Planned on giving all staff gift cards for Christmas, but one just put in her notice effective right in the middle of my Christmas vacation after she got a bonus from the boss. I'm not feeling jolly, or frankly courteous, anymore.

If she worked the whole year, and did well, there is no reason she shouldn’t also be included in the Christmas bonus.

She worked just under 3/4 of the year.

As an associate, you wouldn't get a bonus if you put in notice. Why treat staff differently?

Frankly, it does not make sense to me that you would deny someone a bonus (who would otherwise be eligible for one) simply because they put in notice. People leave jobs often and for many unknown reasons. Leaving the job does not make the work they did at their time with the firm any less valuable. So, I would say give any associate giving notice a bonus too.

Also, 2020 has been a very hard year for everyone. And staff make notably less money than attorneys do — making ends harder to meet. Grace and compassion is always remembered and appreciated.

She’s quitting the firm? Yeah I’m with you. No gift then from you. You don’t have to give to anyone so leave her out

Hi fishes, my previous employer has not given me the money for Earned Leaves, they are saying it's not in their policy.. I have a variable bonus of 100000. Out of this they have given only 19,000 in the month of December after 6 months of joining...But they are not giving me any bonus after completing 1 year and 2 months.. They have stopped my appraisal as well...

So in total, I lost my appraisal money, bonus and Earned Leaves money... I feel betrayed and cheated...

Due to a recent company-wide increase and additional pay for bilingual direct reports I am only making a dollar and change above them as their supervisor.

Any suggestions on how this might be addressed?

I am not sure what to do. My company just had another round of massive layoffs. So far my job was spared.

Currently going through some negations on an internal role. I’m currently at 88k and they offered me 100k for a position that requires a lot more work. Do you guys think it’s easier to land a higher salary when applying externally rather than internally? Also this is for a territory sales management role. They stated 120k+ is extremely high for that role. What do you guys think? Playing the game?
