I can't imagine anyone that has decent prospects would agree to go back to Tesla after getting canned with those kinds of wild swings in decision making.

I can't imagine anyone that has decent prospects would agree to go back to Tesla after getting canned with those kinds of wild swings in decision making.

I can $ertainly think of a $cenario where I might con$ent to let bygone$ be bygone$ and go back to work for that a$$hole

Indeed know a guy who got played 9ff by big blue. He was the only one who could do his job so he has screwed them as a contractor for 500 a day 100% working from home and a loooooong termination clauses

Edit sorry this is in the UK not us

500 a day is $62.50/hr, that's not very good for contracting, especially if they don't take taxes and healthcare out. Any sort of key contractor like that ought to be worth at least $250/hr

Seriously, that's really low rates. Healthcare and all that overhead is usually at least double of the actual salary.

I charge $90(CDN), pay myself around $40. Solo contractor with occasional support staff.

Need to up my rate, it's a bit low for what I do, even though I'm no genius or expert specialist.

He should re-brand as a "consultant" and charge double that.

I need a 1yr salary sign-on bonus before I clock in. I also need full pay for 120 months after any form of departure from the company.

You know, since I can't trust the stability of the relationship.

Also, this new salary is going to be 8x what I was being paid previously.

Oh naturally.

I was just ironing out what I wouldn't be doing any work for.

I'd get that shit notarized and then quit. Take a 10 year vacation to academia or something. Get published. 🤷‍♂️
