Genuine responses

So I just moved states. I’m staying with a parent for a while in a pretty large house and my cat keeps hiding for hours on end (I think to snooze). Any thoughts? She’s spent time with me and I walked around with her while she explores. And she’s ventured solo. Seemed she’s warming up well. Except this again. I admit it’s giving me horrible anxiety that she won’t respond at all until I locate her because even I’m learning where things are and want her to be safe. This is the third time 😭

What is the salary range of Manager in SAT division?

I always bill 100% of my time and for my entire career in public accounting I have never heard anything negative until recently..

Or is it that They think I’m inefficient?

I was in audit for about 4 years then switched to provisions. I’m now 7 years in and want a more steady schedule.
