Got the unofficial phone call
 
So while I've been happy in my job for 20 years and love my 2 closest coworkers to death, and most of my other department members too, I applied for a new job in a different department. Several reasons, money being a big one, and 2 members in our dept. who have totally destroyed the happy fun environment we had.

So I got an unofficial phone call today about making transition plans, since about 25% of my time is spent doing only stuff that I can do in the dept all centered around programming.

Still has to go to HR and we still have to negotiate salary but a transition plan is beginning.

Congratulations!
I'm retiring next year, kind of bittersweet... half the department I'm going to miss... the other half? Not so much. ;)

Are the new people attention vampires? Those bastards will ruin anything.

Worse.

But to be honest, I really need the money and this will be much better both short term and long term. Big disadvantage is I'm limited to a few employers without moving to parts of the state I'd rather not live in ...

So, you're NOT an actual Idiot?

Congrats! I started with a new group myself in April this year.

Depends on the subject :)

But according to my wife, I'm trainable.

Great.

Put the champagne on ice, but don't open it yet!

Lol... Almost spit out some good single malt on that one!

Congrats on the new position! Sometimes a change is better than a rest.
