gracias, 'lams.  i'm now going to binge and watch the royals and skc like a proper adult

[pissclams]

i'm going to do the same sans binge, because i have more respect for myself than to poison my body with alcohol and/or drugs

How did they get my picture?

Well, have decided not to quit without first finding other job.  Thanks goemawer's for the practical advice.

Should have plenty of time for message-boarding in the meantime.

Some don't
Don't crap in your trash can.
Don't call your old boss an inverted ahole.
Don't do a butt cheek potrait on the copier machine.
Don't put a dead skunk in the employee lounge fridge.

[slobber]

Sound advice. Per usual.


Gonna win 'em all!

Here's the scenario: I've turned in my notice at my current job, but I can technically still get my last semesters grad classes reimbursed through the company tuition reimbursement program before I leave. Is it stupid and petty to turn the tuition reimbursement form in for the $2500 when I'm leaving in a few weeks?

Probably.
I can't believe that your company doesn't have a clause that requires you to pay the tuition back to them in the event that you leave within a couple of years.

Yeah, it's stupid on their part to not have something like that if you jump ship right after getting tuition reimbursement, but oh well. Guess I'll suck it up and not turn the form in

I'd turn it in, but I would feel awkward about it if you have to actually hand it to a person who knows you are leaving.

[michigancat]

Why didn't you wait to turn in your notice?

[Mrs. Gooch]

Why didn't you wait to turn in your notice?

Yeah, Ideally you should have turned in the reimbursement request before the notice.

[meow meow]

ok, I think I got this, here's what you do.  go tell them that you actually had a change of heart and are staying with the company, do this asap.  Turn in your tuition reimbursement tomorrow morning.  Come back Monday and say, sorry guys but I got to follow my gut.

2500 is a drop in the bucket for a guy that just leveraged a fat pay increase into a bigger increase from a new employer.  Just move on with your life.

2500 is a drop in the bucket for your company.  Turn it in.  You have an obligation to your family to get dat money!

I would do this, feel bad about it until lunch time, drink your lunch, then  from there on.

Yeah, the $2500 obviously means more to me than to my company, but I just feel like tool doing it, maybe I can justify it by the fact that I'm not getting last year's annual bonus because I'm quitting before it gets paid out.

Then def do it.  My last gig had a bonus rule about being eligible for last year's bonus as long as you are still employed by the new year(jan 1st).  I quit on Jan 4th and never got my bonus.  Fuckers.

Edit: my job is usually pretty good but sometimes the field assignments are unbelievably shitty i.e. this week

  Here is a Zillow map of recently sold listings in the area:



So yeah...

Well that's illegal.
