Why would someone use “cash” in 2024?

likefunny

Some companies are switching from awarding equity / bonuses using equity to just paying cash because it's more favourable for stockholders (issuing stock, even to employees, dilutes the value per share aiui).

4x3s are very realistic schedules , they allow 24/7 production, which is what any production based service needs. When performed properly, there are many times overtime isn't considered criminal also. Maybe less gripes about raise and more streamlining of production?

I didn't expect so many positive responses! The schedule can be overwhelming at times, the one I was associated with memorably had a semi regular 72 week, occasional 84 on expedite projects, and thank the book gods only one 96 my whole time there. It was due to hiring or bringing a temp for a few weeks I heard.

How does anyone feel about craptastic raises? And regardless of Amazon's perspective, I view my RSUs as a 'bonus', which doesn't existing at Amazon for real. The reason anyone comes to work at company like this is to make money by experiencing stock valuation increases. If things go up,, good for you! But not giving reasonable raises because you'll 'make it up when your stocks vest' is a BS fallback for multiple reasons that almost all point back to corporate greed.

In the past the “stock appreciation” justification has been eye rolly but if you actually do have a good number of shares vesting this year, yeah, they have appreciated a lot and I’m hitting my total comp. Depends on your RSU grants. Works for some people. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm looking for advice from those who have freelanced remotely with an international agency.

I'm based in NYC and have had firms in Canada and England reach out about projects. The agencies have offices in the US but I would be working w/ their international teams (servicing US based clients). I've asked for my standard rate in USD converted to their currency.

Any advice on the best way to get paid? Have you asked to get paid by the US office instead? Any watch-outs for tax season?

TIA!

I am thinking of transitioning my career from Finance operations (e.g. working in wipro mainly finance backend jobs where crowd is hired) to Financial Analytics roles (Tableau and MySQL). As finance operations roles I have worked on has lower salary compared to my experience of 5 years.

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers. It was base + comm, now it’s commission only but nothing changed, OT commission is the same, didn’t get more points, just took away the base pay and said work harder basically. So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)

Are you responsible for giving performance feedback? Avoid giving personality based feedback. Examples include telling an Asian person they are too quiet/shy or telling a Black person they are agressive/abrasive. DO NOT DO THIS. It clearly represents bias in Performance Management. Performance feedback should be tied to business outcomes with clear examples of what the person does well + how they can improve.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?
