What are all your firms doing to try and keep morale up? Mainly directed to senior/staff that were expecting raises/bonus/promos.

Lol we’re basically being told we’re happy to have jobs. As Mr. Wonka said “you get nothing, you lose, good day sir”. No raise no bonus after a grueling compliance busy season.

Same here, not a single word from our OMP unless it’s about hitting billable hour targets, maybe they are hoping we will just forget about promotions and raises

Not much is being done, but I understand that’s because not much can be done. For me, my morale is low because work is much harder remote than it is in person. Especially as we move towards fall, which is a busy season for my office, the outlook looks grim for a lot of employees. Having to work on larger, more complex clients remote is a daunting task. But, unless the virus magically disappears, there’s nothing that can really be done. I want to see my coworkers too, it’s part of what makes public accounting manageable. Virtual HH’s just don’t do it anymore. Not really the fault of anyone making decisions.

My firm is firing a bunch of people so I guess that will lift the morale of those who don’t get fired?

First - no raises or bonuses etc.
Bring morale up - raises/bonuses are only deferred till YE
Back down - sorry, we can't match 401k for 2020.. We'll talk about it being a chance of deferred - but not right now.

😕 At least we have our jobs, but who knows if anyone's gonna be cut day after 10/15. It has happened in the past.

See, if the amount of work we have went down at the same time that compensation was taken away by removing bonuses and merit increases then it would be understandable and no one would be upset. Yet the amount of fucking work remained the same if not more. We already know that we are underpaid in public accounting, COVID just made it a bigger issue.

Counselor can play a big role when your advisee asks for performance feedback & how it will play out for the deferred promo. Unfortunately, I felt like my Counselor does not advocate me either for promo despite some good feedbacks from other Managers. Just getting a lower morale bec of that.

We are providing salary raises soon. We did let about 4-5% of people go in April; all people remaining had no pay cuts, forced PTO or furloughs,etc. Bonuses are not on the horizon for now.

Office nada. Manager could care less.

Leadership is telling us how "damn proud" they are.

Will it though?

Hey guys,
I’m currently a quality control analyst in the biopharma/gene therapy field making 72k base in the Houston area. I’ve been working here for 2 years and my company is well established and the job is easy, but I honestly just want higher pay. I see companies (smaller and larger) that potentially can give me that but would it be worth it? I’m having a hard time finding out what opportunities/paths I can take and what amount of $ would be worth moving jobs for. Any insight is appreciated!

Hypo: client says they agreed to use a prior agreement another firm drafted as precedent for a new deal prior to engaging you. It’s maybe the most poorly written contact you’ve ever seen. Most material terms are arguably there, but it’s convoluted and you’d be embarrassed to put your name on it. There’s clearly a better way to draft it. To what extent do you re-write certain sections?
