Sorry for your loss ...

Guy was walking his golden retriever. As we passed, the dog sat on my foot and looked up at me for a head pat. As soon as my hand touched his head, he had rolled over for a belly rub. I feel tricked...

Let Gasely stay where he is. He obviously feels comfortable being the lead driver and doesn’t like being the #2 driver. Where that’s an improvement could he go where he’s the #1 driver? Alpine? Don’t know if that’s a step up from at AT car....

Fwiw, my company is going to a hybrid schedule which will be... interesting. You will only have to come in 2-3 days of the week into the office and WFH the other days. I guess that’s a concession?...

[quote]Technical overhaul top of Capito’s to-do list And this writer understands, it quickly became clear there was a major issue with the technical structure, with trackside engineering and factory engineering not aligned. They were reporting into different channels. This was a legacy of Paddy Lo...

Williams going through a big reorg announced this week. They did a lot of analysis and figured out that the car designers and the people on the racing side didn’t talk to each other at all anymore and haven’t for like 3-4 years. There used to be a director who was an intermediary between the two gro...

[quote]You people all act like you aren’t replaceable[/quote] Talent may not be the best word but I think you highly underestimate the knowledge it needs to do some of these jobs. It certainly is not a quick process to build up that knowledge and simply put, it’s a huge risk right now and it stre...

Well, I know JPM and BoA have been pretty open about saying they were going to continue to reduce office space in NY until pretty much just sales staff and high value front office staff were left. Now it’s been a long time since I heard that so I don’t know if it’s true still but no reason why not....

No, but you are usually seen as less valuable. I cannot overstate how important networking has become as banks continue to shift further and further into advanced fintech. Not to say networking can’t be done remote but there’s no doubt it’s much harder. ...

[quote]If you can't trust someone to make you money without looking over their shoulder, cut them.[/quote] I don’t think your point about hierarchy of management is wrong but most jobs at banks don’t make the company any money fwiw. ...

I work for a bank. I asked to work remotely full time rather than return to the office of a few months and I was told only established management were allowed to do that. Also, the understanding is that if you do work remotely, your probably the first one fired if it comes to layoff. The people ...

What do you mean “bummer”...

Probably the best news we get all E3. ...

Yeah, but I have a hard time in edta listing who I am. Like I have gotten feedback that I’m good but slow. But I don’t think the people who gave me the feedback know how slow I am or realize how uncomfortable I can be at times. I think my value lies in other facets but those aren’t a point of discus...

It depends on the situation. But you’re really shite out of luck when you find yourself in a position when people depend on you being exceptional and you can’t produce. I’m way too honest for my own good but I have no doubt I’d bite off more than I could chew if I wasn’t ...

It fits. People these days have an odd reaction to it. Because it’s so unexpected ...

People don’t use welcome very often anymore. And I think a lot of that is because it’s a difficult word. I made a post years ago about how I thought saying NP instead of your welcome was a bit too informal and got called out for it, Per the definitions, [quote]Dictionary Definitions from...

I don’t disagree. But I also think it’s not as simple as that. The products I produce for my clients are confidential and my clients are confidential. And what goes into me creating those products is confidential. Our clients rate is as part of a larger service package, size of the client is not an...

I mean, honestly, for my position, it’s 90% client service a job title or a job description won’t accurately portray all the work we have to do. It’s only through conversations that you really understand all the work we do. i.e. our main competitive advantage is we allow our clients to set things ...

Well, technically the job responsibilities aren’t different in any way. The main difference is the sr is supposed to be able to operate more independently and handle a larger workload with much more involved deliverables. I actually don’t produce that many deliverables though because I am more of a ...
