I’ve used excuse of indigestion before. Emergencies = phone call, not email.

Or create a fake meeting and take a nap.

I had a director tell me he was late responding because he was napping.

I should try being transparent! Good call

Anything that requires a response in less than 20 minutes should be a phone call

Best excuse is to say your headphones were connected to your phone but you took them off so didn't hear it.

All in all...I think the lesson learnt is sleep is more imp - I got a headache as I woke up in the middle of a nap

I have an offer for a PE Ops role and whilst comp is good it seems like they're hiring a pool of internal consultants to leverage for implementation projects within specific PortCos and therefore I won't be driving initiatives centrally - is this standard practice for Ops roles?

At this point I think I'll turn it down given I'm looking for something that operates more centrally (driving not implementing myself)

Has anyone successfully negotiated a title? I was looking for Senior Manager positions but applied for some Mgr positions too. I’m up for promo next year at my current job as well. The current industry offer meets my comp expectation but planning to see if they would bring me in as a senior manager. There isn’t a set hierarchy for the team as of right now as they are building the team and I’d be reporting to a senior executive. Any talking points/tips that might help me negotiate?

I live in a house with roommates and one roommate wakes me up every time she leaves for work simply because her door is loud. Any idea what home improvement solutions would make sense to block the noise?

I put some cushioned draft stoppers under the doors and that's helped a bit, but I'm looking for more. I'm not sure what exactly works best for low frequencies like doors closing. Some $12/12 pack foam acoustic panels look promising, as does a $100 sound damper curtain...
