Update on the job offer front

[dazymo]

Last week my supervisor pulled me into her office to talk a bit more about the job offer and it turns out that they're only gonna be paying me $10/hour. Huh. I was definitely expecting closer to $15. This changes things radically because I didn't even feel like working there in the first place and the only reason I'd stay was the money. Sigh.

Office politics are a part of every company, the difference just lies in the form they take. Sometimes it's being nice to others, other times it's just dumping your trash on someone else's desk. The one thing I've learned is that if a job doesn't "feel" right and there's nothing substantial compensating you for your efforts, then don't take it (if you can at least somewhat afford to, that is). If you want to hear what it's like to work in an environment like that, I'd suggest talking to Myndi, she's been doing this a year now.

As for fixing the books? I'd be very, -VERY- wary. SOx requires companies to take extra measures with regard to the financial condition. While it currently only applies to Wall Street registered companies (I think), I wouldn't be surprised if it will be expanded. And if a company goes belly up, the -last- people getting paid are the workers.

Think about it?

I totally agree with you, Leans. And Ally, you didn't tell me about the number fixing crap. They're skeevy little rats, aren't they?
