No PR but my course got approved by Army so I am free to study and work towards a university degree!!!! Still not allowed to be employed, but really fking happy. I have a reason to get up in the morning now lol and not just sit around drinking!
Big big victory for me was feeling so useless losing my job and turning 20 with no skills, no employment. This is fantastic.fluglotse

Comcast package I have retails for $147.90.
I was in a promo:
Six months $79.99 - this was nice
Six months $99.99 - this was not bad
Six months $119.99 - this starts today
Thereafter $147.90 retail
I just called and hit the prompt to cancel all services and six minutes later I'm back to $79.99 for six months and $99.99 for the following six months.
By my calculations I just saved $527.46 in the next year and it took me six minutes. Could Geico's 15 minutes come close to that?

It's not rude at all. In fact, it would be a disservice to them to not be honest.
I hated my job and found another paying me $12k more. I gave my notice to my boss (whom I hated) and she told her boss, the CFO. He and the other two execs sat down with me to talk for about two hours. We discussed why I was leaving, what I wanted in a job, and what it would take to get me to stay. I jokingly said, "A $27k salary increase, 10% guaranteed annual bonus, I want to report to you (CFO), and I want out of the accounting department and in on finance and capital budgeting." Almost two years later, I'm still with that company in the finance department reporting to the CFO. My replacement in the other position has been a revolving door since.
You have to do what's best for yourself. You act in your own self-interest. If a company can't respect that or feels that it's rude, you probably don't want to work for that company anyway.Few things are set in stone, except that you have to squat or you are a pussy. - Mark Rippetoe

Not rude. Congrats on the job offer! If they offered you the job then obviously there's something they know you will contribute to the team. Every time I've negotiated pay my employer will increase his original offer. They just never expect you to ask and when you do I think it throws them off a little but they know at that second they can be more generous. Doesn't hurt to bring it up
In for avi pic. Now it's SOJA's turnPatience, dedication, drive.
