So… I came out swinging.

Big boss took me to a NYC/UGA bar (American Whiskey on 30th) and I told him to go eff himself. We went to Mustang Sally’s on 7th before the fireworks.

Unloaded.

Looks like I can shitcan half the office. Relegate a ‘designer dickhead @$190/hr’ to doing some mundane shit that will make him quit. Later mutherfucjer.

Stagg Jr, Bookers (sucked), Russells 13 pours on a stomach that had a banana, protein bar and 4 hardboiled eggs.

I can now hire capable dudes to do some real
Resi work.

I also stated that it’s time for a commensurate raise.

I burned ATL better than Sherman. Can’t fire me, I’m the gingerbread man - ya dig?

Now to drive home🥹

You've mentioned your fallback is opening your own shop. If that is feasible, you should do it.

If it's feasible and you don't, you might always regret it.

If I can’t hire really good folks, I’m out. My rep in this town is everything. I gotta deliver the goods.

I’d love to go solo (poaching Wongi and Aniket) , but my wife being a non-tenured school teacher and my brother-in-law raw dogging the estate, I have ZERO cushion to start a business.

Are we going to let Richie’s comment “… blocked me and several of my burner accounts” just go by without comment?

Richie’s out here fighting the good fight by attrition. Ulysses S. Wildcat over here.

Wait a sec? You said you can fire the entire office, yet your plan is to do that by giving guys boring work to do until they just up and quit their $380K year job? 😅😅😅 Way to go scorched earth, Kooky!

If anyone here wants to know how to start and sell (twice) site civil/architecture firms before age 40, 👋🏻

I trust that offer is in writing, Kooky? And you have esigned and returned. Otherwise, in light of your attempted usurpation of company opportunities, those company lawyers are probably planning a field day for you right now.

Read the quote”-half-“the office not “entire”, junior staff.

Ya damn moron.

The guy logging 30-40 hours a week to OH is a senior dude and has seniority. These days, to avoid HR/litigation you’d prefer to have an employee leave under their own volition.

Plus, Wayne knowing that a persons billable rate at $190/hr has a multiplier of 3 only yields an annual salary of $140k/yr.

Stay in your lane.

Bring it. Lawyers are pussies.
