I am closing in on 20 myself as I joined in 2006 (or was it 2005?).

 

I was 19 years old when I joined and it's been 17 years since I joined... oof

I think it's more wild that it's been 16 years since the first gathering.

IIRC, I started lurking and then posting a little bit on the DBZ Center boards when I was in grade 10, so sometime in 2000. Wow that feels like a long time ago now :rip: 

 

I have to say, it's great seeing some more activity around this place the last couple days! Now what do we gotta do to get Ma to come back???

Yea good luck with that one. Because i'm pretty sure a summoning circle with a chicken sacrifice couldn't make him come back.

Also Web.....STOP REMINDING US HOW OLD WE ARE. :old:

I've asked for and have been (probably) granted a demotion. It may or may not free up more time for me, but at least I won't be on-call salary with no time to do anything :lurk:

No free time for you! Work till you die like most of the western world.

Was an overnight assistant manager for walmart for a few months. But somewhere between a new inventory system that doesn't work, an inability to hire reliable people (we may luck into something eventually but I don't think this can ultimately be fixed, calling in is too ingrained into the local people), losing days off when the support managers don't show up and not making overtime for the 10-11 hours per day, I decided that I should probably drop back down to an hourly support manager instead :lurk:

Honestly yeah it sounds like you were getting fucked.  You'll probably end up making MORE as hourly. :facepalm:

For the starting salary with the way things are right now, yes, though not counting the annual bonus. Went into it knowing that.

 

After a few years with the way the raises are handled, no, but tbh I was already at a point where there wasn't a dollar amount you could put next to the position and have it be worth it. Maybe in the future, but definitely not at the moment.

I have yet to be demoted because our system doesn't seem like it's designed properly for it. So far I've:

 

1) Been notified that myself, who reports to myself, is applying for a new role on my team and that I should do everything I can to support myself in making the transition easier for myself.

 

2) I've had an interview scheduled with myself to see if I'm up for the job.

 

3) Currently I'm negotiating with myself.

 

The system sees me in the role I am in now and me in the role I want to demote to on my team as two separate people.

 

This is a third party system provided for us by the way.

Well if they want you doing so much of it, demote yourself and give yourself a raise

One of my support managers didn't know what a waifu was so I got him to google it on his phone, and now the algorithms know and theoretically the store wifi knows too
