About a year ago I left a job/industry that I was in for 10 years, it was a very niche industry so there aren't a lot of places to job hunt. The result of which was me being stuck in a position I was miserable in and feeling frustrated that I didn't have room to grow. And despite being an "expert" at what I was doing I had nothing more to look forward to than a 2.5 COL increase every year.
After a year at my new job, I've struggled and I've learned. Yes it has challenges but it also has wonderful moments that make it all worth it. And yesterday my boss sat me down and basically slapped me with a 9% increase to put me on par with what other people in my role make elsewhere. I was taken aback because I've never been at a job that made me feel like my efforts were paying off and seen as valuable. I dunno it's hard to put into words, the money is nice but being made to feel appreciated is something new to me at work. Feels good.

Congratulations! I very much understand this feeling and it's rare to have it be acknowledged so forthrightly. Enjoy it and feel proud.

Yup. People just don't post enough here. Me and stringypoo and tao can't keep this place alive ourselves. C'mon mosh.

I have to say though, I’m really glad this forum isn’t as busy as the metal-archives forum. That was is so busy that I can’t keep up with it, and it’s demotivating for me to try. Here though, I generally know everyone here in some way or another, and it’s easy to follow what’s going down on here. I do not miss the chat box. I’m not interested in getting it back. But I do hope to see this place more lively, considering how many quality members we have. But I’m probably speaking what some of you are thinking and probably tired of hearing over and over. Saying it does nothing sometimes.

Any of you guys see the new Bill Burr stand-up special on Netflix? My man is fucking ruthless. Same with Chappelle.
