Our firm is rolling out voluntary hour adjustment/reduced salary and although they are saying this program is not mandatory, I feel pressured because we had few nationwide webcasts on this and partners calling personally to discuss. I understand the worst scenario is to be laid off and taking a reduced salary may be better deal for many. However, the salary here is peanut compared to what they pay in US and cost of living is high - I barely manage with the current pay. Starting to get anxious 😟

I got terminated from a consulting firm I transferred to when EY Bay after having my son. This small firm dropped the ball because they did not want to move forward with my GC despite their promises. And they told me this YESTERDAY, three weeks before my VISA expires and forced to go out if the country. Like, really?

Sorry to hear - that sounds rough. Was the GC promise written in a contract? Also, have you applied for an extension of stay or change in status?

GC promise in a contract has no legal standing. If status adjustment has started one can switch jobs I think.

You have to do what’s best for you. It’s your livelihood and if it’s your decision, then do what is best for you right now.

OP, are you in canada?

Hey! My company is giving me a new title (previously: Senior PMM, new: Global Lead of product marketing). The roles are very similar with no material change of responsibilities. it’s the result of a re-org. Also, I’ve been deemed a high performer and approaching my 1 yr review.

In any case, as I’m waiting on the official letter, they have been very vague that they’re will be a compensation increase. In fact, this hasn’t been presented as a promotion. How would you approach this conversation?

Was laid off in Sept. Unfortunately we will be seeing many more coming. It's what happens in a recession. Unfortunately I now also have my age against me. Not in a mentally good place at the moment.

If I know I am making more than what the job I am interviewing for would most likely offer, what should I say if the recruiter asks what my target comp is? Realistically I’d take a pay cut to join this firm, but don’t want to outwardly say that upfront. Thoughts? Talking ~20-30k difference

I’m currently trying to negotiate but there doesn’t seem like there’s willingness to do so from our hiring team. Should I decline? Should I leave? Should I accept and start looking elsewhere?
