I’ve been at a job for a few months and hate it - partners set unrealistic deadlines, micromanage, and create work that truly is not necessary/push urgency when there is no real urgency. I had other offers prior to accepting this job that may still be options, and going back to my old job (for a pay cut) might also be an option. I can’t tell if this is just burnout, growing pains, or just an untenable work environment. Would you ride it out for a year at new job or pursue other options? HELP!

Why is it so difficult to make the next career move within your OWN company. I have over 7 years of experience across multiple departments and yet an external company is more willing to give an interview to select roles than your own home company for the same role internally!!

Where is the loyalty in that !!??

I’ll probably be alone this Christmas and I’ve been living alone during Covid. I’ve been fine and done tons of hobbies but thinking about spending the holidays alone is getting to me.

I had applied to a new grad role so O think I can’t negotiate on the role?

Kinda torn as I believe i would have more growth at my current company.

Will anyone in an Executive Director position share some details of their overall compensation package? This is my next step in the company and I imagine there’s at least some slight differences beyond base pay? I’d like to go into the conversation with them better educated so I can maximize my ask. Current comp is about $190k base & bonuses, with another $40k (average/year) in deferred compensation.

This may include less travel, and more WFH opportunity so that’s a big plus.

I have a tenant who is late on rent after having JUST signed an updated lease last month when we bought the property from the previous owner. He has a history of being late on rent. He paid 8 days late and the check bounced. He is now 17 days late and saying the late fees are too much and unfair. We have a meeting set with him tonight and my question is whether we should cut him slack, or make him pay up or leave. Fee details are in comment 1
