Worse than not liking your job and not being paid well. A good reminder that it’s a thing.

Let me one up you: not paid well & have to remind myself if I leave before a year it may look bad.

I understand the sentiment but the reality is I don’t get paid for being a father and my skills weren’t good enough to make it to the nhl or pga tour. That doesn’t keep me from daydreaming though! Haha

What do now

like

Rather be paid and unhappy as opposed to poor and unhappy though. There are obviously better options, but there are people who work much harder for much less. Hopefully you can see the silver lining for now while you figure out the next step

Agree with this statement to a large degree. The money brings a tremendous amount of happiness to my life outside work. It’s also a source of future happiness (I.e., early retirement, investment in my own ventures). It’s basically delayed gratification.

You didn't have to do this to me on a Thursday. I dislike you.

I’m not paid well enough for that to make a difference, but much like KPMG…what now?

Get out of here tryna bring the vibe down 😂

Has anyone used a surrogate? If yes, how did you find them and would you recommend the experience? I really want kids and have not yet started trying to have them naturally but the idea of pregnancy and birth are absolutely terrifying me. I’m sure everyone is nervous about it but my fear is getting bigger and bigger and I just turned 30 so I’m hearing my biological clock ticking.

I recently started a new sales position, and I know I’m making a lower commission rate than my male counterparts. Could be that I’m new, and they decided to lower it and not because I’m a female. My direct manager is trying to adjust it because we were both told 1% and when my commission started I was at .8%. Any advice would help, I never signed anything that had a commission rate on it. But I’m pretty sure our base as a company has always been 1%.

I had my PHR back in early 2000, then made a career change to a paramedic (I know, right). I called SHRM and they said I'm eligible to test again even though I only currently have 1.5 yrs of HR.

I purchased the online study guide and it seems that HR has gone in a completely different direction - more operations related than employee relations etc.

Did anyone find this online training to be helpful? I test in July, so any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks - lauren
