Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Fawk.
Annual self-appraisal (overdue step).
The corporate swimsuit competition.
1. Learn shit
2. Apply shit
3. Make money
4. Keep em happy
5. Rinse, repeat next year
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.
My Feedback
Credit TFOGGER : Liberals only want things to be "fair and just" if it benefits them.
Credit Zundfolge: The left only supports two "rights"; Buggery and Infanticide.
Credit roberth: List of things Government does best; 1. Steal your money 2. Steal your time 3. Waste the money they stole from you. 4. Waste your time making you ask permission for things you have a natural right to own. "Anyone that thinks the communists won't turn off your power for being on COAR15 is a fucking moron."
Surely, they could find someone young and inexperienced to do 90% of what you do for 40% of the pay, right?Originally Posted by brutal

Perhaps, but that other 10% that will kick their ass will get them fired and lose a fortune 50/100 client for forever in a heartbeat. What's that worth?Surely, they could find someone young and inexperienced to do 90% of what you do for 40% of the pay, right?

I'm also the ONLY guy in the company that works on one particular platform. Not all the time, mind you, but I'm it and it's 25-30% of my workload on delivery, and about 10% on pre-sales support and architecture (for which I don't get measured/comp on). 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.
Not close enough to retirement age to cash out? Maybe go back as contract hire.

Yep. Try as I might, I'll never be able to grow a full lumberjack beard. My dad and brother are the same way.
