    Just got a paycut, how to proceed?

    To answer this post "so if you are "getting screwed out of" all the bonus money, there really isn't anything to pay back when you get fired is there? You could hire an attorney and fight this, but don't expect to get a glowing recommendation for your next job. Hope you have a lot of money put...

    Just got a paycut, how to proceed?

    It isn't a paycut to my base salary. I work on a rotational basis, and about 10% of our income is in the form of bonuses for relocating on every assignment we go on, which can last anywhere from 6-12 months each. The structure of these bonuses have changed so that we're getting screwed out of...

    Watching this economy is like watching a drawn out car crash

    This ain't your father's recession. We're seeing a fundamental shift in our country, mostly for the worse. The groundwork has been laid for the past twenty years and only in the past year and a half has our market reacted to it Anyway, what does that spell for us engineers? Nearly all...

    Give explanation to manager about why I'm leaving?

    There's a good chance I will be leaving my current position within the next several months. Do you typically give your current employer a reason or explanation as to why you're leaving when switching jobs? Or do you typically give your 2 weeks and that's it?

    Start looking for a new job?

    Two months later and I still feel like this. Few issues I have with this position that I had not mentioned before: 1) This is more of a "maintenance" type job where everything is done a very specific way. Very little room to use technical skills. Give this position to any 16 year old with...

    Start looking for a new job?

    I recently started working for a large company straight out of college making around 52k/yr. Nearly the first week into the position, I realized i have absolutely no interest in what I'm doing. I also know that many of my peers right out of school are making much more than I am - at the high...
