[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since you started working two jobs, has your family expanded its lifestyle? What I’m really trying to ask is are you now dependent on two salaries and losing one paycheck will cause financial problems?[/quote]

I was banking it. Only thing I did was up
401k contribution, do a 529 deposit and book flights for spring break.

Problem is my old salary too low. Which is why I was job hunting. I have two interviews waiting on as cleared HR already last week. They sent it to hiring manager. I would have ditched both jobs something better.

The two checks were nice but in reality the two jobs combined was my 2019 salary. All in I was making $400.  One in person demanding job. Now I need two BS remote jobs equal one salary. Mind you I was way over laid in 2019 which is why in Covid first person out the door.

This is my first “off boarding” where the guy who hired me did it. Usually I come in high priced. Down the road new CEO or new CFO or bought out they see high priced me sitting in office drinking my coffee and perhaps realize even at my best I was Phil
knight or Joe tore. Meaning they had great players. Phil Knight had Michael Jordan and Joe Torre had Derrick Jetter. I am good at hiring so if I hire right I can take credit. And I am not a cheat my second in command I often funnel then a bigger bonus than me and let him WFH or leave early and I cover and paid for  MBA. Like Phil Jackson I need my Michael Jordan’s. [b]But in remote it is like Phil Jackson at home watching game so why so I need him. [/b]

To be honest I fully staffed this dept on J2 I mean I got three new rock star hires in my short time. All making a lot less than me. I think this guy figured I got it on autopilot why not can me and take credit. A scummy thing. Because if and when I land my next big role. A big if but I am stealing all my hires if that happens. He made me dumpster dive laid off tech prior and people in middle of no where to meet his budget. I could easily swipe then and give them all 40k raises.

People bust my balls but I was C level one big job. I have big 4, multiple certifications. this guy also screwed me as I was going for a board seat in DC last week and backed out. Was worried the two jobs would blow it up.

Now I am in “monk mode” got a fire 🔥 I can put out at my start up with my new free time to show CEO I am still in the mix. Maybe they will pull off IPO and my 300k of paper pre-ipo stock will pop!! Calling CEO today to see if I can visit home office next week. Got to represent and seven months in basement hiding from J1.

This update is pure gold, thank you OP. Regarding the above bolded, is this why you are so obsessed with RTO on this board, because face time and schmooze is where you really shine?[/quote]

100 percent!! My BS is pure gold. I actually once in Big 4 sold Aerospace consulting work. I booked this guy who had 30 years experience in aero space who missed plane. I just did a one hour meeting off top of my head. Next thing I know they hire me for fishing, lumber, shipping, nuclear waste removal. They flew me to 20 cities. It was kinda like the Pantless guy on TV show Ghosts. But it don’t work remote.

It is like a stand up comedic on zoom. I need the feedback. I used to bill at $2,000 a day 20 years ago and I was booked 100 percent one year. But I be worth $50 bucks an hour today a guy in India remotely could do my work.

Well finished my days with J1 time to go to Starbucks
