Remember that bumper stickers are a great way to help shape other peoples’ thinking. That’s why I put a ‘billionaires shouldn’t exist’ sticker on the back of my Tesla Model S.

Any copywriters (in branding/otherwise) currently report to a strategist instead of a CD? Trying to have an open mind about them approving copy without judgement but it’s like pulling teeth for me.

Lease on my current vehicle ends in a few weeks. Do you think auto prices will drop and financing will become free in the next little while?

Should I hold off and Uber around until the drop?

Does anyone else think that IBKR’s customer service is kinda shitty compared to other brokerages?

Genuinely curious, not intending to be negative, after reading some posts from people at McKinsey, BCG, etc, what qualifications/backgrounds do you have and what do you do to earn $200k as associates?

How it's like to work in Johns Hopkins Hospital ED as RN?

I can really use some direction. My background, I've worked 2 years in strategy and am currently coming off an exhausting year 2 in investment banking. I didn't particularly enjoy either role and am not interested in moving over to the buy-side or some monotonous FP&A role. Everybody says there's exit-ops aplenty, but I find myself with less options and even more picky than I did as an ambitious T2 undergrad student. Where do I go from here?

Hi fishes
I got selection call from the HR last friday. However he needs more time to get the approval for the package!

Tired: Forgetting your headphones at home and not having any for your open-plan office for the day.

Wired: Playing metal on your speakers anyway.

Just joined this bowl and disappointed to find 80% of the posts are just people too lazy to read their employee handbook... I’m here to ask, any firms offers MilkStork as a benefit.

Does Akerman have a good reputation? Interested in any info about the firm.

How do firms calculate how much parental leave to provide, either paid or unpaid. Or do they just pick a number, like “yeah they can get to know their kid in a few weeks and I couldn’t possibly have that attorney out for 12 weeks?” I’m at a small firm, no FMLA or state requirement. We get four weeks paid and four weeks unpaid. Would like to push for more but not sure how to argue costs side of it.

Anyone who recently took the CIPP/E exam? Any tips for what materials to use to prepare for it and the most effective study strategy (assuming I have very limited GDPR exposure)? Thanks!

Question: In Maryland, a limited liability S Corp shareholder can’t be sued individually but can they individually sue someone else on behalf of the corp? Or does an attorney for the Corp have to be the one to file suit? What abt in small claims court where lawyers aren’t even required?

Voyager just filed Ch 11 bankruptcy. Rest in pieces.

For those of you who faked having children during this WFH period to establish some sort of WLB or whatever other reason… how are you going to spin it when we go back to the office/ client site?

What is the best answer to “Do I look fat in this?”

Set very low expectations for raises and bonuses this year. START NOW. No firm can beat what the market is paying for talent, so under promise with low expectations. That way people will feel grateful when they get a 2% COLA in a few months.

How do I get promoted?

If you’re not competent enough to solve real problems in the organization, create a few minor problems that you can solve and look like a hero.

But you have to ensure the org feels the pain of your decision before promising to fix it. It’s like the three parts of a magic trick: the pledge where you float your idea, the turn where you inflict your idea, and the prestige where you fake a way to fix the mess you made on purpose.

Only works managing up, tho.

Family vacations are a must. The house is so much quieter when my wife takes the kids out of the country.

Post your hatred here. Feel free to include your name level and role and the names of those whom you hate the most at your firm. Pls include why. Incriminating evidence is welcome. This is a safe space and there is literally zero chance your boss or any of your coworkers will find out. Not that many ppl may attention to what is said here.

When an organization is not adequately staffed, be sure increase the number of meetings to address how to allocate people. Forcing negotiations at multiple org levels around the same decisions will ensure everyone is totally aligned.

This accomplishes three things:
1) Everyone is mad at each other since they’re competing for people
2) They’re confused and not able to pay attention to the root issue of chronic under staffing
3) They’re distracted from blaming mgmt for the root cause.

Make every effort to record the fireworks display tonight.

You’re sure to watch that video regularly. Unlike the last 7 years of fireworks displays you watched live through your smartphone screen.

Conduct annual performance reviews with your kids and let them know their status in the family is at stake. There’s no feeling in the world that compares to seeing an 8 year old kid on a PIP turn it around and earn an invitation to come back next year.

Join the Politics Bowl for mature and well reasoned discussions about the issues of the day.

Read your childrens’ diaries every week. That way you know if you’re not giving them enough privacy.

When you know the employee survey results for your business unit will be absolute dog crap, just delay the survey and claim it’s so you can conduct a more focused survey for your business unit.

We’re approaching annual review season and it’s very important you put your 2022 goals into the system. Most of you don’t have any goals listed (10.5 months into the year) and they goals mean f*ck all in the evaluation process, but I need you to get your goals documented TODAY.

Put all your money in crypto. It’s done going down.
