Rising Star
If WPP ask
- will I get a desk
- will conf rooms be avail to me if I have a large meeting
- does wifi work well, consistently
- is there an option for a quiet workspace when you need to think and or talk privately
- does the ceo openly display antagonism toward staff
Severance details
Ask chatGPT. Actually great advice.
Job Description - you should already have received this as part of the interview process and many of the items suggested below should be included in the job description.
Targets - new business revenue (as part of pitch team or direct new business leads), revenue managed, profit margins etc.
Performance/Bonus Objectives - what targets do you need to achieve to earn bonus
Team - direct reports
Org Chart of Agency - where is your role on the chart?
Member of any leadership teams or committees? If so, what is role of such committee (including decision making authority)
Review benefits in detail - usually exceptions cannot be made. But if benefits are less than your current role, you could try to negotiate sign on bonus to keep you whole
You need to meet each and every member of the leadership team if you get bad vibes or idiocy off more than 50% - don’t do it. You need to understand their decision making process (best asked of top dog) and how they resolve conflict among members. Is there a n executive coach for the Team not just the individuals on the team.
What is an example of a good severance package
My experience has been 1 week per year of service not 1 month, I wish. (Not C-suite or high level exec).
