This meant a lot of people who probably should have had engineering degrees or some level of engineering related experience were in over their heads from day one and the department didn't care because they charged the government by the man hour and not by actual accomplishments.

I wouldn't wish electrical engineering on anybody, that poo poo will break your spirit I did fairly well in a lot of the more difficult courses, but I just had some sort of mental block when it came to Circuits I. I ended up having to take it a second time. I still have a couple of pictures I took forever ago. Like, wtf is PE and what did I do to find it? I don't even remember how to convert poo poo to polar notation in order to solve something as simple as this anymore. ----- I've been at my current employer since 2016 (it is my first big boy job out of college). I've only been at my role (SAP DBA) since January, actually doing work on projects since March, but I've been asking my boss about when I can move up a half-step in employee level (it comes with something like a 10% raise). He wouldn't give me a concrete answer, but now I'm slated to start on-call weeks in September, so I'm going to continue to pressure him about that mini-promotion. If I'm competent enough to do installs, patching, BC switchovers, and now on-calls, then I've got the technical expertise to get what isn't even a full promotion.

The pay's good (but not great), but the benefits have been pretty decent: 8% 401k matching, 25 vacation days (plus holidays), unlimited sick days (I've never had anyone give me poo poo for taking a day or three off because I'm sick). The real reason I haven't switched to a new employer is because I've gotten bounced around to three different teams doing three completely different things (Siebel development, Datastage development, and am now a DBA). Siebel work isn't something I want to do and neither is Datastage work. I've wanted to get into DBA work for a few years now and I've only just gotten my chance. I'll probably start looking once I feel I've got my feel solidly under me.

I don't even remember how to convert poo poo to polar notation in order to solve something as simple as this anymore. SAP careers are just laughably managed across all the big consulting companies right now and if you're in a IT org without consulting/contracting they have even less idea about how to handle you. There's promotion processes of course but they are weak and atrophied from the sheer amount of ring around the rosie. Love your employer on an ideas level? Fantastic, you'll be back in 4 years and 3 job changes making twice as much. We've just about gotten the gunk out of our promotion processes, waiting to hear on a promotion for a report that should come with a raise similar to where I'm at, which is probably the right amount for the level and specialty we're both in. That came with a conversation for my boss with his boss about why I'm not making more because I have 1.5 years more experience and previous leadership experience ahead of him. Cue round table LOLs about our currently pathetic salary track even compared to other parts of the same company and a reminder I'm here for fun and a 50% travel cap.

We're celebrating more people coming back to the office... with a buffet lunch. Spearheaded by an eternally sick and coughing manager. I'm not sure they're not trying to get infections spreading.

The other week the leadership team sent an email reminding people that while everyone has to be back in the office, feel free to wear masks. A co-worker's dad died of covid last week. Now we found out the co-worker is infected as well. Today they sent out an email reminding people to stay home if they feel sick. Was talking to a formerly remote worker (they changed policy and now if you live within X miles you have to report to the office even if you were classified as remote since you were hired) and he said he's seeing lots of coughing and sneezing at the office. I think they instilled too much fear into people telling people they can look for another job if they want to work from home. Thankfully I live outside the report to the office range, so I'm spared all of this nonsense.

Guys, I think I’m quitting my job that I hate and foregoing $90k in unvested stock options in the process. The new place seems awesome and is offering a higher salary but drat, what a loss. Should I try to suck it up for another 9 months or just accept it and change? It’s just become so unbearable lately :/

Then you're out the new, awesome seeming job and you're still not vested at your current place. Only you can determine whether you can make it another nine months or not, really.

And by then, they’ll have given you more unvested stock in the hopes that you continue to buy in to the sunk cost fallacy. Some places will offer their own unvested stock to new hires to replace the golden handcuffs - probably won’t hurt to ask.

Even if new job says no to that,  anyway because gently caress your existing hateful environment.

I'm back to creating material for what I would do in the future if we had stock and if it didn't immediately sell out when we have it. Look at this regression line, look at how meaningful it could be in an alternate timeline where Nero didn't attack the USS Kelvin.

So they’re finally putting my promotion through soon after dragging for months and I’m going to end up making less money. Stupid hourly->salaried switch. Part of me wants to turn it down but I’m really only here for my resume anyway. May as well stick it out to open doors for the big money jobs down the line.

$90k stock option goon: What is the value of that stock right now? Does it fluctuate? Whichever the case, the consensus, at least in yospos, is that stock options might as well not be present when negotiating.

Salary is definitely the most important thing when looking at a job: it’s what you live on month to month. Bonuses, stock options, etc. are all nice, but I’d much rather have the secure monthly pay than the potential of a bit more money if things work out exactly as the business predicts
