    Oh Damn

    My Boss doesn't play fair. He knew that I did not want the OPS Manager job and have to fly a desk. So he offered me a 25% pay increase in addition to the 8% raise I got a few weeks ago...

    ****

    I am now the Operations Manager of Cabulance Comfort (paratransit) and Arcadia Ambulance (BLS Transport Ambulance) with over 30 employees and 15 vehicles to manage plus dealing with local government agencies..

    I may regret this


    or

    Quit your bitchin’. You got the title AND the raise. I usually gave just the title.

    It is also an excellent way to pay mediocrity. The “usual” is mediocrity, which is another term for the average. If you note, I did not say I chinched on the superlative.

    There goes all the fishing and bike riding trips, but you'll have more money to do nothing with.
    This is your mind on drugs!

    Like hell it does. I'm leaving next week on a 10 day vacation through the Pacific Northwest. I will not sacrifice my lifestyle for a flipping job.
