The Golfmkv OFF-TOPIC chat (Part 10)

[merkeyterkey]

Just had a meeting with the higherups here at work. They want to bump me into a "quality engineer" position within the next year, but they want a commitment. It would be a pay rise (salary starting at $50k, not a ton of money but I didn't go to college, so its a good way to get my foot in the door), plus weekly money for a car (probably lease something) and help buying a house.

All of this while my fiance and I are talking about moving away in the next year or two...

I don't know what to do.

Isuzu lmao isnt that company out of the car business

Nope. Very important brand for GM in the 3rd world. You can find their diesels in the new cruze and other small GM cars.

Would they be willing to pay for school? I know some companies offer programs like that. I'd honestly rather have that than a corperate lease on a some crappy malibu.

Is the commitment legally binding?

Lol, it'd be a car of my choice and wouldn't have to be a lease.

I dont know if they're willing to pay for a degree. I mean, they're putting me through classes all the time but I'm not sure about a 4 year school

Is the commitment legally binding?

per a contract, yeah. Im not a twat though, I wouldn't promise them something and then just disappear

 

[hairyblackrabbit]

I'm sure they'd love to pay for you to get a degree so you can demand higher pay

 

[merkeyterkey]

I'm sure they'd love to pay for you to get a degree so you can demand higher pay

Or leave the company to get a better job...

 

[RSMark5]

O wow

Yeah, you could still buy the outgoing canyon/colorado with an izuzu badge. Saw one earlier this week.

heres the new front end.

You know duramax is made by izuzu right?

 

[RSMark5]

Or maybe they realize that loyalty is important and its cheaper to retain/promote from within than it is to outside hire. :iono:

Ascender is the name.

 

[merkeyterkey]

Why are you such an expert on Izuzu?

 

[BlaineWasHere]

Ah yes. Mark would know that.

 

[RSMark5]

The saab trailblazer looked better.

They only managed to make 600 aeros though.
