Yea, I tend to agree... It would take an act of God for HP to come back with anything meaningful. I'm not so sure I would accept any counter they bring to the table anyways. But it sure is nice to see them try....

I know a couple of guys who went to that company and they seem plenty happy too. Of course any company is going to have their issues, but it's easy to overlook when you're making good money, have a good team to work with and management is good.

I think moving to Accu-Data will be the best career move you'll ever make. I can elaborate, but there is unlimited (nearly) career growth on that side of the fence and it is fun work.

Product support tech. When we sell something and the installer screws it up I try to fix it. Every once in a while we have an actual part failure but it's rare.

Who did you end up going to work for if you don't mind me asking?

Holy crap my boss was right. It looked AWESOME on my resume. A 25% pay hike before bonuses. Time and a half for overtime (paid as a quarterly bonus) and bonuses for high utilization.

I so loved telling him I quit.

I might need to join the DFWBallers

HP calls me a Technical Consultant IV. Which apparently doesn't pay a fucking nickle more than being a Technical Consultant III.

Oh well, my boss says it will look good on my resume. I've recently decided to find out if that is indeed the case.
