I work for an organization that is mostly remote/hybrid, with employees spread across the country. We host a lot of trainings and team building events virtually to bring people together. The think I like most is that we have 2 company wide meetings a week (via zoom) that connects us all at one time.

We do them via zoom and have an organized agenda each meeting so it’s not chaotic at all only a few people speak each time and we meet twice a week.

For fun events we have done virtual 5ks, trivia, minute or win it, , cooking contests etc.

Curious about salaries for CSR/ESG project managers working in industry (i.e. tech, manufacturing, etc). Anyone have any data points? The position I’m aiming for is remote, Bay Area tech company.

My company blames my generation for not being able to hire everyday. “You guys don’t want to work” coming from some overweight, racist, old coaster. I’ve barely taken any days off this year and pick up “skeleton crew” days any chance I get. I was able to work out a deal with my company before I came because of prior experience luckily, but they offer a terrible base salary and sham of a commission structure to new hires + no remote. Then sit here and can’t figure out why…

Hi, so I got a call regarding a care coordinator position in California. They said the start pay is $20 per hour. I have some background with patients, I work as a nurse assistant (1 year experience) and have a bachelors in Healthcare management, plus worked in a front desk in a dental office. Is 20$ fair as a start? They said it's based on experience. I do want to move on honestly, because I work 12 hour shifts. And want 8-5 position. Should I just go for it if they give me that offer?

I get wanting to save costs but at the same time doesn’t feel inclusive or welcoming. Thoughts? Have you done this or seen it work? Thanks!
