Week 1 of joining a new company.
Should I send a high level weekly update to my boss (vp)? I barely spoke to my vp this week.
Or does it look I’m showing off and childish?

Thoughts?

Maybe send a quick update and ask how you should do updates going forward.

I personally couldn't handle weekly 1x1s, but we tried to keep a cadence of every other week or at least a monthly check in for the beginning, which was the best to help adjust

I'd ask what communication cadence would work best. Everyone has a different style.

Just my opinion, State what is, ask for feedback. A weekly progress report to keep you focused, easier for review and if you are focused in the wrong area, you can get a direction push.

Hi everyone! I got the counter offer, they raised the base salary from 54k to 55k despite me asking for 60k. They said its final.
(I am currently only making 50k a year)

I have only been working in my current company for less than a year.. do you think it is fair for me to bring this to my manager and see if they can match it? If i can get more money from my current company that would be ideal but not sure if my manager will be happy about it.

Needing some input..

Tips on telling your manager you’re moving teams? For context, my old manager moved to an area I wanted to be in so he helped me to start my move there, but my skip manager is currently managing me on the old team; I don’t want to throw shade on my old/new manager bc poaching is frowned upon & he was in that department for a long time. I would also be the 4th person to leave in a month’s span, so trying to soften the blow bc it wasn’t a toxic environment, just the work was super boring :(
