You need to define, in writing, the word temporary. What are the conditions under which salaries revert back to normal? So that when it happens, you can expect to see your paycheck increase. If you leave it vague and at the discretion of the holding company or the head of the agency, good luck to you

Wait what? Are they forcing you to take a pay cut? Please explain.

I’m mid-level and got what was presented as a temporary pay cut, but when the official paperwork came through it didn’t have any language that spoke to an end date/when things would be re-evaluated. Does this mean I have a new salary for good?

These pay cuts might be more permanent than we think.

Better than being let go.

It’s a mentality that’s leading all of these CEOs and holding company jerks to install these. I know that you’ll be so relieved to still have a job that youll accept it.

You CAN be that leader that people want to work with. 1st, self assessment is required. Be honest: As a leader,have you engaged in/accepted Attribution Bias with a dash of gender &/or race bias? (See the pic) This is something we all need to be aware of as we lead our teams, provide performance feedback, & model the behaviors we'd like to see more of on our teams. Be on the lookout for Attribution Bias in yourself & on your team. It's a hindrance to creating a high-performing, inclusive culture.

Has anyone here lived around 23st & 11ave? What is it like?

Any insights here would be great! I’m currently living in LES with everything pretty much down the street

I'm working with an IT MNC in PMO profile.

Is it Bad to change Sector from 'IT' and moving into the same profile (PMO Support) but with the 'Investment Banking sector'?

Some people says once you move out from IT sector, there is no chance getting back to it. Is this really true?

Please assist, this question is eating me.
