InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I forget if I even updated the group on my career chat with someone pretty high up in my company, the guy who is stonewalling me but pretending not to be. He basically tried to turn it into me asking for compensation or a title and I didn’t engage. I explained that the ask is for more responsibility and that I am assuming the compensation and title will be there long-term. I’m not starving, I don’t care about 2020. Said that verbatim, told him I was aware that that could be used against me in the comp committee. I pushed for involvement in his team, and he said something about maybe making a temporary, limited spot for me. I started quizzing him on the stuff I know they discuss that directly relates to my current job, making the argument that in practice, I’m never going to be in the room for the pertinent conversations. He tried to shoot the first one down, I raised a second one that had happened the prior week, and he cuts me off to say “let me decide how you can help me.” I told him that, just because I’ve got a problem, doesn’t mean he’s obliged to help me, and I know that. He threw out something along the lines of “I do want to help you” while he was processing. He wants to retain me (I left the door open to him telling me to F off multiple times) but he doesn’t want it to be with his group. He is aware that the firm’s relationship with me is about as bad as it has ever been, all the pressure on me to move back home, etc. My unwillingness to make a comp or title demand is another awkward factor for him. It is a weird situation. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Sondland’s texts were hilarious. He may as well have said, “for any future impeachment hearings, I would like to commit to the record...” And obviously his counterpart was wise to the game. Something along the lines of “let’s stop texting about this please.” I was not sure what to make of it originally, because I was under the assumption that these were all Trump appointees, and anyone out of line would just be insta fired.

brvheart 1,753 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Thanksgiving plans? I'm going back to heaven/Iowa. I'll be there from Wednesday through Sunday. I'm looking forward to it. I would like to give hunting a shot. (I've never really hunted, which is crazy considering where I come from) I just need to gun and a hunting season to be open. We will see. We will definitely be 4-wheeling and having fun with family. Link to post Share on other sites

I hope that's not the case or my plans are ruined. I think a hunter's safety card is sometimes needed for game where a state license isn't necessary, like some fowl. For other game, like deer, a license is required I believe. It seems to be pretty similar among midwest states. Link to post Share on other sites
brvheart 1,753 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Deer gun season isn't until mid-December in Iowa, but I saw 2 bucks, 3 doe, and about 40 pheasants while driving around on my parent's land on the four-wheeler. Pheasant is so tasty. I might need to just bag a few, but without a dog, it seems like a huge hassle to find them in the brush. Link to post Share on other sites

That's fair. I just don't see a difference in eating steak, chicken, or venison. I would never kill something just for fun, like a lion or something. But I have no issues with killing something for food. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Don’t know if this is happening to me, but apparently the review process for a good chunk of the company will be an assessment, and then compensation will be communicated in a letter afterwards. Never heard of such a thing. Terrible development for those people, I’d say. Link to post Share on other sites

InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Yeah. Mostly just hanging out with FCHL people now that this place has slowed down. Software change at work is right around the corner for me, scrambling to keep all the fires contained, so not as able to screw around during the day anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
