You mean there's no casual sex Friday?

Yes I agree and it's my fault for taking this crap job for so long. I just need to motivate myself to find something else. Hell, I've been telling myself I am going to try my hand as a standup comic for a long time now. :rolleyes:

It's garbage living in Seattle. Tulsa on the other hand? It's enough for home ownership.

It's okay here...certainly not living the high life at that wage.

**** no. That's drinking namebbrand soda pop, and doing better than PB&J every single day for the kids. The important part is home ownership.

Screwed would be putting it mildly.

You could easily do free lance work for tech companies or your self doing design work for websites and graphic ads. EASILY make $25-50 per hour. Use Craigllist or many of the freelance boards

Also you need to learn Flash and other higher end programs

In general, the answer to "Am I getting screwed at my job?" is pretty much always an emphatic "yes".

If spent wisely :D Bein debt free, yes it is.

The more money you make for the man, the more money he's willing to pay you. If "the man" is going to lose money by letting you move on then maybe he'll be happy to throw you some more. But yeah, working for your old man isn't always the best idea. If he's not willing to go to bat for you, who will?

If you really know that much about the business, product, supply, marketing et al, go out on your own. That'll fix em.

If you've got a good skill set you can at least do a little job hunting to see what the market IS for your skills, and then determine if you should go or stay.

I'm trying my ass off to hire qualified people for 2 positions right now, and can't seem to find solid employees who can get very far away from girlfriends and other bullshit. I'd like to see someone who wants a job actually demonstrate that to me and they'll be working monday for quite a bit higher than going rate for that job position across the state.

You're only worth what it would cost to replace you.

Lol. Yes was probably posted a lot.

If you love doing it but hate it there start up your own by find an investor.
How can a place have that many employes geting paid?

Everyone is ****ing you there. Start looking. Tell them to fire the girl and/or yourdad.. sunds like they don't do shit. Hell tell them to give you the 30k and can both, business would get 60k more profitable.

Or, as people have said, that much experience and do most of the work. Give them their options. Steal sme clientele. No loyality to people that take advantage of you.

But line stuff up first.

and seldom paid accordingly...

Cost and work he does. They have to find someone to replace his abilities andknow the programs.

If they become dicks before you leave. Password the programs and delete all your designs. Document the times you worked off the clock.
