Some days, I wish we had a chat in this forum... but most of the days, I'm glad we don't have chat in this forum.

This might have just gotten weird...

Just 50 hours left of this stupid on call rotation and then I'm on 10 day vacation.

Kinda sick of it now. I also got called out by my boss yesterday in front of the team for something where he said I was incorrectly making assumptions about an on call issue I resolved, etc. and then 20 mins later he says in the meeting "oh wait I was thinking of something else earlier". No apology.

Very convincing right?

C&D thinks it will be $31k. If so, that's a bit steep for what it is IMO...

That's when you stop the meeting make that person apologize. I have. I even made Director apologized front of everyone. She didn't have to, but she even wrote apology email to me with CC to the Board members. Was it a horrible mistake? No, but def she's not going without apologizing. I told her, when someone who's higher than me in the position cannot admit their mistake and apologize, there's no point for me to follow the commend or listen.

...but of course, she could of just fired me. That would of been easier.

Current 86 base is $27k & GT is $29k, right? iirc BRZ tS was $31k~$32k, so $31k gonna be a bit tough pill to swallow for a lot of ppl.

There's a presentation? Oh. Well even knowing, not watching. Bored with Toyota. I want a nice affordable compact lightweight electric sports car. They're still pretending that's not a thing right?
