Jason Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I just went to the gym for the first time in nearly three years and I started with leg day. I'm going to be feeling this tomorrow. The walk home was already slower than the walk there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 Hmm. Might have the opportunity to take a manager position in my department in the next few months, and conflicted about it. Currently I work with our school division's databases and a few software systems. Not much programming, but a bit of scripting and integrations. The manager position would be for our service desk area (front-line tier 1 techs). I am conflicted because: Big jump in pay ($87k to $105k, with annual step raises after for seven years, + COL raises) Interesting responsibilities (our division is going 1:1 laptops with kids, new device management systems, etc) More responsibility (8 people report to the position) Right now I am (slowly) starting the process of getting people to think about unionization, which obviously would stop (from my own involvement, not in general) So, not entirely sure what to do. Have to look out for myself, but also would suck if I (the main driver of better working conditions) am not there to push. On the other hand, I can improve working conditions by actually just improving them as a manager, lol. For reference, our IT department is 20 people, 8 of which are in the service desk area, and we service about 1,400 staff and 12,000 students.

Nokra Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 @CitizenVectron from your post, it sounds like the biggest concern is whether the unionization would continue without you, but you're quite interested in the job itself, right? If that's the case, I think I'm with Chris that it's pretty straightforward. Someone else can and will take the reins on unionization if it's important to them, and meanwhile it sounds like this is a great career move. Do you think they're offering management to intentionally pull you off of unionization? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think they're offering management to intentionally pull you off of unionization? No I don't think that's the case as they aren't offering it to me, I would need to apply. Primary candidates would be me and a coworker, but I think I have a good shot. I definitely want it, as while my current job is great, this would open up other jobs in the future. Only downside is it would take me further away from scripting/programming, which has far more possibilities in the future. But I'm also 38 so I'd like to keep a nice stable job, lol.

Keyser_Soze Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 If anything you could advise the next man up so to speak on what you were doing in your role towards unionization while you take the new job. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Some pics from the “addition” (knocked a garage down and essentially built a new house to make a duplex) I’m finishing up building this week I really enjoy building stuff. Have three new house builds already on deck for this year. I’m sure I’ll do some remodel projects interspersed as well. #LearnToDrywall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TUFKAK Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Japan updates We bought tickets to a sumo tournament in Osaka two days after we get there as we arrived right in the middle of one. She booked a Ryokan in the mountains outside of Nagasaki as my heavily inked ass isn’t fully welcomed in certain bathhouses and since we will be in the south, made sense to make it private. But now I’m basically gonna be living in the hospital until we fly out to pay for this trip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
