InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Her response to me was that I can get started on all the things she is supposed to do. She is gonna push me to the edge on day 1. Why in the world would she think this is the appropriate way to approach the situation? Link to post Share on other sites
Essay21 2,385 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Nap I'm not sure. My boss wanted to have a drink after work so I will bring it up then. Strat she is tone deaf and it is one of the many reasons she would never have this job. Think of me here how you like, but in real life my emotional intelligence is exceptional, and what I do requires mostly the ability to make a negative sound positive. This lady is incapable of that, combined with her lack of credentials and she was easily passed over by me in 18 months. She has been here 15 years or so, and I'm sure it's a tough pill to swallow, but she has forced me to make sure she is removed and I will do so easily. No chance they give in. The question is will she quit before I can get permission to fire her. Link to post Share on other sites
InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Do they even consider people without the JD for your position, or the rung below it? Link to post Share on other sites
InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I can't imagine the frustration of being passed over repeatedly for 15 years, but seriously now, in year 3 or so, she should have jumped ship. Link to post Share on other sites

Napa Lite 3,278 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I need a new desk for home. I hate my current desk. I've decided to build myself a super simple desk. Just a piece of plywood with 2x4's for legs. Might even get some super sliders to put under the legs so I can pull it away from the wall easily. Yeah, that's a good idea. And maybe a little shelf in the back for the cables so I just have a power strip running to the wall. This is quickly becoming not super simple. Link to post Share on other sites
InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 It's possible, but you would need a CFP which she doesn't have. I'm gonna have mine in less than a year. Let's talk at that point. Really. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Essay21 2,385 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I'm gonna have mine in less than a year. Let's talk at that point. Really. Sure thing. They just hired a lady to a role mostly because she has a CFP, and I can tell you, having dealt with her while she was at our sister firm, she ain't nothing special. So you could easily be one of our investment or credit people. Issue is where you would live. KC office is shrinking right now, but we are everywhere. Link to post Share on other sites
Napa Lite 3,278 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Would it be worth it for me to start taking the CFA? I don't think I want to do anything client facing even if it means a lower salary ceiling. It just takes too much out of me to deal with people all day. If your question is "well, it depends what you want to do" my answer is "well, I don't know what I want to do but I don't want to pigeonhole myself". I enjoy making these models I currently do and that type of analytical stuff but I don't know where that best translates or if I'm smart enough to do this for a real company.

Essay21 2,385 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I mean it wouldn't hurt you, but like you said, if your role has no sales component you will always be limited on what you can earn. But it's a professional designation that would open up a lot of opportunities to you. Link to post Share on other sites
Essay21 2,385 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Do they even consider people without the JD for your position, or the rung below it? I will say though, with the job market like it is, they can and are getting JDs to be assistants, so it's not a great time to break in. I moved up crazy quick because of good timing, good sales numbers, and my Dad. My dad interviewed my current boss when she joined the company. She really respects him and it's been a huge asset to me. Link to post Share on other sites

InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 it sounds like I'm being made point man for this expansion thing that's happening at work. I am approaching it as though it will fold and yield nothing, but my boss is basically setting me up to get a massive raise if it works out. everyone involved is constantly stretching the truth and bullshitting so who knows. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Napa Lite 3,278 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 My only concern about the CFA is I don't know if my work experience qualifies for experience cause it's not like I'm out here valuing companies or managing portfolios and I guess I could say I've passed the tests and haven't gained the right experience yet but that's a lot of money to invest in a maybe. I don't know. I just want to make more money. Link to post Share on other sites

CobaltBlue 662 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Still at the hospital. Nothing really wrong...I guess they just want to monitor the baby for possible jaundice. Her last test at 5am this morning was 5.6mg/dL. For the sake of context, 60% of newborns have it to some degree. Anything over 5mg/dL is what they'd consider jaundice. When it hits 17mg/dL or so, they would put her under a lamp. Kind of annoying being stuck here though. They keep saying it's better to not have to go home and then come back, but we kind of disagree with that assessment. I'm on a recliner and my wife hasn't been able to sleep more than 20mins at a time since someone always seems to be coming into the room to run tests or ask questions. Hoping we're out of here sometime tomorrow morning. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Congrats though and I'm glad the wife and baby are doing well. She'll be keeping you up crying all night and interrupting your sex life before you know it. The baby I mean. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
