I left my previous position 3 weeks ago - Senior Application Technology Developer; this week I happened to look at the name tag that had been on my cubicle. On the reverse side, it says, "Senior Vice President".
If I had known that, I may have asked for compensation to match...

|
|
Hmmm... that depends...
What could have been their intention to secretly make you a Senior Vice President on the reverse side?

Wait - are you saying your backside was a senior Vice President?
That’s about right.
I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended.
I am absolutely certain I don't want to live in a world in which you would never be offended.

Yeah, the company re-uses the name tags, and, when I finally looked at the flip-side of mine it says: Senior Vice President.
I told my old manager that and he laughed, he wasn't may manager when I started, so he had no reason to look at it before I got there.

Well on the reverse side of the Senior vice president is his arse, so I think they were trying to tell you something!

Went to the Dutch Chamber of Commerce yesterday to finish my CoC registration and so Juun Software was born! 
I'll be switching to a 32 hour work week for my current employer and spend at least 8 hours a week for my own business.
I'm already working on a project (some custom software for a startup), but it's hard next to a 40 hour work week.
I've got everything covered financially, so I can just sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride
So remember that name, Juun Software.
You'll be seeing it next to Microsoft, Apple, and Google in a couple of years

Good luck - pro tip: make customer relations your #1 priority. Then make it your #2 one as well. Customers will be more forgiving of late delivery, bugs, whatever than they will be of being left in the dark and not communicated honestly with.
|
|
|
|
|
but be careful making your relations customers (relatives/friends) - too often ends badly.

I've worked for my uncle for a couple of years (and he worked for my parents for about 12 years).
It had good times and some less good times.
He may be my second customer though

Thanks
I'm all for customer relations!
Build some credit early on and mutually benefit for the rest of your career

No, the first order should be to get customers!

Very cool. My ratio is 24 / 16, but I told them (my employer) that if they actually have enough work and interesting work worthy of my time -- their words, not mine -- that I would consider 32 / 8.

I hope to go to 24/16 in a year or so.
The next step would be full time I guess.
The benefit of 32/8 is that I don't need any income from my own business at all to pay my bills and so I've got practically 0% (financial) risk.

That's great! Happily my doing 24/16 still puts money in the bank, and extra client work I do on the two days off (and weekends occasionally!) adds extra $$$ to the coffers. ![Jig | [Dance]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/jig.gif)

Thanks!
So far I've paid €50,- for the CoC registration, you're welcome to a share!

Does it mean that if I pay you 25€ now... I will get 50% of the stock?
Give me you bank data and I make you the transfer right now

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I don't even have shares, so I guess it just means you owe me €25,-
