Knowing you makes me feel a lot better about myself.

:)

I get tired of that shit "Oh the next thing will be better, sometimes it will, sometimes it won't. " Everyone told me I was going to land a better gig and that didn't happen. I went on their facebook page and posted on their page that they are moron liars and I hope santa's raindeer **** them with their aids dicks.

Is that who it was? That happened to my cousin who loved working for them; traveled the world as a buyer for them. Worked for them for years. Then one day, all of a sudden, replaced by a 25 year old for half her pay.

She wound up with a better job later. So it worked out.

Pics of both?

Unfortunately, no.

I think it depends on what you do but certainly, it can go either way.

Though you remain in best regard I am disappoint...

Well I know my cousin is married. Don't know about the new girl but I don't personally know her but of her.

Ahhhhh, the ol' NPV of future cash flows problem. Yeah, that takes me back to undergrad. FI330PB. What they don't tell you in class is the real rub of finance is getting solid numbers to analyze. The garbage in/garbage out rule.

Since I'm long from the world of academia, I'd probably answer e.) WHAT THE **** ARE YOU SPENDING A MILLION ****ING DOLLARS FOR IF YOUR DISCOUNT RATE IS 10 PERCENT YOU GOOFY ****? :D

Sorry Dave. If shit gets worse you can always crash on my couch

You know of her butt? Do tell... :hmmm:

Graph it out, son!!

shit, well good luck

MikeMaslowski has presented an opportunity to me through IM. Thought I'd let everyone know that he's cool beans.

Thanks a bunch sir. I'll check it out!

Sorry to hear it man. Hang tough.

Nope. Heard another guy with 30 years got laid a few months back. 6 month severance.

I'm all good financially. It's just an odd thing to have happened. And I 'knew' it was going to happen. I just knew it somehow. Bad Luck Brian.

Thank you. And thank you for all of the KC sporting wins this year that were root caused to your super duper fandom.

Sorry, Dave. That's understandably annoying about the cert. Though I suppose it can't hurt in the job search.

On the upside, it sounds like you're in a pretty good place. Masters degree, work experience, a couple of months notice plus a likely severance. Good luck

Sorry to hear, edave.

After waking up and reading through this thread, I think my suggestion was a tad under your qualification level/pay grade. You wouldn't need my recommendation, lol. However, it is hard to verify if an at home gig is legit, but this is one of the rare real ones and to a less than abled guy like me, is gold. Wishing you the best and if you decide to try it out, I will definitely talk with my boss.

I think you have a blatant case of racism. Talk to a lawyer.

He got laid??

Is that some kind of bonus severance package??

Yeah. Well, I was posting about this on CP, and BigRichard said it was obvious racism. "Blatant" was the word bandied about...yessir, I'll hold.

There is a joke behind what I posted... If there is one from yours I am not getting it.

That is so racist.

I did tell him "good luck with your layoffs". It was funny.

Oof.

if you were into small town living, with a masters in IT and a PMP, you could easily slip into a GM role at a ntca backed indep telco. The rules are changing, so if you aren't hung up on pots lines, you would have a career for as long as you wanted.

Big news eDave!

I called to tell them I might switch providers, so they offered me $59.99/month for 2 years for 100 mbps speed. I was paying $73.99/month for 50 mbps.

Hope your day is going as well as mine!

Good stuff. Why would one have issue with a pots line?

It'll be more awesome when we read that you're back in the saddle at work.

Not funny.

Sorry Sac. Sorry sorry sorry. Didn't think that one through. I deleted the comment. Delete yours and it will be gone.

Wasn't trying to make fun of C.

Peace.

what/who's saddle?

So you get another contract or perm job?

Perm. Back with HP. My sitch caused some internal chatter apparently so now they want to retain me. They are laying off someone else instead. Call it stacked ranking.

I've accepted but will be moving forward with finding a new gig anyway as it should never have come to this, IMO. This course of action was my rebuttal to them when I first got the news. Vailpass has been very very cool with his headhunter lead.

Hope to play off salary offers and/or move above Project/Program Management.

Thanks BRC.

um,well,so much for that other guy huh?

(i'm not bashing you,just talking about life)
sucks for everyone

You can't live your life worrying about the other guy

:clap: You da man eDave even if your politics are out of whack.

grats. eDave.

I know,just a variable. Man kind has failed to the point that everyone has to be the other guy.

Trust me, I feel it. I really do. It might make some happy that it was an off shore worker. And I know he will be fine. In the end, his communication skills were not enough. Simple tool, hardly utilized appropriately.

Push it deep into their butt and then unleash a long refreshing piss

Glad to hear you have some leverage now.

I'm getting close to taking the first perm job I've had in 12 years or so. 5 interviews in and its looking good. Everyone seems happy with the tech and what I bring to the table. Could be happy there. Maybe a chance to get off the contracting merry go round.

Still got an interview with the European branch and a face to face somewhere to go.

My politics suit me. As does yours.

Thanks a bunch srvy. Appreciate your response.

Funny. I'm considering going back to contracting. Much more lucrative and FT is not, in any way, guaranteed as I have learned. I took a pay cut to go FT with HP.

Benefits through a contracting company make up any difference. So my options are wide open. But the WAH is pretty sweet.

I talk to outsourced people every day with no communication skills but they still work lol

of course thats direct tv and they are instructed to act stupid

Yeah even though it was contracting I always had benefits too. Just the way the game is played.

Contracting got me where I am. It really gets a bad name. People don't take contracting jobs because they want more stability. But, it's an illusion. They can still get rid of you at any time. Priorties change. Business needs change. Downsizing, merges etc. Nothing to do with your job performance and you can be out on your ass.

This job would be a raise from the contracting salaries I've worked at since down here in Florida. Most money I've ever possibly made. Serious visible position with a global Fortune 150 company. Top 5 admired company. Kind of excited to get out of the contracting game for a change. So its probably going to blow up.:D

They hiring? :D

Got me where I am too. There is the saying, the best way to move up is to move on. But the ceiling has been met for me K-wise. But I do advise all my friends that lose their jobs to pursue contracting. That's where the hiring is. Adapt to it.

But... settling in somewhere is really nice. This 'stick and move' thing just doesn't allow you to really, really shine. Learning the FTE politics is easy since as a PM you always deliver and have all encompassing skills.

You interested in Florida? Or somewhere globally? They are aggressively expanding. Investing some big bucks into a new market for them.

I'm a single dude with nothing holding me back. Talk to me.

My new assignment is associated with SCCM. Been there. Boilerplate.

They are a Microsoft shop.

Most things I worry about never happen anyway.

Good work Dave. Glad you got back to work.

Thanks ese.

Grats man! Glad to hear it!

Well, god damn, Davey! Glad to hear it, bud.

Now get back to work.

Yeah, that's good news. Glad you got a gig

This ****ing Davey shit has got to stop. I go by Bear.

Thanks TB! I'll get it all set up then not work that much as always. Bear works smarter, not harder.

You're a female dominant lesbian?

Yes. Problem?

Not as long as you don't live in Oregon I suppose

Great news Dave. Rock on man!!

Are you still in the Navy?

I thought about college or the Navy. Went to college. Wise move. I was never going to be an Astronaut anyway.

Congrats, Bear!

Piss in their coffee
