Life would be too easy without certain twists. I mean why would it be okay for me to transition to a new job without difficuilty? Is it really too much to ask for? Anyhow, the deal is that I have just entered a delicate situation. An ultimatum was put on the table for my friend who got me the job.
They told him, "You have to perform perfectly these next three months or we are going to ship your jobs off to India..." there is a lot of detail I am leaving out, but that is the gist of it.
He told me this and my jaw dropped. Not his fault, but they told him this the same day I put in my resignation... worst fucking timing ever. To top it off I am only getting the 65K and not the 70K that I did want. So I got a 20% raise as opposed to a 25% raise. No big deal, apparently if I bust my ass and show them I am worth it I can get my 70K after three months.
I knew this job would be volatile because it is a fing hedge fund, but crap... so now I am facing a strange scenario where this job could disappear soon and I will find myself laid off once again. I will tough through it though because my skill is superior. I hate to sound so arrogant, but it is the truth, I am damn good at what I do. I will pull this application together, those red dotted cheap ass bastards will not steal my jerb.
I have developed a slight hatred towards indian programmers. Whether they are here or over shores. I am going to describe the stereotype that I dislike, because just like any other stereotype this does not apply to all hindis: I hate their work ethic, their programming style is sloppy at best and overly complicated for no reason. They have shitty attitudes and they are mostly rude. They think that they know it all and that their shit don't stink. So when I am told my jerb might be shipped off to one of these offshore cheap ass shops, it makes me angry. Fuck them.
For once I can say, "They are trying to take my jerb!"
This shit sucks, but I will make the best of it while I can.
