I hold no such power.... he will get the same annual review I do and the same disappointing % bump I do most likely.

The way companies treat IT workers you would think good programmers were desperate for work lol
Does dis mean if you did have the power to give me a raise you would? :shifty:

I wish my job searches were that easy. I get right up to the point where I think I’m going to be offered something, then I don’t hear anything for days/weeks.

I'd give you a -0.05% bump.

There is a guy here that is a really good programmer that is heavily under utilized. He's a lifer though. He actually started off at the place I used to work.

That was me for like 8 years at the other job. I even interviewed where I'm at now 2 times. Thought for sure I had the last two (before the one I actually got).

The only way I can explain it is God at work. How do you only have 1000 posts? Seems like you post more than that.

The first time around a few months back I was told, “We’ll be in contact next week.” I finally had to email them to see what was going on. Didn’t work out.

This time around (same place) I’ve been told they want to make a decision by the end of the month. So I could still have another week and a half to wait.

In the meantime I’m going insane waiting for an answer one way or the other. This is literally a life-changing opportunity for me and they know it.

:dunno: 99% of my posts are either here in the bar or in the beliefs section.

You'll be in my thoughts brother. I know where you're at right now.

Edit: I mean, I know where your head is at, not that I have eyes on you at all times. That would be weird.

Yes and then I would raid your pension fund like all the good corporate leaders and buy myself a 3rd house or my own private island.

Do you call each other Ares and Clone at work or do you have real names? Cause that would be cool

Ares did call me Clone here and there for my first couple weeks. I have never once referred to him as Ares IRL unless I was quoting something from CCS.

A group of friends actually call me Monk so that's why I use this name all the time.

I'm guessing PC Left 4 Dead 2? If I could go ahead and get to making fistfuls of money I'd like to kill zombies too.

I would need to actually purchase a PC that could run it first. But yes, when that happens. I live with females that don't have a passion for killing zombies.

Sometimes I wonder if Clone's heart is really in it.... then I see him standing in a doorway running a chainsaw that all the zombies are running into...

Saved our butts...there were so many zombies trying to get through that doorway. I may only hit 9/100 zombies with my gun, but I hit 100/100 with a guitar. I melee because I care.
