Just checking...

Just checking... you DO know that you have to go take the Salary Survey, right? Right!?!!?!?

http://www.augi.com/surveys/current-survey/current-survey

(previous survey reports: http://www.augi.com/surveys/salary-surveys/previous-salary-surveys/ )

Closes July 22nd, at Noon eastern.

Even if you've been laid off, please chime in, there's a couple questions for you folks, and you can report the data from your last job, as it's still valuable and an indicator of your industry.

Done!  Of course I knew... of course! 

[Mistress0fTheDorkness]

LOL... thanks, Chris! Of course you did. 😉

Do you have a category for retired from CAD and working as grease monkey?

[CADiva]

LOL - I really liked the "how secure is your job question" ... first time I've ever answered "not secure".  Maybe I should join Murph as a "grease monkey"

[Mistress0fTheDorkness]

You're in a category all your own, Moiph. 😉

[Mistress0fTheDorkness]

Scary, eh?

I've always answered the highest security rating, but, this year, I dropped down one notch. Our company just got rid of a couple of PM's, and they wouldn't let us fill the half dozen positions we've got open in our department.
We've never had layoffs before. Thought we were sorta safe from it here.

My secret is to always make sure I know at least one thing that no one else knows... and make sure they know that I know one thing no one else knows!

One time I was laid off from a position after they had taken all of my best ideas. One bit of karma was that a spreadsheet I had developed had password-protected cells for some info that needed to be updated occasionally, making it become obsolete over time if yours truly wasn't there

Sure ... that's one of several reasons why I've kept this job so long.  But that's of little consolation since the firm I currently work is closing its only office.  We get to finish current projects ... from our homes, and try to find other work. 

(anyone else think the : smileysad : designation a little ironic?

Sigh... I've been in that spot myself, several times in the past.   Sorry to hear it.

I think the link AUGI sent out today must've gotten some attention ... AUGI.com is bogged down. 😄

[Mistress0fTheDorkness]

😄 That would be nice.

My own silly fault on that email being out so late. We used to have an ED who did that for me, but, we're sans ED at the moment and el Presidente had to tell me to write that up because I didn't even think about it.

Lemmee go check my totals. 🙂

[Mistress0fTheDorkness]

Oh, 300 more replies since I last checked. Not a huge jump yet.

Kick your coworkers in the shins if they haven't taken part yet... only one week left.

Tis that time again, folks! 

What's the job security situation like in your specialty? Who is giving raises? Who is closing offices? Any more warm to the whole Cloud thing or not? 

Chime in as soon as possible, please. 

(results will be posted to the previous salary survey link about a month after they show up in AUGIWorld here:
