Job Offer!
By: Dr. F. Date: January 13, 2020, 9:00 pm

I have posted here on and off about my employment woes. I spent
about 8 months unemployed, and then the last 5 years
underemployed, with only an annual contract and no
predictability.
Well! I just got a permanent job offer! Back in the DC area! At
a decent (not fantastic, but decent) wage. It's actually at the
top end of the salary band for the job. The nice thing is that
it's a management position, in a new department, with real
opportunities for growth.
The only downside was that they wanted me to start in February.
Well, today was the first day of this semester, so I'm now
booked until May. I'm not skiving off at the last possible
moment at my current place. They've been good and supportive to
me. It would be nearly impossible to fill 4 classes at the last
possible moment. They seemed OK with that, so I'm hoping it
won't be an issue.
They're sending me a contract to sign, but I'm pretty excited!
It means moving halfway across the country AGAIN, but, well, I'm
kinda excited to leave the midwest, since all of my family is on
the east coast.
But I'm excited!

BIG CONGRATULATIONS! It sounds like the will be a great New
start for you!
I feel you on the job woes. After several years, I'm finally in
a great job that I love and pays really well for my area. I lost
my job a few years ago, not because I was bad at my job, but
because I was too good at it. I made too much money for my job
tier and some idiot bean counter came in and told the person
that be that the best way to cut like a million off our budget
was too get rid of the people making the most... forget about
things like productivity and actual job functions.
🙄🙄🙄 I was livid pissed at the time, but
now I think it was the best thing in the world. Plus, it was
really kind of fun to run into my old HR person and getting to
tell her I'm making more than twice what I did when I left there
and that is my starting pay at my new job. 🤷😂

So glad to hear!
I've been rooting for you through these frustrating months, so
I'm relieved to hear you're landing, and glad it'll be closer to
family and friends.
