Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | (show all) It's DONE!       #146388 - 02/03/05 01:27 PM Edit Reply Quote TommyNY Reged: 04/29/04 Posts: 1530 The deal is done. 15% raise, nice sign on bonus... I should start at the end of the month or so. The stress is gone, I have a few more gray hairs, but I have a BIG SMILE from ear to ear. I have officially given notice as they're doing the background check. Once that comes in, I can give my notice. Thank you everybody for your kind words!

We knew it'd happen! You said taht this year would be a better year with a better job, and you were right. You serve as a good model for anyone that is unhappy at work and afraid to look around.

I need to find out how many sick days they offer and stuff like that. Right now I get 7 days which is ok. I know the healthcare plan is fine at the company. I mean, I don't want to make a big deal about the sick days but if its just three (pure speculation on my end) and with my stomach I don't know if I make this move. I still have not given notice to my company. Like I said, I need to make the proper inquiries tomorrow but if I don't like what I hear... Am I crazy? -------------------- Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: It's DONE!       #146572 - 02/04/05 12:26 AM Edit Reply Quote doubletrouble Reged: 11/14/04 Posts: 1530 Loc: Canberra, Australia Nope you're not crazy at all. With our bellies we need to know how many sick days we have available! I'll never be able to work! I'm sick for months on end sometimes. Can't see an employer saying "yes dear, just take 3 or 4 months off, see you when you're better!". Good luck. I'll have my fingers crossed it's enough. -------------------- Amy Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: It's DONE!       #146591 - 02/04/05 03:45 AM Edit Reply Quote Sara-Sage Reged: 02/04/04 Posts: 5508 No your not. I was once offered a great design job but turned it down because there were NO sick days. Ya right. Ask them about benefits. If it's a good company they'll give you enough days. Maybe they give personal days too? But I wouldn't volunteer that you have a condition and might need a lot of sick days. That might scare them a bit. Don't give your notice until you find out this information. I agree with your dad.

I get 25 in my job, Padhraig gets 28 (Tommy and Dalia's husband Asaf were very much aggrieved when we told them this at our NY meet up- the very much held it against Padhraig and I) Sick days wise I get paid for the first SIX MONTHS of continuous sick leave, and half pay for the next six months! This is my employer as opposed to the law though. Last year I took about 17 sick days - 5 cos i put my back out, 4 cos of IBS, and 8 due to 2 different respiratory infections. I need a doctor's certificate if I am out more than 4 days in a row but 3 or less and nothing is required. Sorry to gloat but its one good thing about the EU! -------------------- S.
