It was a bit of a #4 situation and #2 would have probably been the case if I lost that job but in the end it would have gotten me out of my first company and probably into a higher bracket wherever I ended up. It sucks when a company that is heavily dependant on talented, flixible and...

Thanks Brad, I cant believe I missed your post earlier. I really appreciate this.

I agree. Honestly, it's not about the money but it is about the money. It's more about the feeling of being valued as a result of getting a raise. It makes me feel pretty ****ty that I turned down an offer that nearly tripled what they pay me now. It was a time for me when I had worked...

Thanks for all the great advice guys. Yes, I have asked for raises but when it came the right time for me, when I really shine, it's the wrong time for the company. It's a large company in a rocky financial situation just trying to make the big turnaround, cost reduction is a major concern and...

Networking 15,000 4 layers between me and our COO IT recently got scaled down to around 200 Sorry, I'm not the most comfortable posting this stuff

Thanks Guys, I appreciate the overwhelming responses. There's a lot of good wisdom here. I know I've been pigeon holed as Danger described but I've always made myself available when there's an emergency situation. Origin, do you think I should make myself unavailable at the next request? I...

Understandable, but it would cost them at the very least +30% to replace me.

Hi Guys, I'm in a challenging situation with my career that I hope some of you successful types could chime in on. Here's my story. I'm a very capable specialist in IT who graduated with the highest honours in my program. Working that hard in school burned me out. I worked at a very...

Keep your chin up kid. Remember what I told you, don't act on your emotions. A sh1t day can make you feel like it has been sh1t all along and will be sh1t for eternity. This is all TEMPORARY!

IMO no girl in her right mind would think twice about the scars... what will make her think twice is your insecurity about it. We all have stuff we don't like about our bodies, just get past it man. I have minor scaring but still stuck with acne at 29... I'm often surprised by the looks I get...

He's right, your not the one who should be concerned about being an ass in this situation!

Fvvvvk I need to get a social life!!!

I'm always horny in the morning, it's only been appreciated by 1 woman I've been with...

No contact is exactly what you need. You don't need to tell her all that stuff though. Take a step back from yourself, look at the FACTS, not what you think she feels or you feel. If you were watching your friend go through this relationship do you really think it would hurt her feelings very...

Not a new truth but you guys helped me understand it much better. Thanks!
