Poast new message in this thread
Date: November 20th, 2017 5:45 PM Author: brass fantasy-prone crackhouse I spent a year looking for jobs only to stay at my current employer with an added title ("promotion") and a salary bump to 150K which also increases my bonus and 401K match
their one ask as I wrote below: "commit to staying long term" so I said yes, but I'm an at will employee ... in 2-3 years if I leave, I can say it's been 5-6 good years here, I can't stay longer ... probably going to be pretty angry when I leave then, but c'mon
played some high stakes chicken but I was willing to walk and that's the key
anyone else ever do this |

Date: November 20th, 2017 5:47 PM Author: brass fantasy-prone crackhouse the deputy CEO was like "idk if we can match this (135K)"
CEO had a few years of clients saying nice shit about me, apparently told my boss no way can we lose (pumo), offer more
I was totally fucking stunned

Date: November 20th, 2017 5:48 PM Author: brass fantasy-prone crackhouse THEY HAD ONE ASK: "please commit to staying here for a longer term"
I said yes, naturally, but in 2-3 years if I find a better gig I'm going to tell them it's just time after having worked there 5-6 years .... probably will hurt my reference from them, but I plan to use clients as my reference instead
they probably think I intend to stay for 10 years, but I was like "are you asking me to sign something? I'm still an at will employee, right?"
"Yes."
So basically they asked me to "commit" but I really don't think I owe them shit years down the line. |

Date: November 20th, 2017 5:51 PM Author: lascivious point kitty You don't owe them shit TODAY hombre. If in 6 months you get a better job offer it's time to skedaddle. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3803924&forum_id=2#34734268) |
|
Date: November 20th, 2017 5:52 PM Author: brass fantasy-prone crackhouse and when they say "you promised to stay!" obviously they can't force me ... I guess the only downside is that I hurt the "relationship" for future references so I should find client ones as clients won't care (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3803924&forum_id=2#34734281) |

"Oh, that's not what you had in mind, you still want an 'at will relationship?" |
|
Date: November 20th, 2017 5:52 PM Author: brass fantasy-prone crackhouse I literally said "I'm still an at will employee, right?" which obviously I am ... but I guess my point is that it's a completely non-binding agreement the only downside is that it hurts my relationship with them

|
Date: November 20th, 2017 5:54 PM Author: brass fantasy-prone crackhouse they might not even fucking remember
the problem is that my employer has a lot of "lifers" so to them it's weird to job hop but millennials need to
to me 3 years is a long time -- that will be one of my defenses, not that it matters, but I'll tell them 3 years in this industry is a "long time"

|
Date: November 20th, 2017 5:55 PM Author: brass fantasy-prone crackhouse I think so but TBF I also finally "came of age" w/ my # of years and experience so it was time someone made me that offer ... I think I can make the claim that it was the moment on the axis when I should be paid more, not before the offer came (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3803924&forum_id=2#34734303) |

Date: November 20th, 2017 5:57 PM Author: brass fantasy-prone crackhouse it's hilarious to me in some ways that's basically why I did all those job interviews and apps ... all just to get some HR person at a competitor to write me an offer letter (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3803924&forum_id=2#34734323) |

Date: November 20th, 2017 5:56 PM Author: brass fantasy-prone crackhouse just in terms of take home? I know, it lets me save a lot more $$$
any thoughts on the "long time" commitment they made me "agree" to? I know I can leave whenever I want, but it'll probably piss them off, but if I stay 2-3 years I think that's sufficient |

Date: November 20th, 2017 6:10 PM Author: brass fantasy-prone crackhouse I'll probably never get another non-step raise (like i'll make about 153 next year, and so on) so I'll have to leave at some point to advance (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3803924&forum_id=2#34734416) |

|
Date: November 20th, 2017 6:06 PM Author: brass fantasy-prone crackhouse Problem will be the next step. I'm making more than market for my job so anything I'm qualified for over the next couple of years will never match the pay. I genuinely might be "stuck" for a while, so that's why I demanded a higher title, too, to rack up years with that on LinkedIn.
My end trajectory probably tops out between 200-250, so I'll need a double income life ... better cop a law shrew |
|
Date: November 20th, 2017 6:08 PM Author: filthy nowag Yeah I'm kinda stuck because my employer offers better job security and benefits than anywhere else I could go. I won't really find a better employer in my line of work, even if I find a job that pays more.
Internal promotions are my only path and they are very stingy with internal promotion raises. They're happy to give me a fancier job title and small raise every few years, but realistically that's all I can expect until I'm much more senior. |
|
Date: November 20th, 2017 6:10 PM Author: brass fantasy-prone crackhouse Same here man. I have a lot of security, great benefits. I'm almost a prisoner, and it angers me how people basically assume if you stay at a place you're never able to be hired elsewhere.
How could I leave this? |
|
Date: November 20th, 2017 6:12 PM Author: filthy nowag Yeah it's not like I am starving to death here on $120k. We can all think of cool things to do with an extra $30k of salary each year but I am in no urgent need of additional funds.

If it was me,and I generally liked the people I worked with/for, I’d plan on staying at least 2-3 more years before looking outside again. |
