Means he will be making pretty good money, getting bonuses every quarter, and every 5 years he get's close to $8,000 in stock. Lucky him, he's been there almost 5 years.
Once he's in the management level, he has to wait like 6 months before he can apply for higher management, but once he does that, and if he get's it, he get's like a 15k a year raise, and then after that, it goes to another 15k raise, and then after that, he will be in the 100k a year range, and after bonuses, the 150k range. So that's my good news.
I am happy and proud of him. He deserves it. Means he can pay off his suv, get a bigger diesel truck that he want's, and a harley davidson.

That's great news Adam. It sounds like you have a lot to be proud of with your father. It's great to see young men looking up to their fathers like you do!

oh well, i write my last exam on saturday morning, then home for christmas! 
Accounting/finance/stats exams can really put a dampener on the christmas spirit  |
I remember exam week......I feel for you. Hopefully you'll get through it soon, and not be terribly stressed and exhausted. All the hard work pays off though so hang in there and give it your best!

That's great Zebra, here's to hoping work stays just as busy for you into the next year!
....and thanks for being a fan, there's lots of naysayers around, so I appreciate the encouraging people a lot!
Thanks a lot everyone, I appreciate hearing all the positive things you have shared. I am usually surrounded by people who are in dire situations and that have been beaten down so long; their negativity sometimes gets to be too much to take! Thanks!
