Thats probably the least bridge-burny thing you could do, tbh.

This is the holding company that owns your agency? If so I don’t think that’s even poaching, just “transferring” since you’re technically just moving to a different business unit in the same company.

It’s just called “changing jobs”. Don’t worry.

There is no loyalty in this business. If it’s a better opportunity, go for it.

“Holding Co is trying to poach me….” Most of the holding co have mobility guidelines to avoid poaching. Sounds wrong but go for it if it is a better opportunity.

This just happened to a colleague. No one is mad at them, but we are all angry with the holdco for being super sketchy about it.

I think this is fine, what matters to them is that talent stays “in the family” - it’s not like you’d be jumping to a competitor.

I've been working at my company just over a year and am still waiting on my 1 year review where a raise was to be discussed (other EA got raise at 1 year review and most raises happen at yearly reviews).

I'm having a lot of trouble pinning my manager down for my annual review to even discuss my performance, let alone the raise. Feeling the undervalued (and now underpaid):
