Thomas Kopczynski • perplexing they still on this

You • I think it’s feigning ignorance due to lack of incentive or rigor. She did say two weeks.

Thomas Kopczynski • two weeks for what
i gave her the info she needed weeks ago

You • She will give me a status update in two weeks

Thomas Kopczynski • on what? promo?

You • I checked her very early on to not misinform me
And she stopped and it became productive
On promo / what they can do about the situation

Thomas Kopczynski • but i gave her the info she needed which is what i dont get
she told me on 10/17 she would 'have an answer by end of next week' which is today

You • She said she was trying to challenge fcg guideline. I told her that sounds good, I’m looking for specifics. She said there are no actions to take and she’s trying to understand from fcg program owners if a promotion can take place while in program or an entirely new position needs to be found for me. She said she doesn’t have details but they are fully advocating, she’s just trying to figure out the options. She said the fcg program, I’m unable to be promoted in the program. She said if there was a promotion, there needs to be a full time promotion secured and that needs to be a for I would enjoy. I let her yap about it to hear her reinforce it.

Thomas Kopczynski • the fcg guideline works in your favor
dude
i answered the question for her

You • She said let’s figure out how to get a promotion and salary increase. She said she tried with Kulveer and they got push back where they said they would take me out of the program and that they’re trying to figure out the reality

Thomas Kopczynski • its actually scary now

You • I forwarded my initial signing emails where they refused to negotiate

Thomas Kopczynski • u need to talk to someone else

You • She acted surprised that happened
Like shocked

Thomas Kopczynski • whats kulveer's name again?
last name?

You • Kulveer Kirk
I also started citing the contract 😂😂😂
Her whole demeanor changed
I told her how the contract has metrics that base your salary
Including FCG
I also shared how I could’ve started at level 6

Thomas Kopczynski • virk or kirk?
virk dude

You • Virk sorry
I also told her that when they said no negotiation, I didn’t take the offer and I had let it ezpire
I told her I was in Sweden around the time. I was in process with Google but lost
My position because there was a hiring freeze
And then ford asked AGAIN despite me dropping the offer for my self respect
And I was traveling and needed to line it up
I forwarded the email, she said she’s trying to figure out who’s best to help to fix and go about this
I told her how the budget works within my team
On a “learning one to one” I met with Ppl on the business side
To understand budgets
And I gauged during my time here early on before I stepped up
I confirmed that I did the job of three engineers for this goal
Those would be outside contractors
Which would have been paid way more than how much I was being paid
I saved the company money
She said it sounds like this decision wasn’t right from the beginning and then I proved it now beyond that and she wants to look at whatever action holistically.
But that’s what I’ve been told for months lmao

Thomas Kopczynski • ok, the past is the past
but they can do something now
and i dont get why we keep getting the same story
ive shown them the path
why they not walking it

You • She said she’s been in touch with my leader and she can give me a status check in two weeks and she wants to talk to recruiting and there could be other individuals that could have this same experience. In this case I advocated for myself and didn’t get that openness or willingness. She wants to make that feedback is heard
She’s like she hates making excuses but it has been a lot I asked her if we are on the same page she said yes and if there wasn’t she would have straight up said there’s nothing that could be done
If she said there’s nothing that could be done
She knows I’m gone
Carrot on the stick it feels

Thomas Kopczynski • yea i told her that over a month ago

You • I ended the call early and told her I have dates timeline quantification etc and I built a case if there is anything she needs. She said she has enough to justify helping
And then she’s like this is a different story and we’ll figure it out. Then I said okay have a good day and we ended the call
