?

good idea, going to do research

Pretty soon we’ll be getting a melon party for recognition.

Talking about it and spreading the word definitely helps

I am a Strategic Sourcing Manager with 7 YOE in both direct and indirect spend across various industries (Life sciences, IT and Insurance) I have been offered a role with Fidelity for 13 lpa + 1.5 variable. Offer seems better than the national average for similar roles but I feel I would be underpaid based on the current market, my skills and value I will be bringing to the table. Any suggestions for offer negotiations?

Would greatly appreciate input from others.

Help!! My bestfriend is doing two months abroad and was trying to fly into turkey when they told her she couldn't because her passport expired within three months.

She went to the US Embassay in Athens knowing she had a month left of traveling, and gave her an emergency passport and punched holes in her exsisting one. Now no country will let her in with her emergency passport.

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?

Thank you!!

I don’t understand how someone can lie about loving you for 6 months. We were together for almost a year (broke up a week before our anniversary). I said I love you first and he said it back. I asked for more reassurance last month with saying I love you more often. Now all of a sudden he said he didn’t know if he loved me and that love meant marriage for him. Okay well great thanks for telling me this now, 6 months after it was initially exchanged. I don’t understand how he could do that.

2nd year ACD salary in LA?

I’ve been at my company for 8 months. I just found out another designer who has been here for several years gets an annual bonus at the end of the fiscal year. I have never been told about a bonus and haven’t gotten one yet for the previous fiscal year that ended In July. Should I have been told I get a bonus when I signed on or are they typically a surprise?
