we are on a hiring freeze so any open positions is extremely rare.


Hiring freezes are myths. If the CFO got hit by a bus he will be replaced. The same with the guy that cleans the bathrooms.

quote:

Second, they need cfo approval to replace me which can take months


This is bullshite. CFO's constantly gather information and make informed decisions hourly. This may be the hint that your department is ending in a few months, or when your project is through.

quote:

Third, they tried to screw me again saying they feel I need to improve my performance on the current team


bullshite also. This was to keep you from asking for more money since you are taking a career hit for the team. You suck so bad that a better department created a position for you. If they make a position for you it is because they want you on their team.

quote:

Fourth: my team goals are so fricking retarded that we can’t hit them


This has become standard. Always room for improvement blah blah blah. It is a tool to keep raises lower and get your nose to the grindstone.

Find another job. Play the game until the other job happens. This company has no loyalty to you and also proved today that they do not give a shite about you.

Do not quit until your new job is locked down. When you give two weeks notice you will be escorted out immediately. Once you have final separation, expect a "Hey Buddy" call from your old boss. He will want some information or technique from you that he needs to bail his dumb arse out. At this point you can be paid as a consultant. Get paid first and be expensive.

Good luck on the hunt.

Use a headhunter or employment agency in addition to looking yourself.

Based on your interpretation of the meeting, have you ever thought they were right about three and four. I evaluate people's performance all the time, I rarely find someone that is truly honest about it. Most people are not as valuable as they think they are...

Hahaha if you are reacting this way becuase of being passed over, they were probably right to pass you over. If you had an offer better than your current position and turned it down, that is your fault, not theirs.

The mature thing to do will be to calm down and do your job even better after their conversation. How you are reacting tells them they were correct in their assessment about your maturity level. BTW, they know you are applying for jobs on company time, IT sees all.

I say again.

But the guy above is correct, play the game, find a new gig, and bounce. If they call wanting something you just became a high priced consultant.

Sounds like you need to talk to your Union rep.

Your only course of action is to leave the company, make a lot of influential friends, rise in the ranks, then make sure your boss that didn't want you to get hired gets fired and can never find a job in Cali again. frick his wife, steal his dog, and once his kids are 18+, you have sex with them as well, if you are into that sort of thing. Anything less and you are a pussy.

It would be ironic if your company is monitoring your posts on the O-T



As long as OP is using https, he's fine unless his company is doing SSL intercept, which I doubt they are being a utility.

The security nazis can only see that he's on TD.com, not what he's posting.
