LOL, I applied for a position with Pheasants Forever in late December and my buddy told me they did not consider me because my asking salary was to high and I was like wtf, the salary I asked for was a significant cut in pay from where I am at now and I probably would have gone lower. Nonetheless, I have never heard from them even after prompting by my friend that was at the time one of their Western State Director.

You're far from alone in that regard. Apparently asking for 50k for my services was way to much for a manager position..... But they want'ed 10+ years experience with MS XP!!!

Then the IT guy just leaves one day from a mental collapse and everything begins to smell like toast.

Want to hear a good one? All 4000 of our laptops decided the are going to take 13 minutes to boot up. 3 minutes to close out of a VDI. :icon14:

nah, I tell bigboss man right before I leave and he will contact Desktop Architecture team. They create all images and have access to the core servers for testing and deploying a fix.

You guys have a team dedicated to architecture? 0_o

I just thought the help desk techs were suppose to do everything for 1/3rd the pay....

eastwest2300 01-25-2018 08:33 AM

them fvckas were expensive... :mad::mad:

Leingod 01-25-2018 08:33 AM

I heard they exist, but I have never met them IRL. Them ***** are better at hiding and dodging work than I am. :bowrofl: :icon17:


I kid. but yes, we have a DA team. It is no small feat to keep up on everything with as many users we have and just how important it is to keep everything up and running.

eastwest2300 01-25-2018 08:37 AM

make that money duuuude..

Tested out a new beard balm. Smells like a faint vanilla and cigar paper. Not bad at all.

No patchouli this time? ;) I hear you guys on the pay scale thing. The company I work for now is the first company that has not only 1) paid me more than I asked for and 2) given me yearly reviews and raises ranging from 8% - 10%. It's a smart move on their part. When recruiters contact me (and they do, often) it makes it fairly easy to say no. Unless they offer me a Quality Director position... that'd make me consider it.

JLarson 01-25-2018 09:25 AM

Reps out all!

Leingod 01-25-2018 09:32 AM

No more patchouli. The smell was getting overbearing and obnoxious. I now smell like a vanilla Yankee Candle store burnt down a cigar shop.

JARblue 01-25-2018 09:44 AM

Everyone have a wonderful Thursday and safe travels :tiphat:

JARblue 01-25-2018 09:48 AM

Also, please add more tags to the thread :tiphat:

Leingod 01-25-2018 09:54 AM

I just gagged at the smell of those lol

madwi 01-25-2018 10:04 AM

I actually dont mind the smell of them, in little amounts.

Leingod 01-25-2018 10:10 AM

Far to sweet smelling and the worst aftertaste more than a day later.

When a recruiter ask me what my pay was for what I did. And I tell them it was in the 6 figures range. They faint. I made more then my plant manager. :rofl2:
