Zephyr Posted October 18, 2017 Share #2 Posted October 18, 2017 I was wondering the very same thing? Has anyone heard from him? Maybe his boss wanted him to wait until the next day so he could prepare the pole, chain and shackles, similar to the way @Square Wheels keeps @Redfacedwalrus secured in his basement 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Redfacedwalrus Posted October 18, 2017 Popular Post Share #3 Posted October 18, 2017 One day I'd like to be mentioned without a basement in the same breath. I am more than the place I am shackled to. Um, #NotAllSlaves, okay? 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does his pilot's need for speed outweigh the pay and benefits of the new job in a much slower aircraft? (Note-- but still fast enough to be nonstop to Europe.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably trying to figure out how to fly two planes at once since his boss won't let him quit and he already signed with the new employer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second guessing does little good. You're on a new path now bub. enjoy it. It's going to be a lot of fun.........and probably a lot of hard work too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Kosciuszko Posted October 20, 2017 Share #29 Posted October 20, 2017 2 minutes ago, Wilbur said: I have been second guessing the decision The 60% raise your current employer offered was probably about the same as the rate he would have had to pay to hire a contract pilot until he found your replacement. And that's exactly what he would have been doing - shopping for your replacement - while you were flying around at the new higher rate. He had no intention of paying you long term at that rate because, as Goat pointed out, he obviously didn't think you were worth that. As soon as he found a cheaper full time pilot you would have gotten your 14 day notice and been out in the street. Without the offer that you just accepted. So, in effect, once your present employer offered you the 60% raise, you were out the door one way or the other. You made a decision to leave on your own terms, with the situation fully under your control, and with the future rolling out according to your plan. Don't look back. Start looking ahead to all the positives you foresaw in the job. While you don't have to be all Pollyanna about the decision, you can have faith in yourself and trust your own judgment. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change is always difficult, and it's tempting to want to stay with what you know. But there were good reasons you decided to make the change, and traditional wisdom is that you don't accept a counter-offer from your current employer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
