how's your face?
haha - for a second I thought you were throwing the '80s insult (at least where I grew up) "so's your face" at me for some reason. face is reaching almost acceptable levels of normality - shaved for the first time last night, which I'd been avoiding sue to both chin and upper lip being all scraped up. thx.
This is why some of us avoid mgmt like the plague.I'm getting pretty efficient at writing up employees. Since becoming a manager 6 months ago I think I've done at least 15 of them. I really wish people could just show up and do the job they were hired to do.
More and more every day I feel like...
dude, you have almost no hair. and as slow at swimming as you claim to be, how much do you really think this is helping?WHAT IT DO. 2400 yard swim before work. I was rocking the new swim cap.
what'd you get?
didn't have any, local grocery store doesn't carry anything decent.
Suck it up nancy.
Assuming United has a PR department.
A new thing this year is a management level pay grade for non management "expert" level engineers. This allows engineers the ability to make moar without "managing" anything.This is why some of us avoid mgmt like the plague.
That and taking management positions tends to make you dumb over time.
Yeah - my former employer had a "technical fellow" position that gave introverted technical people a path to more $$ without heading into management.A new thing this year is a management level pay grade for non management "expert" level engineers.

I have a few years before I hit the max at my grade, but it's nice to know there is another step.
my company is structured similarly. "management" tract and "technical" tract (engineering functions only really). it's harder to hit the same pay grades on the technical side, but once you do it's also harder for them to terminate you if you were a manager at the same pay grade.A new thing this year is a management level pay grade for non management "expert" level engineers.

The good managers I have known were sh!t engineers. I like to consider myself too competent for management, but that could be just what I keep telling myself.
I think that is similar to what they are trying to do here. Right now the senior engineers just move teams every few years to keep working, but for no additional pay. They just recently ditched the "supervisor" title that was title only, but thought of as being next in line to assume manager and created a pay scale instead.
Want some 505? I'll grab some at Costco and throw it in a box for you.
nice! that's what i got. you'll be pleased with it.
