I think it's safe to say that you probably have the most bling-bling here!


i haven't been in the field that long, so i don't make that much money yet. i do have a lot of responsibilities at work, so i'm sure compensation will come in due time. my work is actually fun.

Pfizer is voted one of the top companies to work for. They don't only rank in salary either. Pharmaceuticals is lots-o-cash. I worked for a pharmaceutical company only 3 months when I switched to IBM (strange career path, I know) and they still compensated me for a whole year's worth of vacation pay among other things. I was like... whoa, I'm coming back if IBM doesn't pan out. ;) Stick with it huey. No matter what the economy is like, health care is where it's at.

God, I beg of thee... help our stock price.
Hey, that's your job!

The stock was doing fine when I retired! :) :)

Hey coming from LI... where'd you work out of? You know, we've been buying the stock at 15% off the lowest price each paycheck and we're still losing money. How sad eh? Can't complain, but I can if I need the money I've put into it! ;)

Got laid off this past spring from GE Aircraft Engines plant (IT dept) and ever since i have been a bellcaptain and a doorman at a hotel right next to Bengals/Reds stadiums. I make pretty decent money, pretty soon i will be trained to manage a rather large used auto parts business....

Self employed computer serviceman and working on being a commisioned salesrep for a company I do computer consulting for. Hopefully the addition of salesrep will help make ends meet. I haven't worked a 9-5 in over a year now. :/
