At a previous job where I had basically become the manager of my manager and held my department together, I spent 3 months just trying to get a meeting with the guy who had the power to give me a raise.
In that time I found another job and put in my two weeks, my new job paid 90k but for shits and giggle I told them I was getting 130 and asked if they could do any better, they immediately came back with 110 which was almost worse since I was only initally asking for 80. I said no and went on to my new job which was 110% the right call.
Shortly after that they announced that they were selling the company, I heard from my old manager that the sale went through but in the mix that had to drop a good chunk of their clients from my old department (the most profitable one) since I was the only one there who knew how to handle a majority of the work and the only reason they could bring them on was me. I don’t know how it all worked out but the old owner got sued for fudging numbers and is now the current owner.
Last I heard they fumbled keeping my department alive and all of my coworkers got layed off along a lot of other people and the company’s not doing so hot.
I have a son who’s coming up on school age quick. I always wanted to home school him and this is one of the reasons.
The curriculum I can handle, my concern was always the exclusion and lack of social interaction. So when I found out there’s home schooling groups I was excited.
After looking into just about every group in my area can you guess what each one has in their curriculum and at the center of their core beliefs?
Religion. They’re all nutty religion “schools”. Turns out that’s what a big part of homeschooling is in a lot of places. I guess to them public school teaches too much of that pesky wicked algebra and not enough about the lords word.
