Who else feels like when they go on an interview and mention that they want good WLB it’s an immediate turn-off for the interviewer? Shows how terrible work culture in the US really is.

I don’t ALWAYS feel that way and it’s a question I ask every time. I got kids. WLB is pretty important to me. Gotta set those boundaries and expectations as early as you can. If it’s a turn off to the interviewer, then you’ll know you don’t want to work there anyway.

Correct. Work culture in the U.S. is abusive.

Companies “say” they want WLB but when you set boundaries, you get an X on your back. Will this change when millennials take leadership positions? In the meantime, what solutions can we be doing to make this normal? I thought this was something GOOD that came from covid with WLB and flex schedules but we are defaulting back to bad behavior

I'm curious how important it is to have a referral etc and what you'd recommend for applications opening in jan. Any advice is super appreciated I don't have any connections to the industry but it's something im interested in.

Just wondering if anyone has any knowledge about compensation structure at Allspring, or any opinions on the culture there. I would be in Charlotte.

Any tips on how to deal with this…my entire team was let go today (was 5, now just me). We functioned as the Marketing team for 4 brands and primarily focused on product launches and sustaining social media content. My plan moving forward is to only focus on the top revenue driving product launches for now and say “no” to basically everything else. Would love to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation and can offer some advice.
