The re-introduction thread

<< < (82/87) > >>

Akima:
Patrick! Great to see you! How's the music going?

Grognard:
Hello folks.

I'm baaa-ack.

Case:
Hey Grognard & welcome back! I was starting to wonder ... what gives?

jwhouk:
GROG! Welcome back!

Grognard:
what gave?  mostly just alot of life.
When I returned from vacation, work life struck back with a vengence.
from August until January my team fielded about 140% of our contracted work load.
all while being at half strength in Technicians.  Turnover was terrible.
during that time I was either commuting or at work about 12-14 hours a day.

other than a odd hour of videogaming or vegging to YT, I've had nigh zero social life.

But in late January, I was able to convince our CEO to allow thru Annual Reviews and maximum rate pay raises.
So guys who were thinking  of leaving stayed.  And I also managed to recruit some lower tier, but technically savvy help.  The last day of January, we had 2100 tickets in queue w/8 Techs.  Today, we have 390 tickets and 13 Techs.

But it has been a nasty hard slog.
