Sucks that I've been productive for 40 years and one bad quarter now could land me on the street like an old used up dishrag.
Surely, they could find someone young and inexperienced to do 90% of what you do for 40% of the pay, right? [Sarcasm2]Quote:

Some of it is annual contract work that rebooks year after year.
One of my client's purchasing guys decided they were not going to use our company any longer - through no fault of ours. My contact found out, and made a huge fuss with exec mgmt that they couldn't complete two highly visible and critical upcoming projects without me. That and some smooth plays from our execs got us back into the account and consequently last year the company closed the largest ___ platform sale in NA for a particular OEM that also has three letters in its name. Do you think any of that matters? Hell no.
Hopefully you're still there after the dust clears. Unfortunately we both know how age plays. The closer to retirement, the more they look for any excuse to escort you out.Quote:

Ha, You are a very curious one to see other dudes beards. Is it because you cannot have one yourself?Quote:
