Stop in for a cup of coffee

Certainly pull every dime out of them you can, but you have made it clear that is not the issue. What you really need is for them to respect you. They basically tell you that you are indispensable, but ignore what you tell them and make stupid decisions. :wtf:
You are spot on. Thanks to this reply and the others since last night, I made up my mind and acted.

I walked into the CEOs office and told him flat out what my new rules are. I am the expert, you are not...and you will not crawl up my *** pretending you know more than I do any more. From now on, I speak and you listen.

If you don’t respect my 30 years of experience with 10 new drugs approved worth over $5 billion dollars and start playing by my rules...then you have 2 choices.

First, fire me. Second, I hand you my resignation right now.

What’s it going to be?

Then I just stared at him.

He looked like a truck had run over him.

Needless to say, I am still employed...and tomorrow starts a new chapter.
