Leaving WD

Today I handed my resignation to my manager. I got a way better offer from Micron. My manager told me if there was anything he could do to have me staying but I don't think they can 2X my salary. Best wishes everyone, there is greener grass out... — read more 

Elliott - Big Projection - The Real Reason for Merger

Why everyone (the execs that took all the stock RSU's) really wants this tu-d to merge with Kioxia. Elliott projects $100 stock by end of 2023. I'll believe it when I see it. I just don't trust DG and his apple dumpling gang to do anything right... — read more

Get it over with

I hate the wait and not knowing what's coming. I don't care how bad it's going to get, I just want it to be over. My mental health can't take much more of 24/7 stressing and worrying over things I can't change. Even learning that I'm about to be cut... — read more
