Congrats to me

[Uppsala9496]

Aside from the signing bonus and 25% pay increase, the best thing is my former company has the policy to pay us the 2 week notice period to stay at home since I am going to work for a direct competitor.
I now get the holiday's off. I originally tried to request these vacation days off at the begining of the year but was denied because someone beat me to it.

Early birthday present for me!

Nice, buy me a beer eh?

(haha, you're actually close enough to really do it too)

 

[Evadman]

Buy me a beer too. I could throw a rock from my front porch and hit either of your houses. Not JS20's though, I would require an ICBM. or a really big slingshot.

I am going to hit the BWW in Palatine (the one off Euclid and 12) tonight. Wife and 11 month old daughter are taking me out. And I don't have to drive.

impressive in this economy :beer:

 

[Semidevil]

wait. so you got a new job, signing bonus, pay increase, and also an extra 2 weeks to stay at home...paid?


I'm just curious, but what is the reasoning for this stay at home policy?

that is awesome

I am going to work for a direct competitor. So, I get sent home so I don't go rogue and start writing bad business.
I underwrite insurance. I could easily go rogue and write $5M policies on crappy companies.

Rather silly since I could have done that weeks ago when this was all in the works. I'm not going to complain though.
Oh and I get to save $400 in daycare costs too.

 

[HardcoreRobot]

sounds like a great move all around. love the two weeks off paid.

a medium range (theatre) ballistic missile would work.

I wasn't much of one to net, more of a lurker, but this new job is going to be cutting in on that. I'll have to make up for it in the next 2 weeks since it is too cold outside to do anything.

 

[Turin39789]

I can haz job too?

 

[child of wonder]

Congrats. I just got turned down for a job that would have also been a big step up. Tech market sucks around here.

No it's not. There is nothing wrong with this economy but a bunch of rich ass people losing a shit ton of money, and trying to make everyone feel like shit about it.
