    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Imagine living it--The thing is, I dont have the luxury of flinging my laptop across the room frisbee style and pulling a "fuck you fuck you fuck you, you're...well, no fuck you too im out" style exit, without some income providing place to exit to... I'm working on that side of things, oh so...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    It actually made me laugh. I know I'm not that fuck, its no biggy. Thanks for having my back though! You're not off base 100%. Maybe like 5% given one thing? She handles the house well but has an aversion to working. Things just worked before, with my previous job. Its an entirely different...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Im the only one with an income. Yeah. Reflecting on the situation over the drive out to the client site this morning kinda brought a lot of your points to light in my head. Id be lying if i said my entire family isnt feeling the weight of this shitty situation. I know its just as hard on her...

    Honestly..Take the opportunity imho. Theres solid advancement options and a significant increase in expendable income.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    She was upset i didnt object to the plans she made since i am not excited and do not want to do what she had planned. Except that i did object when it was brought up just caved quickly when my objection was argued.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    ....I'm starting to think heading towards divorce might be my better option. Just had a half hour long conversation with my wife, that was an argument about how if I didnt want to do something I should've said it....I said at noon today when it was sprung on me..I was argued with that it'd be...

    What do you do?

    So, Apparently, my boss's "plan" (whatever the fuck it happens to be) has been signed off on by the VP, but needs one more level of approval as per corporate horseshit. He's been told its just red tape and won't affect the outcome. Yet, he is unwilling to reveal even a broad overview of his...

    'Murica! But why has the marriage/divorce thread become a foody thread?

    What do you do?

    Figured I'd put this one in a new reply: This week has seen my department go from "support customer servers/routers/etc as they relate specifically to our product, and other internal IT tasks" to a much broader spectrum. A couple of ideas we've thrown out as a "haha that'd be cool" have gone...

    What do you do?

    His team is just me and one other guy right now. That may very well be the case. It wouldn't exactly unwelcome to the other guy, either....I mean, you can see he makes himself a good living, but who'd turn down more money for the same job? That said, there's a lot of cogs moving right now, the...

    Well. Its looking like one of my interviews may pan out. Im supposed to meet them Sat for a chat as the interviewer called it.

    What do you do?

    Well, I've had a lowball offer, and a couple more interviews. My boss here keeps telling me, in an almost begging way, to stick it out with him for just a little while longer and that he has a plan. I'm kinda like /shrug. If his plan comes to fruition first, we're solid bruh. But if I find...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    The job I interviewed for Wednesday came back last night (through the head hunter) with a BS offer, at the absolute bottom of the range the head hunter said was for the job; When I had told him what I would accept, which was slightly above mid range. I replied that I had given my number to him...

    What do you do?

    There's a chance I may not have to wait til Monday to set up that exit even. Interviewed this morning for a position, they have the salary set about where I'd land here. They called once to make sure I was still interested and tell me they have big plans for me. Then again just now to make sure...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    ....honestly this threesome thing is a horrible idea. Just look at her and another woman. Really imagine it. It would cause all kinds of heartache if she suddenly came to prefer the softer more supple feel on a good womans skin. The whole dynamic would change. Soon you would be having...

    What do you do?

    So not this company. In a recent state of the union they listed seasoned employee turnover as a positive so they could fill at a lower cost. This is in the same meeting where our customers dinged the hell out of us for no longer having knowledgeable support staff. They couldnt see the connection...

    What do you do?

    I'm assuming this is due to my post in the Marriage thread? She's taking some time off to switch career paths. My goal from my posts in this thread is to make what the shit I'm worth--Her income/lack there of is of no bearing on that.

    What do you do?

    If you're trying to answer it scientifically; What are you paid compared to market value for the same job functions/experience level? Not looking for hard numbers, just a question to ask yourself.
