Any chance you could move? IIRC your wife works for Whole Foods, is she tied to a particular store/location?

I dunno, more money and working around awesome cars all day sounds pretty cool to me, but it's a bit after the last experience.

Possible. Just refi’d the house, of course. There’s a Whole Foods 1/4 mile from the Porsche store.

They understand how I am about all of this and are genuine. I left on good terms and they said I’d always be welcome back. Owner had told me there’s one person on the shortlist, and they’re not taking no for an answer. I know the place, the product and the culture. Other guy has fucked up, big. Owner has told me he’s not welcome back, apologized for what happened the first time and wants to make it right.

That said, there’s only about 400 people in the country that can do this for a living and I’d be going back to the #3 store in the country just as they open the first standalone gen5 building on the east coast, and second in the US.

It is absolutely a dream job in my industry.

I’m 3 weeks into a total technology overhaul on how We do business at Toyota, which is a 2 month project that I’m in sole control of. Leaving Toyota now blows up the bridge after doing it once already, but I go back to Porsche to retire.

I’m meeting with the owner, GM and service manager next week.

A few months back my government counterparts told me they’d have some jobs opening up and they’d want me on their team. Yesterday after a meeting we had one of them asked me to hang back and said the jobs are starting to open, so get them my resume. They have direct hire authority, so I don’t need to formally apply or interview. Got a call from his boss this morning asking if I was still interested. Told him yes and sent my resume over. He cc’d me when he sent it to the hiring manager and told him I’d be a great fit for their team. Hiring manager is going to call me tomorrow for an informal chat/“interview”. Will be nice to finally go full blown .gov. Get that pension, nice 401k match, and way more PTO than I get now. Estimated timeline for me starting over there is 2-3 months. Will update along the way as things happen.

I’ll probably get brought over one level lower than I was expecting, and two levels lower than I was hoping, so I’ll take a sizable pay cut up front, but I’ll be in a slot that’s targeted for a promotion every year until I get to the level I wanted as long as I don’t fuck up while I’m there. Two years to work back up isn’t bad.

I mean, I know I am but can you put it in context? We got a pretty great bonus payout at my company this year. Our scorecard was 5,7,10%. We got 10%

How does 200% EOY compare?

I am technically eligible for 10% of my salary as bonus (on paper) but based on performance they gave me about 20% of my salary. Add in about 35%ish for the company being sold too and im getting over half my yearly salary in a single check...starting to sink in.

I get to pay off all my school loans, while increasing my monthly income which should net to a minimum extra 1500 a month of net liquidity (not counting if I pay off the car or whatever, should have plenty left over) which will be nice. My wifes school loans are next, which could now be paid off in about 2 years...mindblown. Between the two of us, we had about 300k in school loans.

Wow, that's a dope payout! Congrats man. What does the company do, if I may ask?
