Stop in for a cup of coffee
I’m trying to hang on at work, but it just keeps getting harder to take. Only 6 more weeks to the last of the retention bonuses...but since it’s 25% of my base pay, I don’t want to walk away before I get it.
After that, all bets are off since I will be working at an effective 30% pay cut for the rest of the year with no annual raise and no performance bonus coming at the end of the year.
Some of my quiet inquires are percolating up so perhaps I will have another option by then...I hope.
Otherwise, I may just take the Summer off while I look for another gig. I am about at my tolerance limit on this one. The CEO keeps telling me things that he has just barely learned that I already know and am expert in...like they are new information that I need to suddenly pay attention too.
His universe expands while mine remains the same. I’ve seen this act before and it always ends in failure. I trust my instincts and 30 years of experience to back them up...and it’s time to move on.
