"how-bout it dude...they paying you scads of cash?"
Yes. But now I know they are/were just trying to throw a bunch of money at a person in hopes that they would stay amid all the bullshit going on here on a daily basis. Throwing money at me only masked the issues this place has for about a month.

the few female boss's ive had over the years, without a doubt have been the strictest...
but.....
on that note...i'd also say they ran the tightest ship as well...
no nonsense...but the places ran like clock-work...very efficient....

k0na_an0k, aquent sent me an email a few weeks back looking for people in chicago. willing to pay relocation and the pay seemed ok (didn't really have any details) but i think they had CD -> production designers availible. The CD was paying $110K + i think. Might want to check them out if your interested. it was for perm work too.

(Jun 12 06, 08:22)All of that work is pre-me getting here. Mine is going into the new site I'm about to start building for them. I was wondering why they were pushing me SO hard to finish the concepts... but not build it. I guess they just want my ideas then get in someone else to finish it. And, I just found out the CD was telling the owners how the new sites design was 100% her idea and I just implemented her 'storyboard'. Um... too bad she never gave me a storyboard, and, actually wanted the site to have a 1 minute intro, then a splash page, then a dumb ass gimick that made a person choose their level of 'pressure'... THEN the home page.
ugh.

too right..
all the money can't make a bad situation good..it can make it semi tolerable for a while...
but if the problems arent' fixed, it just aint worth it for any money..you spend most of your waking life on the job..
so it better be enjoyable...cuz if it aint, it can be absolutely miserablecheers buddy

(Jun 12 06, 08:31)I really appreciate that.
Well if anything it forced me into looking for a new gig. When I found out on Wednesday I was pretty much on my phone for 4 days straight (even on Saturday) making calls getting the word out. I have a good feeling.
I guess I just realized I'm way too young and way too pretty to be working at a job I hate.
Haha. Kidding about the pretty part.

(Jun 12 06, 08:43)No, actually. I've had about 3 primary managers and many others (senior management) on top of that. I've been a webdesigner for two.

and yes, I'm in school.

Dude, she just called me from home to talk about it. She said someone here told her that I was interviewing. haha. What a lie. I've only been here 3 months... shit, if I was interviewing I'm not even sure I'd tell my parents (they worry too much) let alone people I hardly know.

yea keep your eyes peeled and biz cards handy...polish up the portfolio (if you already haven't) and be ready to sell your self...don't take peoples bs.. it just degrades your desire to work in the manner that you love to..

Is it even legal to fire someone without discussing with them the work habits or quality issues they would need to improve first? Otherwise how would an employee even know they were doing something wrong? It would be poor management at the least not to communicate the issue with them.
This obviously excludes behavior that is illegal or outrageous.

not sure about illinois, but in my styate. they can fire you for any reason at any time, except for race, sex and that sort of thing.

is this the scenario?
hire hotshot young designer to come in and whip the new website into shape...fresh new design, great look, make it more appealing..
new hotshot designer does just that and more...does good job...
CD starts getting nervous..
what the fuck would they keep me around for when this guy can do my job with his eyes closed...and lets face it, my design style looks like a retread of everything that sucked about the 80's...young hotshot designer now has a wicked big target on his back, and the CD just happens to be carrying around a harpoon gun...
anyhow, thats what it sounds like..
you've made her nervous dude...
now you're like one of the startrek 'red shirts'...'he's dead jim!'
she wants to do away with the threat to her job...namely you..and she'll make some shit up about you if she has to...
