yeah hyperbolic

obviously i was super lucky to be in that role, but it wasn’t handed to me and I worked my ass off in school and internships to be where I was. Obviously I worked, but I was just super efficient and being remote allowed me flexibility after I got my s*** done

we gon be okay

damn

are you still on the hunt?

I was pretty blindsided. I know it isn’t performance based or office politics, just random luck especially since I had just gotten exceeds expectations and gotten promoted like 2 weeks back

Nah it was my second job for easy income. Now I'm on the ringer with one job that pays eh, and I need more income for some goals I want in the next two years.

realizing severance pay is almost 50% less than gross amount because they tax more

Yikes they tax severance pay like bonuses? Thats such a scam

yeah it’s taxed as bonus income PLUS long story short, if it bumps you up a tax bracket, it charges you even more

plus federal, state, and FICA taxes

im so pissed 😭😭

Sheeeeeesh thats nasty work

Hope everything pulls together for you soon brodie

Lumon

job hunting blows

Aren’t you in Texas? Feel like that’s the least tax heavy state based on what I heard

Congrats!
I been coasting all year but they on to me now lol
I think they gon get me next

i took my old job for granted so bad now that im employed again
