Toner is counter-cyclic.

'Grats DB. It's very good to see someone moving up the ladder when so many are being knocked off of it. Much success to you and yours.

[scared?]

i don't know how many dozen times i saw someone get promoted at dell only to get laid off 6 months later...prolly like that everywhere is what i'm thinking...

He didn't say "grand" he said "grades." In a typical company there are several salary grades. For example: 1 - 3 might be part time/hourly, 4 might be $30k - $40k, 5 might be $35k - $50k, etc. The ranges usually overlap between grades. Companies typically give smaller raises to people above the median of a pay grade. Basically this caps how much you can make in a particular grade, forcing you to get a promotion if you want more money.

Thanks for finally admitting why you're an unemployed bum.

[Whiskey 7]

Congrats DB

onya mate

[R00k]

Congrats man.

I was promoted at my annual review in December, and then got promoted again to supervisor last month. Kinda bittersweet with all the layoffs going around these days, but very reassuring.


edit: which is also why I've been too damn busy to do much posting lately.

[ek]

top shit

[ek]

oh and why the fuck would you let your missus pick out a fkn holiday house? fuck that.

[xer0s]

Maybe cause he's too busy banging his new secretary?

[Underpants?]

[Bilirubin]

'grats!

[axbaby]

the company i work just got bought for $500 million Canadian. the new company promoted me (actually i was already but now i have an official title) to head of the geophysics department with a nice raise.
i guess they did this to keep the key people in place and to let us know our jobs are safe.

my whole industry is crumbling , i am one of the lucky ones to still have work.

[Underpants?]

sweet! did you have any vested options in the previous company, fatsbaby?

What is your industry, axbaby? Seismic? And where are you that it is collapsing?
