If you are on leave, you are still an employee, right? Anyway, I pray that it works out fine with you. Please keep us updated. Cheers fathersez’s last post: A visit to Kundasang, the foothills of South East Asia’s highest mountain

Unfortunately, we can’t predict the future, otherwise, I would have been playing the stock market hard, and would be retired by now.

In the long run, you made the decision that was best for you at the time. If you end up getting compensation from it, great, if not, you will still be satisfied you made the right decision.

Any word on the situation at your job? You've got me on pins and needles. Marsha’s last post: Twenty Years Ago

I left a job that had stratified stock-option-granting and I was one-level below the point at which they were granted. About a month after my departure...they changed the levels & I would have been in that pool, potentially adding $20K to my total compensation per year. Grrr. I left for other reasons (relocating for more opportunities, more $$), but even so, I was burned by that! I chalk it up to opportunity cost of moving up/onward - I never would have gotten to my current level of management with that company in that location. MM’s last post: Conflicting Goals, Maybe?

You’ll have to update us on the situation at your employer.

I don’t think I would be able to sleep either. Just one year after I left my last position…and I left because there was no retirement plan…my employer started a very generous 401(k) and profit sharing plan. That was 5 years ago and I’m still peeved.

I just keep telling myself that leaving may have been what prompted him to start it and that if I hadn’t left, I still wouldn’t have one.

Grrr.

I agree that a penny saved is much more than just a penny.

Thanks for the great links, and the mention!
