This weekend I worked on 3 process improvements that will benefit my team. Automating a shared mailbox, reducing manual work, creating something sustainable. Not because it was assigned. Because I saw the gap and couldn’t leave it alone.
My manager appreciates it but also reminded me to stay focused on my core responsibilities. Fair feedback. I heard it.
But How do you keep performing at a high level when promotion won’t happen again for 3 years. How do you keep balance and motivated?

I did those things too. Mostly because it made my work better and faster. It was easily more valuable than anything else I did but was never recognized for it.

I would reinforce what ylu did and remind the time savings and equate to $$$. It all comes down to the bottom line

Wow, props to you for doing this over the weekend! What made you want to actually do work over the weekend that wasn't required?

I left my companies multiple times where I felt like I was behind on the pay / promotion given my skill set and potential. Each time getting a roughly 30% pay increase and currently I am specializing in building automation improvements for operational based workflows. Keep grinding and always remember the hard work of learning will pay off one way or another

Any tips for how an undergrad (i have a politics degree) could position herself as ready for financial/corp comms? Perhaps, any specific certification? I have had experience in some agencies working on corporate/finance/legal clients but it has not resulted in any interviews opportunity especially with the banks/ financial brands? What could be the issue?

I tried asking this in my own bowl with no responses, so seeing if other consultants have run into this situation. I’m on parental leave, I got an offer for another firm, great opportunity and pay. How does one go about a resignation mid-leave when you would start the new job before the leave ends? Two weeks notice or just say I am not returning effective the day of the new job? Any things to consider besides potentially repaying the employer healthcare premium?

People who don’t submit their time daily, how do you remember what you did and for how long?

No shade at all to those with different systems, just genuinely curious because I see a lot about catching up at month end on here and I have no idea how that works??
