I would probably stay at a job where I get a 140 k bonus.
Right? LOL
If that's part of the compensation and he can get better elsewhere, no.
As a Controller you're probably not loving the job anyways.
as a contractor and/or as his own boss hes probably seeing he could make double and/or be a CFO real fast...
maybe he can see he's getting ripped off....especially if he's the centre of the universe for profitability for the company.
did he make them $10 million a year and theyre throwing him crumbs?
If he stayed another year while being miserable, does a 2nd large bonus change his life if anyway?
@@chrislim7976 comes with the territory.
I agree with the others...if I received a $140k bonus, I'd stay, at least for a little while.
Until the check cleared, at least
Have you ever worked a job that ate your soul and all of your time? Sometimes the money isn’t worth it.
@@ATLFUNKCARTEL it is with the rona reducing the chance of him getting any similar job when he needs to work again.
@@ATLFUNKCARTEL true, not that wasn't the situation in this call. They both absolutely loved the employer.
@@BaconMountainMan liking your employer is not the same as liking your job.
Don't forget the taxes that are taken out of the bonus, like 40%!
Well well well two motorcycle guys like finance eh?
Ahhh never expected to see CyleCruza here but now it all makes sense... bikes in cash, house in cash, debt free.... Love your videos man!
Set aside the money for taxes of course.
Yeah that’s probably their income bracket if he’s getting a bonus like that (meaning the bonus will be charged that much because it’s additional income subject to the full marginal rate)
That's still about 84k bring home
Maybe the dude just needs a 1-2 weeks vacation, get his head straight. That always helps me when I feel overwhelmed--be terrible to leave a great opportunity.
I mean I just went back to work this week from a 2 week vacation and I feel great. Sometimes you just need a break away. 🤷🏽♀️
1-2 weeks vacation isn’t enough tbh
This is probably it. I've worked at jobs where I was so burnout and was going to quit but then felt okay after taking a vacation. People don't realize they're just burnout and need to rest.
*MAYBE THIS MAN DESERVES A BETTER WIFE? MAYBE THIS MAN DESERVES BETTER IN LIFE, IF HE IS BRINGING IN THE BIG DOLLAS THEN HE DESERVES THAT EXTRA... MAYBE THE WIFE NEEDS TO F'ING WORK*
Large Lump sums often has a habit of clouding people's judgement, seems like a decision to make when the excitement dies down a bit first
Well said.
@michael smith except he didn’t espouse that point here
@@fkillah ‘espouse’ - absolutely cracking piece of vocabulary there, 10/10. You made my day and it’s still early!
Yea! But maybe hes tired of cleaning up financial messes.
Great point!
I was handed a $10K bonus check (on $150k income) the same day that I was planning on giving my notice. Decided to put it off for two weeks! Yep, felt kind of weird. No regrets though.
Okay my boy chuck you DOIN IT
@@fuse911😂😂😂
Dang, he must really hate his job if he is considering leaving it and he’s making that kind of money.
If he's been cleaning up sloppy books at one acquisition after another, I don't blame him. The kind of stress that comes with the incredibly long hours and trying to find and fix other people's errors (or malfeasance) probably hasn't left him much time or sanity for his family. That's the stuff heart attacks are made of.
This is EXACTLY what is wrong in todays workplace. Corporations love to dole out huge bonuses to management but expect to hire slaves for $10 an hour with zero benefits and no raise schedule.
John Delony subtly hinting for a $140k bonus from Dave throughout the episode lol.
This makes me feel like I am doing life wrong
Did you see the eyes both Dave and the Other guy did when she mentioned the bonus amount? Yeah, it doesn't seem to be common
Right?! 😂
@Jason Smith Or doing sales for large enterprise software, for example. Easily make 500k+ bonuses in that field when you close 10 million+ sales.
Be loyal to your bank account only. Employers can fire you easily so you should only be looking for your own interests and not the company's.
Be loyal to your company, no one has to hire you.
@@dedalliance1 nah youre wrong
@@stevennakhla7803 lol.
@@dedalliance1 😂 Your as important to a company as much as the guy standing behind you. We’re all just a number.
@@David25522 depends on your company.
There's no such thing as loyalty but gimme $140K bonus, I'd be inclined to stay
Right. You never make a major decision when you are reeling from a loss or celebrating a big win. You want to be level and grounded for those life changing decisions.
For real. I'll never understand why people think they should be loyal to a company.
@@netdevnick Because a company isn't a company it's a group of people? That's like if your Dad (assuming you respect and love your dad) started a company and then treated you well paid you a good income and you're like 'Dad there's no such thing as loyalty to a company I'm quitting'. The 'Company' isn't what you're being loyal to it's the people in the company and if you really respect them and they're over at your house every other friday having a bbq and sports night or you're out at the lake with your boat all together that's your loyalty, to your friends and your community in the work place. Now, if you're shipping packages for Amazon yeah there's no loyalty because they don't care about you.
Nope
@@dedalliance1 That's really well put.
They should have "Why does he want to leave his job" right at the beginning. The loyalty question is a distraction.
@Anne Day Yes, but she didn't get to that until 5:19 when she says the books keep piling up, which we infer means he's working too much. Then at 6:21 she says he's not in charge of enough decisions. It's not until 6:33 when Dave asks "What is he looking for in the new job that's different?" So most of the time was wasted.
Delony is thinking "$140K bonus, Dave let's talk"
Dave got exactly where this took me. The bonus is the after effect of hard work and that may be for five years of hard work.
Solid advice to the end.
maybe the husband should call in with his thoughts so we don't have to guess what the situation is :)
I get a turkey every year at the hospital for a bonus.
I don’t even get a turkey 😪
I use to get a free turkey for thanksgiving working at a grocery store when I was younger
I don't know if a Turkey or a Starbucks gift card is better!🤔
I did too was it Alvarado?!
Don't worry about loyalty to your company. They don't have any loyalty to you.
I don't think that is fully true. It sounds like it is a great company and they want him to stay. A lot of BIG companies don't really care about you. Like Walmart but most small and medium businesses are great places to work.
Wow if someone is giving you a $140k salary I think they are loyal enough
So glad to see Dave appreciate loyalty. So many companies just see people as replaceable wheels and cogs. I've stuck around at the same company out of sense of loyalty 🙃 but it wanes some days
yea bc hes the boss of a big company ofc he appreciates loyalty 🤣🤣🤣🤦♂️
Man got paid 310 to do his job and he's complaining that he doesn't have control over decisions...
Right? Sounds like no risk, high reward situation to me. At least stay a few more years and build a nice investment account
@soapfanaddict that's fine, when you can afford to do so
@soapfanaddict okay say he gets a job with all those check boxes you listed (he won’t because we live in reality), will he be happy making 1/2 as much? There’s always something
If he wants to make decisions he needs to own his own company.
@@a004 I mean, he lives in North Carolina, he could live on 35k a year if he really wanted to. 'Affording' to do so is subjective to your lifestyle and what you want out of life.
The bonus is for what he ALL READY DID!
Dave shut down his “thought experiment” real quick.
ROFL no joke
enjoy the appreciation and stick with it. feel for the owners of the acquired companies, their dreams were bought out and their lives are completely shifting, if they had someone like your hubby( my wife) does same thing. its priceless and god given talent..... you are a light unto my feet and make the path straight..... he could own the company hes working for one day
money is not everything. when you feel you put in all the work but are also left out of the bigger decisions, the money becomes sorta insignificant....I'm in this spot now at my job..
Loyalty is a concept that makes you do things against your self interest.
Sounds like the mafia to me... I heard the books are a mess, loyalty said 100x , huge bonuses ; and leaving town 🌹 🐟
If I gave someone a 140k bonus I would feel bummed out that they were leaving, NOT because I just gave them a bonus, but because this person is worth this bonus and the loss would be a great individual. The money is not a loss, the loosing a great team member is the loss that's the bummer.
As a controller, the world is his oyster and he could make as much or more working for himself!
What’s a controller ?
Abel Casanova An experienced, high-level accountant that’s oversees an accounting department.
@C B well someone must think he is worth $140k bonus..
If you do that, then you’re responsible for 100% of your health insurance and retirement and you pay double payroll taxes. That’s why I’ve always viewed working for yourself as a crapshoot. I know someone who works for himself and he regrets it for those reasons.
Not true. That’s quite high compensation for that role
A company will never be loyal to you, especially nowadays. They can get rid of you tomorrow. Take the money and do what is best for YOUR family
Exactly give the respect that you get.
When he has kids, it's not about him anymore. I would stay in this job until this pandamic is over. It seem like this job is doing good during a tough time.
You are vary wise, good advice
If he loves the company and is the controller. He has some pull in the room. He needs to go in and have an honest convo about what needs to change.
I think his company is going to make the decision for him if they watch this video.
The 140K may be hush money and time to leave ........ The situation there may be ready to blow up / they are NOT following his advice
Yeah exactly as a controller he’s getting a 6 figure bonus and immediately wants to move out of state? I’m thinking someone’s been cooking the books. She’d better dust off whatever skills she has before he ends up in jail.
Why is he still just a controller. Sounds like the bonus is a poor runner up prise for not being CFO.
@@tomw485 I don't think he is going down in flames. I think there may be structural issues with the company he is working for. I would not be surprised if he voiced the issues, the company did not listen, but he got the bonus for being a good soldier. He just does not want to put up with it anymore. Dave was alluding to it when he started asking why at the end.
Didn't look at it that way but I find it hard to believe a company would give u 140k to leave
@@tomw485 but you have to wonder why he wants to leave. Sounds like a small business that is growing fast. That is a tricky transition and things don't always scale. But who knows. He may have a really good offer at a different company.
It sounds to me like he is looking for a future where he can continue to grow in his career. The pay may be good, but there may not ever be any opportunity for advancement for leadership positions.
A Controller is pretty much a leadership position. As the controller, he knows his "bonus" was a drop in the bucket.
Currently doing accounting school...hearing that this kind of job with that kind of pay even exists is encouraging. :D
Accounting is very lucrative!!
Accounting school? Consider taking English classes for your electives
Making 170k a year and 140k bonus. That’s a job to have ! I’d stay till I die, unless I’m in Cali, I’d move right away !

@@victormarquez2976 lie
Unless the job and lifestyle sucks.
Hello Victor!!
The problem with a huge bonus like that in one year for multiple years of past work is that I could bump you into a new tax bracket that you might not have been in if it was spread out of multiple years.
He sounds like a great guy and with a 140K he should start his own firm, if he’s a controller he could be making millions a year
An 82% bonus, even if they're "good guys"... sounds weird. Like they realized they under paid him by 60-80% and are trying desperately to fix it fast before he goes fortune 500.
As a accountant that has done closes messed up books are headache
If the books are a mess, is that bonus possibly a mistake? If not, stay a few more years, get everything in order and then go.
Good work environment, good people, good pay. Do NOT go anywhere.
Right! The grass is not always greener on the other side!!!
Cleaning up 🧼 messy books seems like the husband’s forte! That’s his specialty!
Don’t miss the forest for the trees. He just needs to be creative with what he has.
Yeah man, I remember when I was younger. I thought I was hot stuff, got into stocks, and absolutely failed. Learned my lesson. Moved on to safer investments, such as playing at the casino.
Sh*t I'll work there!!!
For bonuses like that I'll stay!
Trust in Christ.
FACTS!!!
Yeah but he only gets that bonus once a year
I mean loyalty isn't that rare of a thing. It's just rare to find a company that worth being loyal to. At 170K a yr job I'd be smiling everyday coming in until I retired.
Yeah the job isn’t the problem I think the wife is just greedy.
@@queen.kristal8395 Well yeah, agree. One issue with being a stay at home mom and not knocking it. Is when the kids aren't home I'd imagine boredom sets in.
Best call ever.
They're 1st thought was to leave the job and move. It seems like they started this decision wrong if LEAVING after getting a 140k bonus was their BEST idea they could come up with!
I have a friend that’s a Urologist. He gets insane bonuses, and his income is even better, and he doesn’t miss a lick. Stay at your job people.
A urologist that doesn’t miss a lick ?
@@chief5981 😯🤣
Early in the call she mentioned want to move to another state; is he wanting to leave because of the job itself or for relocation?
sounds like he just needs a long vacation.
Dave is right that most companies don't have great accounting. Especially for a company that acquires companies, because most of the time, those new companies are smaller and on smaller systems.
I'm in accounting as well, and I've seen it myself. I've been at companies where I've said "I've never seen anyone do their books like this!" And switched companies, and then said the same thing. Accounting is, honestly, one of the easiest jobs that people make SO difficult.
Dave is also right, he should approach management (as a controller, he's pretty high in management, and should have some pull) and say "here's what we need" and if they don't listen, THEN you can start looking and even be real with the CFO and say "hey sir/madam, I've voiced my opinion, it's not going in the direction I want, so I'm putting some feelers out there."
I have to work Overtime for my "bonus". Dr. John looks like he could be a grown up famous cute child actor from a 1950's style sitcom.
That company needs to hire an Assistant Controller, cleaning up the books of another company is hella work - (from an accountant)
170k/year and a 140k bonus? And you want to leave?! Why isn’t the guy calling? Is the wife the one who wants to move? Why not tough it out for another 10 more years, get a few more of those bonuses, and retire?
Said the same thing you would have to start someone else and u may not make the same money 💰 be lucky because a lot of people can’t even pay rent or put food on the table.
@@queen.kristal8395 exactly. “We just got a 140k bonus, what should we do?” Uhhh…. What?
@@RyGuy1538 lol
Maybe he wants to use the money to open his own business.
John: Let’s do a little thought experiment, so Dave you gave me 140K. 🤣
He should have a discussion about his authority. A controller should have authority to "control".
Controllers are senior auditors and accountants. They don’t say how the money is spent, they make sure there’s enough to go around and everything is good for audits
He is valuable BECAUSE they keep buying companies with bad books. He will be less valuable working for a company with it's books in order that isn't acquiring anything.
I would only leave for a change of geography or a massive jump in pay (say $500K to be CFO of a bigger company).
Would I ever leave this company? Look, I'm all about loyalty. In fact, I feel like part of what I'm being paid for here is my loyalty. But if there were somewhere else that valued loyalty more highly, I'm going wherever they value loyalty the most.
then you arent that loyal after all... grass isnt greener on the other side
@@user-qq5xs8nl1j the joke
Your head
Why is she calling instead of him? I think this was an excuse for her to show off how great her husband is. I’m guessing he’d be embarrassed if he knew she was calling.
I don't know who, but someone actually needs to hear this, you've got to stop saving all your money. Venture into investing some, if you really want financial stability
Pure wise comment.
I understand the fact that tomorrow isn't promised to anyone, but investing today is a hard thing to do because i have no idea of how and where to invest in these?
@@joannabrit9938 All you need to worry about is marry and divorce. Do that twice and you will have what you need.
Good pay and good boss. What more do you want?
Dude has a job that won’t allow him to make decisions and then a wife trying to make his decisions for him, or else why wasn’t he on the cal too? I feel like he thinks he’s losing out on his independence and his relationship and job may both be projections of that feeling.
After taxes, it's only about 80k. Not a lot of money in the big picture. Wouldn't be enough for me to leave unless I really wanted to.
In most cases, a bonus is given for a reward in work done except for a sign on bonus.
Loyalty...? Didn't know such thing existed, partially in silicon valley. Well there isn't any loyalty here, companies will dump you at a drop of a hat, look after yourself
The company probably sense this guy about to leave so they give him a 140k bonus as a quiet way to hold him back.
It is a fantastic question. Dave is right in that the bonus is for work and time performed. It should not be to buy loyalty. If the managers are upset that he is leaving soon after a bonus payment, then that issue resides in poor management behaviors and the guy should not feel burdened by that.
Guys previous accountant here. Take overs are horrible! He deserves it. Also not many people are skilled enough to handle take overs.
Haha in the industry I work in, people only quit immediately after bonuses are paid out. What is this loyalty you speak of?
Same but also companies lay people off right before bonuses so there’s no loyalty from companies either.
He got the bonus for doing great job. For his past performance. He can leave if needed.
He is highly valued at work. He got more leverage than others. Being Controller for Accounting is high pressure high responsibility job.
What's a bonus?
I heard a guy say, "If you're making a $1million a year and hate your job, you're underpaid.
Some people just don't know when they got it good and unfortunately their the ones that have it good.
You can only miss out on so much life before you realize money isn’t everything
@@carloslanderos6569 Money will be on this world rather have a Few $100K Before not caring about Money Average People need $600K Per 10 Years so you should get around $300K at Minimum 20 Years Before you go into Pension or want to Leave the Work Force
Interesting. Maybe ask Dave if employeers have or should have lojalty.

Hahaha exactly
Everyone is commenting wondering why someone would leave a job that pays $140k bonuses. I'll tell you why someone would do that: because they're worth it and someone else will pay more!
Especially a CPA with a masters or PhD.
ie the wife wants to stay on the gravy train, no matter how depressed and unhappy the husband is with his job. How can she make him stay in the job and stay unhappy.
If there is more opportunity to get these kinds of bonuses, then why not..else if you want to leave just be honest about it
If I made 170K? Did I hear that right? After taxes? I'd save 50k of it a year for sure. I could squeak by on 120K that's ten grand a month. That's my dream income by the way.
In the immortal words of Biggie - "Mo money, mo problems"
Why can’t you make that money? Where do you live?
@@euenfheiejrj who were you addressing? me?
@@mandysimmons2769 yes I’m assuming you live in a cheaper cost of living area if there aren’t jobs making that much money where you are. It’s all about location.
He needs to make the decision based on what works for him. Immediate is fine. Consider if he would have accepted another job offer. The new employer would expect him to start ASAP.
With that kinda money i could hire the real actor that plays "Jeffrey" from The Fresh Prince to be my butler
Chill lol
Not in 2021. You should apologize to the first African American you see for thinking this way
@@chief5981 So to himself? Lol
@@willelfakir yes! I should apologize to David for correcting him
Thinking like a broke man.
Good Advice
Sounds like the guy is over-worked and super stressed based on what I'm hearing. When you get like that (and I've been there), all you can think about is getting away from it. And the huge bonus actually makes it easier to leave because your financial pressures are suddenly reduced. But I agree with Dave, your 1st solution has to be to talk with management and let them know how you are feeling and get a solution in place. Sounds like they are decent folks to work for and that is not all that easy to find.
I stopped the video to say this. Y would he leave a job that just gave him 140k as a bonus? If they gave you that it's more where that came from right? Unless he has another job opportunity that is better and that he likes because he doesn't like the job that just gave him 140k hmmmm I don't get it..
We obviously don’t know all the details but money doesn’t guarantee happiness. That being said, 140K bonus isn’t nothing to sneeze about.
Ask to work remote. The company likes him and would probably accommodate.
Money isn't everything. You learn that very shortly after you get it.
I would give the company at least one more year. But if you were already planning on moving don’t stop your plans
Never be loyal to any company. Sorry Dave. But just not going to happen.
"I'm just saying Dave"
Hey John, company didn't give him 140k.. he earned it. Dave doesn't give you his money, you earn it..
2:50 Dave was like nah haha
If he got a 140k$ bonus, he might get more later, so why quit?
Take the money and run
Yesssss, "reset" the job!
Sounds like he has a really good deal going tbh. I'd try what they suggested and try and negotiate since these people sound like they would be open to it.
My grand father was an Accountant and drank a lot. The corruption he found with a lot of companies made him want to blow his brains out. Then you have to legally find a way to cover it up. That's what they pay you for.
If you want people to stay, you give them golden hand cuffs like faang companies. Stock options that vest after 2-3 years every single year, so if you ever quit, you lose like 100k
Many software engineers at FAANGs can be walking away from over $500k if they leave due to stock vesting.
I'd like to hear the guys side in his words.
When someone at the company here's this it's going to be a problem...
Let's hope not!!!!
If you have to buy loyalty its not loyalty. Leave
