Thanks. Now I can add $9,828 to my FIRE fund. If the dems win big, maybe they'll extend the benefits from 6 months to a year and double my money!$378 / wk
Hopefully, I won't be around there long enough to have the j*b market tank. Right now they're scrambling to hire more of everybody that can credibly pass themselves off to our clients. Project managers are fighting over engineers. Life is good if you consider it's still officially w*rk.
I may have had my last career performance review Friday. I had to interrupt my usual 3 day weekend to appear interested (old habits die hard) and show up for my performance review. I was told that I'm doing so well that the formal reviews will no longer be necessary unless something "comes up." Informal reviews will be less frequent.
This actually has left me with mixed emotions. I have targeted to model myself after "Wally" of Dilbert fame. As a former manager, I can't help but feel that I had successfully achieved marginal effectiveness. Now, I'm told I'm on the high end. Maybe the bar was really this low all the time and I wasted extra effort for years.
At least I was told I'm getting my second 5% raise for the year. Ever since I've been there, come February and August I get a raise whether I want it or not.
All I can say is that once you've decided you're FI things get so much easier. I used to worry about w*rk. Sometimes it's even "fun" now. This forum may need to do an intervention.
