Would You Quit Over This? (work advice)

[Asher]

I don't care about GDP per capita, I care about GDP per onodera.

Gross Dick Principle per ondera == 1.

[Ben Kenobi]

So then you admit that climate change is real?!

Yes, I'm a firm believer in business cycles.

[onodera]

No, you care about GNI per onodera

And that's another dick-measuring competition you're going to lose...

It's on, KH. What's your share of the American GNI (let's use 2008 figures)?

[Asher]

I wonder how you measure that?

In 2008 I worked for Lehman Brothers facilitating billions of dollars worth of trades...

Never quit without a backup. At least they want you to take the other position and aren't trying to stop you. I would tell the hiring manager of the other position and let them fight it out. All the while, be nice and ask your current manager what you could do to fill the position. Is there someone they had in mind? Can you get a job posting out for them, etc? Also, explain you are leaving for more exposure, not to piss them off. Kill 'em with kindness.

I did let the hiring manager know that problems have arisen. He did try to work it through
his superiors, who supposedly contacted my superiors, so far to no avail. My guys are not
budging. The two sectors aren't on good terms. Tomorrow was supposed to be my last day
on this position. It can still be my last day only if I take the drastic measure of canceling
the contract I have, leave the bank, and become unemployed.

I'm taking the people I worked with to a farewell lunch at noon. After that I'm probably
going to quit.

By the way, this behavior by my superiors is very damaging for the bank. I am rather
expensive (for Croatia) and that is because my skills are rare. If you hired a genius it
would still take two years to train him to my level of familiarity with the bank's systems
and business procedures. I'm an asset for the bank and it's in the interest of the bank to
keep me in whatever position they can. This infighting between organizational units is
really not bright.

I don't care about GDP per capita, I care about GDP per onodera.

Good luck, I hope you don't pay the price if you misjudging the situation.

[Cort Haus]

Good luck with your decision, Vet, and enjoy the moment of sticking it to them.
