    Rate of Job Change

    A lot of it can be economy related. I mean, if you are taking a job for job's sake in a down economy the hiring manager should understand why you are looking for work six months later. Back in college we were told to expect to be in 10-12 companies throughout our career, that's ~40 years...

    unused vacation

    As it turns out, there's a section in the manual that says "Upon termination, employees will be paid for accrued but unused PTO. If accrued PTO has a negative balance, that time will be deducted from employee’s final pay. " drawn to design, designed to draw

    Job hunting skills and etiquette

    I found some great tips on engineering.com and also on theladders.com (you don't have to subscribe to the latter to get the free emails). Things like what questions to ask in the interview, what to ask afterwards in a follow up. And if you do get an interview, be sure to mention to everyone...

    Emails to Seniors

    And there am I in my bosses office this morning (he's the President of the company) telling him to F%$k off because he was slagging me on something. Aaah the perception of doing the right thing at times.... drawn to design, designed to draw

    Thinking about pursuing an M.B.A. and want to seek help from employer

    I have seen too many MBA grad with little or no work experience coming in thinking they can solve the worlds problems in six months. That being said, listen to what others have said on this board and ask these questions. 1. Does your company offer tuition reimbursement? 2. Does it have to be...

    File Revision / Part revision

    Up until now we have been saving a drawing as FILEXYZRevA.slddrw, then the next revisions being FILEXYZRevB.slddrw etc. The revision usually has been a specification rather than a change in the part. However this falls down if we revise the part because the part revision will update on Rev A...

    Default setting on Origin

    Thanks. But I was curious, as I didn't see that as a default in 2008. Was a default reversed? drawn to design, designed to draw

    good neighborhood, or better job?

    Look at it from another perspective and start your spreadsheet. List your pros and cons in two columns. This isn't to see what's pro and what's con but to see which "side" you are yearning to add to...that's your decision on what you want to do. Aside, I was recently headhunted for a job...

    No promotions in place

    Recently in some of the cities around Boston they had all the teachers reapply for their jobs. It's a cost cutting technique based on sub par budgets and inadequate funds. drawn to design, designed to draw

    Question about year end review

    I think it's been said above. We are all good engineers, yet only a few of us have suggested going to the boss for a clarification. My boss knows I love my sports and as such when some clients come into town he gets tickets to a game for us. It doesn't happen often, but it sure would suck if...

    No promotions in place

    We recently hired a new temp in shipping. Within a few weeks he outshone everyone in the department. The company asked if he was interested in staying on and he asked about promotions down the road. He was told that this was the only position and nothing else would be above it. We lost him...
