Portnoy in 2024

We’re in such a vicious business. You give your heart & soul to an agency, a client, a brand. Then the wind changes & you’re laid off, reassigned, chewed up, spit out, on to the next. I’m tired.

I'm holding an offer from MakeMyTrip and another offer from OlaElectric. Ninjacart is willing to make me an offer. But they're saying that they'd discuss the offer only after the other company that I'm interviewing with has come up with an offer first. There's been a delay from HRs of the companies in a similar way. How do I urge them to send me the offer letter without sounding pushy? I had reached out to some of the HRs myself. Would that be too awkward if I accept & back out their offer?

Guys what should be the salary for AP? 15 yoe

Been wrestling with treating myself to a Dewar’s 12 for an upcoming anniversary or paying the extra bit for the 15. Thoughts?

Men - do you try to get out of an argument/fight by pretending like nothing happened? Why so?

Chicago International Tax - Busy in August?

Is there any realistic way where tipping in the US goes away and we start to be like other countries (e.g. Europe/Asia)? Raise the price of the food, pay servers a fair wage, no tips? Just a dream 😅

I'm guessing no because businesses will fight hard against this (customers subsidize wages) and certain servers benefit from tipping as well.

Only other thing I can think of is if everyone collectively decides not to ever tip again and it forces business to change. Won't happen though.

I was expecting an in-band promotion this year but I didn't get it. How can I raise this to the leaders?

Hello fishes, Currently I have experience of 11 yrs in Manual Testing and mobile application testing and working as team lead in an organization, now I am confused should I go for Automation Testing or go for project management for growth. Please required your genuine guidance. Thanks.

Those let go by Y&R/VMLY&R - did you get severance and how many months?

I would like to learn more about development and real estate. Can anyone recommend any books or courses that you think are informative. Eventually I would like to own a few apartment buildings, but I know there is a lot I need to learn 1st. Any advice appreciated. 

Has anyone resigned from deloitte india and joined deloiite usi or vice versa??

Deloitte Consulting fishes - what's the expected base and bonus for an SM1? I've seen glassdoor, but don't think can rely on it!

But her emails

Trump supporters and republican voters! I’d like to hear your reasons/motives for voting Trump for president. No judgement here and please keep comments civil 😀

I want to hear it all, let it out. Why did you hate HRC? Or you just felt she couldn’t be president because she was a woman?

Thoughts on states taxing student loan forgiveness as income ? I admit I don’t know much about tax law but I feel like it shouldn’t be considered income unless they’re sending out checks to everyone. 10k off the balance of my loan shouldn’t be considered income.

I'm trying to estimate the floor of vaccinations to get a sense if the "100 million doses in 100 days" is even possible:

Assumptions
> Approx. 6000 hospitals in the US
> 40 people in a hospital waiting room per hour
> 6 hour workday

= 240 people vaccinated per day x 6000 hospitals
= 1.4 million people vaccinated per day

US bought 100 million of Moderna doses in Aug and additional 100 million doses of Pfizer in Dec = 200 million doses available in total

Am I thinking about this the right way?

Another day, another bunch of radicalized white nationalists trying to convince themselves their terrorist insurrection is the same thing as black people wanting police to murder them less

Assuming the following holds tomorrow, I expect we will get a call of AZ around 11:15am ET, and NV and PA around 12:15pm ET.

AZ: next batch of Maricopa ballots 55% or less for Trump
NV: Biden wins >60% of next batch of ballots in Clark County
PA: Biden extends lead beyond 35K ballots

My intuition is that the networks want to call all three to provide extra margin for error given the stakes and fine margins.

If you still believe the election was stolen, you should be fired from your job because no client deserves a consultant with such poor critical thinking skills.

Civility thread!

Don't mention/hint at who you're voting for. Let's try to find some common ground.

How's your day going fellow politically-minded 🐠?
