InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 In the majority of work situations, you get out of it what you put in. I hardly try at work and my current station at work proves that out. After the time I've put in to this industry, I should be a regional manager, but I hate sales and banking and skate by. I wish I did something I liked so I could work on being more successful and making some real quiche. I'm certainly not lazy. I like hard work, just not sales. Dammit man, you're repeating yourself and making excuses. Stop it. No you stop it you get the cause and effect, so hey, it's whatever. much different from "I don't know what I could do differently" coupled with "they must be incompetent."

Iphonenkinder 558 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Wouldn't that qualify you as and alcohol induced bi-girl? No. I get the inquiries from friends, usually in the guise of "When are you going to start dating?" Sometimes from drunk women, but I don't drink that much--so it always feels like, "You're saying this because you don't want to be drunk and alone. I can do better." Link to post Share on other sites

Tiltinagain 973 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I wouldn't say happier, just slightly less miserable. But it was a dead-end job and I knew it wouldn't be a good long term stay. And I thought it was necessary move to advance my career but Tilty disagrees. Wait, what? I don't think I disagree(d) Look out for #1 cuz nobody else is gonna. So pride? It's worth losing a valuable employee. Businesses expect attrition, I get that. My industry gives shit raises and they have to know it. 3-5% every year ain't gonna cut it, people are gonna look. And the company your applying too usually thinks you're worth more than the one you work for. Your company isn't going to volunteer to give you huge bumps in salary, so sometimes you gotta force their hand, I think. Again, only speaking for banking and what I've seen. Not pride. The desire to not have one employee coming back for more every six months on top of the real possibility of other employees getting wind of this and coming with their hands out. You're thinking like a person, not a company. it's basically the sales (financial advising) arm of the company I work for. good advisers are a relatively scarce commodity, whereas processing rtards are easily replaced. I don't know, I just think people aren't realistic about what makes them useful or why promotions exist. this lifer who makes 25% more than me as an A1 was bitching to me that some younger person who had been there only 10 months just got a promotion over him. "I know more than her" he says. that's very likely true, but you also refuse to help train new employees, **** around during the day and still work several hours of OT, and have never innovated with anything. Not sure I've ever agreed with anything you've written more. It was much funnier when it happened. I don't know. It was pretty funny this time too. Link to post Share on other sites
brvheart 1,752 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 yeah, leaving people off a ranking list is the worst. Sorry Hank. You can put yourself anywhere below Beans. You're a nice dude, and I feel bad I forgot you. I just did a quote through progressive for my exact same coverage right now and its like $250/year. I...might need to make a call to my agent. My cars worth $2,500-$3,000. I know I should probably just self-insure but for $250 a year...meh. If you get pulled over in Iowa without at least liability, then your fine will be more than $250. Palestinian Chicken is such a great episode. Link to post Share on other sites

InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 no really, my company has offices in both places and tons of listings. and every group on the planet would fall all over themselves trying to get someone with my résumé. if I don't change my mind, it's completely possible.

YonYonson 156 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 You'll be an expat. Like Hemingway in Paris in the 20s. Just with more computer games and less women but an equal amount of drinking. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Tiltinagain 973 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I'm not sure I'd want to live full time in London but Sydney would be sweet. And far less cold/foggy/rainy. And, BEACHES with scantily clad women. Don't think that's a thing in London. Link to post Share on other sites
YonYonson 156 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 If I didn't live in America (greatest country ever) then I'd choose to live in London. Very classy place I think. Link to post Share on other sites

Cha! Cha! 628 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Regarding lady parts, I went out on Sunday night to Chicago at the Hollywood Bowl, and found myself in a crowd of randy and drunk lesbians. TG, she's gunning for your spot. I wouldn't say happier, just slightly less miserable. But it was a dead-end job and I knew it wouldn't be a good long term stay. And I thought it was necessary move to advance my career but Tilty disagrees. I think it was the right move. Napa, if you do well in public accounting you'll definitely make over $125k. Don't sell yourself short. That "if" weighs heavily on him. if I don't change my mind, it's completely possible. Well then. Reminds me of this guy asking about a baseball trade rumor yesterday. His question was, "There are rumors that you may or may not be traded; is this true or untrue?" Link to post Share on other sites
