The CZickness X

[wtburnette]

I can't even begin to describe how upset I am right now with the company I'm supposed to be going to. Finally got the offer today. Low ball as all get out. $15k under what I asked for and what was supposedly discussed before I even interviewed...

Welcome to the real world my friend.
Sorry man. I know you were excited.

Yeah, I know. Not the first time, but MAN!

Recruiter went back to HR, who are trying to find out if they can get authorization for more pay. Guess we'll see what happens...

Things are picking up. It is no longer an employers mkt.
You may want to rethink this if they pulled this crap.
I would not work for them but that is just me.

I'm really sorry to hear that Tom, but I still have faith that it will work out for you in the end.

Alright my CZ family, as you know my mother passed away Friday morning. She had me put away an envelope and in it was some gold and I was to cash it in to purchase a firearm upon her passing. Well I cashed it in and now I have $1700.00 to spend on a gun. Well my friends, what should I purchase? I would love to hear some ideas from all of you so post it up....

1st.....what do you want. What is your Unicorn gun.

It has definitely make me think twice. I'm already stepping outside of my comfort zone, giving up covered parking, a shorter drive, more days working from home and familiar surroundings. If they come back anything under my expectations again, I'll probably stay where I am. The other thing to consider is that it's HR giving me grief, not the hiring manager.

Thanks Tim, I hope so. We'll see what they come back with tomorrow. The whole thing has left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth, but I understand the games HR tries to play.

My thoughts exactly. What do you want that you didn't feel like you should drop almost $2k on before this was gifted to you?

If they are gaming now hang on to your jewels man. Money is not the only thing to consider. More money and I know there is more stress.
Just saying. This is your deal.

Chris, to me any heirloom gun needs to be all steel. With that thought, maybe you should start searching out the new Shadow II which should hit the shelves this spring. Or, a nice DW full size Valor would be a great way to commemorate your mom. Lots of room for engraving on that big flat slide.

BTW, here's a photo of the new SP01 Compact I picked up yesterday:

Oooooo! I love spending other people's money! I think you said you have a Shadow 2 on order already. So that's out. That's about DW Valor territory, those are always sexy. Or the DW Bruin, I think that one is just north of $2k though. There is always the option of going all out on a custom CZ. I'm not sure on any rifles. Unless you wanted to buy another Shadow 2 and gift it to your favorite internet nephew.

 

[RustyHornet]

Great minds think alike, 88!

I had a thought today about selling my P07 and replacing it with a steel or alloy counterpart.

I get my P01 back this weekend.

Believe me, it's definitely being taken into consideration. Problem is, HR sucks for ALL companies nowadays. The benefits at IU Health are better and I'll be getting experience in some things that will benefit me in the long run. It's also a senior level position, where my current position is a step or two down the ladder. Definitely not looking at only the money angle

She's a beauty Tim!

Don't you mean SP-01?

 

[ChrisK]

A DW might fit the bill..It has to something special

The Valor in duty coat is a thing of beauty, or a stainless Specialist
