Date: August 28th, 2026 11:22 AM Author: trip mustard location $201,000.00k + 10% bonus + great benefits. Fully remote with no apparent risk of RTO ever because the team is distributed across three continents. My manager is in the UK.
I will be managing 3-4 codecucks (exact number TBD) and one junior manager.
I will resume poasting about how much I hate coding.

|
Date: August 28th, 2026 11:26 AM Author: trip mustard location I like to think of coders as people with special needs, and as a manager I'm their caretaker. I have the social skills that coders usually lack, which is why I got promoted to management. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5898327&forum_id=2/en-en/#50099219) |

Also ideally this doesn't disrupt your Slice of Life poasting. |
|
Date: August 28th, 2026 12:00 PM Author: trip mustard location Don't know how busy it'll be yet, but if you start seeing lots of threads like "holy fuck i hate coding" or "holy fuck i hate managing coders," it's probably too much "work" and drudgery.
I started my Slice of Life poasting while employed and will continue to poast those threads. |

Date: August 28th, 2026 12:04 PM Author: trip mustard location I had the Same Job for six years until I found a higher-paying job a few months ago. Unfortunately, that new job misled me about the state of the project I'd be working on, and I was laid off after two months because their client bailed. So now I'm starting a New Job with a very big and seemingly Very Stable company. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5898327&forum_id=2/en-en/#50099315) |

Date: August 28th, 2026 2:11 PM Author: irradiated navy psychic So it’s just some made up number that has no actual bearing on any bonus you do or don’t get.
They just “sometimes give out bonuses of some amount if we like you” |
