So had some things of interest happen this week. We had one of our VP's at work put their notice in this past Monday. I've worked with the guy for 21 years through 2 companies. I knew he was leaving as he confided in me, but already had what's listed below in the works.

I left a nice 5 page report with my boss (President) Thursday morning with a summary of how I am technically next in line with salary surveys and supporting data......but I took a neutral stance in all of it. Really I was at a point where I could gI've a fu@k. Plus I was leaving at noon for vacation.

The VP that is leaving and I have virtually turned the company around in the last 6-8 year's. I implemented an idea/process about 5 years ago that's saved the company slightly over $200K a year since it was put in place. Also I'm working on a project that has saved the company about $23K per month since the start of it 5 months ago. And it isn't even in my department. It has to do with Wastewater treatment which is our EH&S managers job although he does just enough to get by.

He (President) called me almost every 30 minutes Thursday checking on m. He heard through the "grapevine" I had two job offers out of the Blue in the last 9-10 days, although he didn't let on he knew. The VP walking out the door told him that unless he did something, he would probably lose me. He was VP of technology while I'm a lowly plant engineering manager. Plus one of the job offers is with the VP. It's back at a place we worked at in the past before the company sold.

He said he wants to discuss my future with the company when I get back and that the owner was flying up in his private jet to meet with me.

However if they did the right thing, it does mean a 30%+ salary increase and restructured bonus program. But I'm the type that feels like things happen when they are supposed to...so I'm just going to enjoy my vacation.

Whatever happens....happens!
