And how much are those 20% shifts worth over long term?

My retirement contributions come in two chunks:

1. Employer match -- I am fully vested in that; I contribute 5% of my income and the employer gives me an amount equal to 4% of my income.
2. Employer contribution -- In addition, they add an amount equivalent to 10% of your salary to your retirement fund. That is the part that you have to put in 6 years to be fully vested.

Obviously the best scenario would be to stick it out, because you won't find that 10% salary contribution anywhere and therefore, you have to count it as salary. That, coupled with the fact that my employer pays 100% of my health insurance premiums, means that any other job I would get would probably have to pay me 15% to 20% more to make up the difference and that doesn't even account for the lost vacation time.

I really like where I work; I just don't particularly like my current job. I knew it was a possibility this would happen when I switched, but I felt I had to take the chance. If at all humanly possible, I'd like to stay here and just get a different position.

Okay, the employer contribution thing sounds amazing, but it wouldn't continue if you leave, which makes staying for those 20% upgrades not as important. The best option does seem to be finding another job in the same company.

I'd guess you've looked into that already, found anything interesting?

Nothing in this company for me now. There have been lots of job postings at other companies that I am qualified for, but I've been reluctant to apply.

Could very well be. :awe:

LOL.

Seriously, I really, really enjoy who I work for and it constantly gets voted as one of the top places to work. I get cool benefits obviously, but also, lots of cool perks (free tickets to sporting events). I've probably had better coworkers, but I can't top this place as a workplace.

I was just in the break room cooking lunch and some talking head on TV (didn't recognize him) was saying how the Colts are the most overrated team in the playoffs. Excuse me? Who on earth is saying they are great and going to go deep in the playoffs? No one. How can they be "overrated" then?
