Dam Hard

[Art Vandeley]

Another one down. Feels good to get it off my chest.

If that is the hardest, wow, you've been fortunate or sheltered..
In any case, good luck with your next endeavor. Every now and again you gotta stick your neck out.

I would agree I have been fortunate. Maybe I have been over thinking this but it was a tough thing for me to do.

i thought this was gonna be a thread about Dams.

they usually are pretty hard.

I had to check to make sure it wasn't a Greenhorn post before clicking on it.

You won't regret it. Either more money or being happy is always a good move.

I live in a highly conservative area. The whole, "low wages are a good thing, don't like it find a different job!" Mentallity. So I did. Each time I got pulled in the office and offered more money. One in particular offered me $3 an hour more. I had just had my yearly review a month prior and begged for a raise. I got 15 cents. I was losing my apartment because i couldn't afford rent. I said, "Why couldn't you offer me that a month ago?!" I new at that moment leaving was the right choice. No matter what my happiness was more important to me and profit margins more important to them. I immediately clocked out and symbolically skipped to my truck in front of everyone else.

Go be happy.

I went through the same thing last July. I had been there 8 years. I chickened out on Friday but ended up letting my boss know Monday morning
