Sigh I suck at this. Typo in a deck resulted in over 500k unaccounted revenue that's not suppose to be there and presented to the c-level folks. #gonnabefired.

Who cares about 500k +- in revenue??

Manager is too removed from understanding and reviewing the actual model. :/

Just own up to it. Asap. It can be talked through. Everyone makes mistakes and no one really cares about the numbers, it is the story the numbers support. Does the 500k change the conclusion? If so, say so. If not, whatever.

Also that sucks. I'm sorry. Do your best to recover and own up to it professionally.

Own up to it. Try to fix it ASAP. Also... isn't this why we have a review process? Shouldn't someone higher up than you looked at the deck? Probably noticed the typo?

When I was a C, two of my colleagues made a $2 MM mistake. Result was they brought me in for an extra level of review. My colleagues that made the mistake were both still high performers.

See what I did there 😉

@M1 - your joke was so stupid that it made me chuckle. Have a cookie 🍪

Anyone who has started up a side hustle whilst working in consulting - is it generally a good idea to let your employer know or will they make your life difficult/try to push you out if they know?

(Context - I need the extra income to have a shot at affording grad school, I work for a small boutique, job contract was ambiguous on the issue. Side hustle is selling stuff I make as a hobby on Amazon)

Thanks!

I had to return an item today (last day), rembrd at 5pm. Drove to the store before I'd forget. There was "rush hour traffic".... As I was sitting there waiting in traffic, I wondered why would I want to go back to office every day and rush to leave at like 5 to beat the traffic and get to my kids school on time? Then a rushed dinner, bed, more work at home later, followed up early morn waking up getting ready to again drive for an hr...
I miss interactions bt the alternative is such rushed life!

Hi Fishes,

I was offered RSUs for the first time as part of my compensation. I think I understand the concept as such but there are a few intricacies I was looking to clarify. Could anyone let me know if my grant date is 9th nov, 2022 and vesting period is 1 year, will I get RSUs allotted at the price of stock on grant date or vest date (in this case 9th nov, 2023)? Happy to connect in DMs as well

Thank you for your time!
