Working at an agency that has reduced salaries since March (like most agency people, I think).

Only, there was no date cited that my salary would be returned to pre-COVID level. Is this occurring at other places? Should I rightfully be alarmed or is it simply because my agency (understandably) has no idea how long COVID will affect the numbers?

Alarmed creates a feeling of panic for me, but I would say to be proactive and vigilant. The money is out there, you just need to see who moved the cheese.

you should be alarmed. did they provide a date where they would re-evaluate the pay cut?

It got everyone different. For reference, ours were reinstated a few months ago.

yeah they should have given a review date

I know a bunch of places have reinstated now..

So I recently accepted a 12 month contract-hire position at a much larger company. Pay is more than 50% of my salary, and benefits/401k is covered by the recruiting agency. I was confident in my now manager, who told me directly this will become a permanent role. However, i’m nervous about where the economy is going to be within the next year, and after getting a few linked in messages to interview for full time positions, I’m starting to second guess myself. Thoughts? Advice?

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
