Mine usually does it on Wednesdays, which is annoying because there’s pressure to go and it’s a pain to get back to work after a couple drinks.

In spite of stellar performance, my request to reprice my role was denied. They're $20k off on base salary for market, our asset size, and experience but say they’re on target.

My job reports to the board and is critical at the juncture we’re at as a company. They rave about me but can't pay fairly, and they won't budge.

Rising second year. I was chatting with the assigning partner (one of the partners I work with the most) the other day finalizing my vacation coverage when he started joking with me and saying so and so (figurative reference to certain types of people) could be such “f&$!:n a$$holes” about taking time off. The cursing caught me off guard honestly lol, is this normal?
