Holy Macaroni! in General

I texted Steve, the guy who will be my bosses boss. “At this rate Hailey will be out of her cast by the time I hear anything!” Smiley face emoji.

“It’s with the president now.”

The company president was an Army guy. I should have left the Army part of my past in the resume.

And holy freaking mackerel, what the hell are they going to offer? Six figures?

GD has 100k employees. GDBIW has 6k on a bad day, and 8k when new construction contracts come in. Usually hiring decisions are done at the department level. Why in the hell my offer is going all the way to the top.

I remember when they were looking for an IT hire in CM/DM (Configuration Management / Data Management.)

Joe was interviewing one woman after another. I worked in an office of 40 people. I was one of four men in the office. The balance were women. I also made more than everyone in the office, other than Joe.

After each interview I would ask him how it went. He tended to be noncommittal. I was heading to his office when an interviewee was leaving.

“How’d it go?”

“She’s interesting.”

“She’s hot. Hire her.”

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I’m a pig, I know.

At six figures they own my me.
