Why is there no trade unions for audit staff? Would be interested to see if there was one, what hours, pay and benefits could be negotiated. Just food for thought

I would never unionize with the people I work with we do not share the same values.

Yeah i think you’d find the top half wouldn’t want to work in the industry if it was unionized. Anyone who wants to put in extra effort for extra rewards won’t ever work in a union.

I’m generally pro union, but they would break the industry (maybe for the better?).

No idea of the actual numbers but I’d be surprised if demand for staff was outpacing supply of applicants.

I generally view unions as needed for workers who don’t have the ability to advocate for themselves in the workplace. Are you saying that we cannot speak up for ourselves?

Also, we have other employment options with our education levels and experience so can and should leave if we think our firms aren’t paying us well or treating us well. Protest with your feet. If enough people quit, they will change because they will have to.

Completely agree.

And sure there are some careers, like teaching, where you might be motivated but its not for monetary rewards.

So I’ve been to multiple interviews at google now for a datacenter technician job (either L2/L3) in the Netherlands. I’ve now come to the point to negotiate my expectations regarding salary. Do you guys have a baseline or recommendation of salary that I can negotiate with?
Thanks in advance :)

I want to spend $10k on a cruise to Antarctica. My wife doesn’t want to go and doesn’t think I should spend the money either. I make 200k and she makes 65k. I worked hard to get a 37k hot skill bonus from all the certs I studied for. We are recently married. I’m discouraged because I feel like I can’t save and spend my money the way I did before. I know marriage is supposed to be united financially, but since we are recently married it’s tough to give up my freedom financially. Advice?

With Tell Day around the corner, I was wondering how soon can we submit resignation letter whilst not affecting our bonus payout? That's assuming it's worth hanging around for.
