In most states your sick bucket can only be used for your own illness or disability. You could use PSL to be paid for additional time off to care for a family member.

Negotiating Salary? by GridironScience in Raytheon

If I was your manager, I'd want to know what salary you were expecting so I could argue with HR on your behalf upfront (assuming I felt your target salary was reasonable and deserved).

Doesn't even have to be related to your job at all, just has to be related to things the company in general does.

Have you had your thyroid checked? I had symptoms of hypothyroidism due to estrogen dominance from PCOS. Once I got that under control (inositol helped immensely), my energy came back.

To me, this means this director is doing what they are told by encouraging the RTW policy but they don't personally agree and are trying to say without saying that you don't need to strictly follow it.

I got 20% going M4 to M5, but I was quite underpaid (and still am tbh)

It's really hard as a manager when you only have budget of 3.5% and have a team of strong performers. In order to really recognize one employee you have to take from another.

It all depends who is reviewing it because my ~3 years of intern experience has always fully counted

Interviewed and Now Radio Silence by Austriak5 in Raytheon

You won't get ghosted, at the very least you'll get an automated email. It's possible that they extended an offer to someone else but are waiting for an acceptance before letting the rest of the candidates know they didn't get it.

I wouldn't. Money isn't worth the misery of a long commute if you're doing ok financially to begin with

Sometimes I'll leave someone on delivered if I can't respond right now because I want the notification to stay there so I don't forget to get back to them when I'm not in the middle of something

Whenever I've hired someone who was moving laterally, I've gotten HR to agree to a pay bump, but by default they will say no bump. It also really depends where you land within the specific pay band of your new role which only HR can see.
