#API Q1 Audit Programs

[whosname]

Stealing/boosting id from consistantly-changing

[Image descriptions in order: two screenshots of a Reddit post by u/iambeaker titled "'Twas the night before my resignation…" The post reads "I was brainwashed at an early age that loyalty and hard work would add countless "0's" to your paycheck. I remained optimistic after receiving year after year of 3% raises and working holidays. I missed my children's first steps, their school functions, and other life events so I could make the CEO more money.

After the passing of my stepfather and my boss calling me during the funeral, asking me to troubleshoot an issue while my mom cried into my shoulder, enough was enough. I changed companies and made a personal pledge to put family first and my career a distant third or fourth.

Fast forward to present day…. I find myself as the cornerstone of our department. Many of our clients' processes are automated through custom API developed by me. I have maintained a thorough documentation library on how to support the API, the reports, and all of its dependencies. I have offered to train backup so we are not single threaded. My manager told me "No way, we would never do anything to lose you!" Up to now, life was good.

At the beginning of December, ABC Company was audited by the government and found to be out of compliance. They hired my company to regain their compliance by the end of the year or risk fines near $750,000. ABC Company dragged their feet getting us the information we needed to start on the work.

I save my vacation days so I can take the week between Christmas and New Years off. I spend it with my kids to make up for all the time I lost when I worked when they were younger. This time is very precious to me.]

["Last week and this week, I have been notifying the project manager and my manager about my time off. I let them know I would need ABC Company's information soon so I can start on it. I offered to work extra hours to ensure my piece would be finished prior to Christmas Eve.

On Tuesday, my manager calls me and tells me ABC Company finally sent the data over I requested over two weeks ago. He looked beaten because he knew what was about to happen. I told him who should I walk through the project with because I'm off after Christmas. My manager says, "I'm sorry. But I have to ask you to work. I declined your time next week."

I asked, "What happens to my vacation time?" My boss says, "I'm sorry. You know the rules. Use it or lose it. I fought for you but HR wouldn't budge."

I drafted my resignation letter after the call, set it to delay delivery on Monday at 8am, and closed up shop.

ABC Company will pay $700,00 because nobody knows how to program that system since there is no back up. Our other clients will be expecting their monthly, quarterly, and annual reports within the first week of January. No one knows how to do this. We had six projects in progress involving extensive API and reporting, now those projects are dead in the water. Seven clients prepaid for API and automation upgrades in 2022 Q1. I don't know what will happen to those.

Please remember. Family first. You never get that time back."]

[Several screenshots of a text conversation between OP and their boss. It goes:

Boss: Hope you have a great Christmas

Boss: [OP] please call me as soon as you can.

Boss: I received your email. I understand that you are upset but resigning is not the best choice in this circumstance.

Boss: [OP], I have been your friend for five years. I'm asking you as a friend, not a manager to reconsider and call me. Let's talk about this

Boss: Hey, you made your point. You can have today off if you call me and let me know when we can expect you tomorrow. But you need to call me.

Boss: This is ridiculous. Do you know what your actions are going to do to the company? To me? You made your point. Just call me and we will figure out your vacation. But we need]

[Boss: This is ridiculous. Do you know what your actions are going to do to the company? To me? You made your point. Just call me and we will figure out your vacation. But we need [task] done by Friday.

Boss: Why won't you answer your phone? Your wife won't answer hers either. HR needs to talk to you.

Boss: I got out of a meeting with [name]. If we don't get this done for [client] we get penalized and that $ comes from bonus and pay increases. I want you to know that. If you don't finish that, nobody gets a bonus or a pay increase this year. This will be common knowledge

Boss: [OP], I've been talking to [name] We assume you resigned because you were going to lose your vacation. Here's the deal… if you call me by 3, we will rollover your vacation to 2022, but we still need you to work T-F. We need [task] done before 12/31. Call me before 3]

[Boss: [name] sent over a Corrupt CSV file and [name] followed your documentation to manually process it. [Name] tried python and the states can't see their dailies. You gotta help us here Call me!!!

Boss: Dude, log back in and help fix this stuff. Name your price. The states can't see their reports. [Company's] going to fine us [name] wants to know if the reports will be complete by 1/6. Family is important, but we are talking about peoples jobs on the line.

OP: Hey, I will be happy to return to [company] for $80/hour, $5000 immediate sign on bonus, and 6 weeks PTO. With a 12 month guarantee. Send that to me in writing and I'll start immediately.

Boss: Cmon. This is ridiculous. I don't even get paid that much. Why do you think you deserve this much? Quit being so full of yourself, be a team player, login and save this company.

Boss: Pick up your phone. I need to know what reports are due next week. We don't want to be fined.]

[Boss: Not even a counteroffer? Every hour the dailies are down, that's $1000 per STATE. [Name] does not know how to fix it. I don't know how much clearer I need to be. Log back in, fix his mistake, get [task] done, be a team player. We are family too you know.

OP: Please stop calling my dad. He has nothing to do with this. You can call me all you want but don't call my emergency contacts. I resigned, I didn't die.

Boss: We had to make sure you were ok.

Boss: Congrats [OP]. You cost the firm $19k. You taught us a lesson. Now pick up the phone and we talk about a reasonable offer. But you need to fix this states daily thing right now. That is your priority

Boss: Pick up the phone HR wants to conduct their exit interview]

[Boss: [OP], here are your priorities

Fix state dailies

Complete [task]

Provide [name] list of 1/6 reports

Train [name] being your back up

Boss: How much time will it take to fix the dailies? I need to tell [name]

OP: What does this mean? To be 100% clear, I resigned today. I don't have priorities or projects. I am no longer an employee. If you would like me to return, I gave you my offer

Boss: There was a time when a two week notice would before you resigned. Maybe you should be a better businessman and give us two weeks? [OP], we all make sacrifices. You have to sacrifice one week of vacation so we can fix some stuff around this department. Next year, maybe you won't ask off for this week until closer to December and you know what the workload is. You gambled and you lose. Just laugh it off and log on, let's get these states fixed. Let's fix [company]. Let's get this department fixed

Boss: Pick up your phone. It is [name] and me We need to know what it's going to take to fix the state dailies. $19k/hour is going to murder us

Boss: [OP] answer your phone

Boss: ANSWER YOUR PHONE!!!

OP: For $10,000, I'll fix your state daily file and train the team on how to run it so this doesn't happen again. Nobody is familiar with Python or understands Alteryx or SSIS. I can train them all using my existing documentation. The answers are all there.

OP: I can fix the state daily file tonight to avoid further fines and train the team the rest of the week. But I will NOT do any work on [project] or provide any information about recurring reports.

Boss: Is that some kind of joke? Your documentation does not have the answer. We've been through it [censored] laughing at $10k. You already cost us $32k today, you want to squeeze another $10k. You got greedy over Christmas]

[Boss: $10k

Fix daily files

Train the team

Do the [project]

Run the recurring reports for January

Deal?

Then we are done.

OP: That is a generous offer. But I'm firm on my offers. But I'm telling you, you don't need me. The answer is in the documentation.

Boss: Then where is it? If you were a true person of your word, you would tell us and save this company. Save your coworkers. Save their paychecks and their bonuses.]

[A gif of Homer Simpson driving. He turns behind him to shout angrily, then the camera changes to a wide shot where he drives over a short wooden bridge, throwing a lighter onto it and lighting it on fire.]

[An update from the OP, which says, "Present Day:

Throughout the day, the manager and CEO send a barrage of texts and phone calls.

One of my coworkers finds the documentation and fixes the reports. Later in the afternoon, he is served corrective action because he was accountable for processing the corrupted file and did not find the documentation faster. He tells me the manager, HR, and the CEO spent all night finding evidence to support the corrective action. I tell him to get his resume up to date. Total down time: 16 hours

Around 3pm, I get a phone call from a new number. It was the client's business manager (the liaison between the former company and the client). I explained to her the delay of getting data until Christmas (despite multiple requests), the loss of a full week of PTO, the text messages/phone calls, and my offer to come back to help her company reach compliance.]

["The business manager told me a different story. The manager and CEO called her earlier to inform her I quit and I am "stalling the project as ransom" in order to obtain more money. I explained how one could skew this view, but I am not actively seeking to return. After observing how the company treats their employees and after being treated post resignation, I have no interest in returning to the company.]

["The business manager asks me what terms (rate, signing bonus, etc.) what I was seeking to return to my former company. She tells me she will call back in an hour and not respond to any more texts from the manager or CEO.

CEO Text: Did the business manager call you? Did she give you a piece of her mind?

Manager Text: I bet the business manager is going to make you personally pay for that fine!

The business manager calls me back on a conference call and asks, "What do you need to finish this project? Software, data, tools, etc.?" I give her a list of everything I need. I answer other questions related to the project.

She says, "Here's the plan. We are going to offer you a contract to finish this API for us by the end of the year for double the hourly rate you asked. If you can finish by 12/31, we will give you the signing bonus. After the New Year, we will see where we are staffing wise and maybe, we can find you a spot, but there is no guarantee, especially if you do not the project. Is that a deal?"]

["I agree to the terms. I inform to put terms in writing and I can start as soon as IT gives me a virtual machine. The business manager says, "No problem, legal checked the contract and there is a clause stating if your former company is unable to perform a function which they agreed to do, we are able to outsource it to a third party and charge the company for it. I just need them to state they are unable to perform the API function, and we will bill them for your time."

TLDR; The client is giving me a contract and billing my former company double my asking rate because the former company is unable to successfully execute a function by the deadline they agreed to in a contract."]

Revenue Coin - the first revenue token in the world!

Revenue Coin the first revenue token in the world!

Revenue Coin (RVC) holders fund high-tech companies to scale. Startups receiving funding allocate up to 10% of revenues to the systematic purchase of RVC from the market, reducing supply and increasing value.

About Revenue Coin

Revenue Coin is an ERC-20 token, an integral part of the Revenue Capital ecosystem which supports young, promising companies by distributing funds and ensuring access to a shared customer base. The Revenue Coin tokenomics stimulates the growing demand for $RVC tokens over time.

Growth factors

Wondering how the value o $RVC keeps rising?

$RVC is a deflationary token with fixed total quantity in a smart contract. This means RVC supply decreases over time due to buyback and burning of tokens with the revenues of companies in the Revenue ecosystem

Currently, Exeria and SkyRocket, i.e. companies from Revenue Capital, generate their revenues by providing solutions for investors to trade via API. These revenues depend on the volume of trading on the exchanges.

Why is RevCoin Unique?

Revenue Capital (business accelerator) accumulates the funds of a blockchain community to seize a market opportunity at the right time and to extensively stimulate the funding of value creators and projects that, according to experts and communities, deserve global, marketing, and financial success. This action is possible at the stage of the commercialization of ready-made products or undertakings, and it aims to increase the number of clients and increase sales revenue. Creators and their projects, once recapitalized, allocate part of their revenues to increase the value of the token by buying and burning it, which translates into the profit of the investor’s community. Revenue Capital ensures technological cooperation, settlement, acquisition of tokens, liquidity, and presence on the exchange as a system operator.

How does a token work?

Revenue Coin (RevCoin) is a revenue token. In buying RevCoins, you acquire the right to part of the company’s revenue. The settlement between the enterprise – the issuer of tokens – takes place by buying and burning tokens. This directly drives the increase in the value of other RevCoins. This is similar to the mentioned above share buyback mechanism, where the decreasing number of shares increases the price.

The community buys Revenue Coins : Blockchain technology allows reducing costs and formalities related to the purchase of tokens. Transaction security is ensured by the RVC smart contract, which has been audited by external companies.

The capital goes to young companies : Projects earmarked for funding are selected by the community and Revenue Capital experts. Companies agree to transfer part of future revenue for the purchase and burning of Revenue Coins.

Companies grow and their revenues increase : By providing funding and know-how, companies’ revenues increases and part of them goes back to the Revenue Capital ecosystem. Currently, there are two profitable companies in the ecosystem: Exeria and SkyRocket.

Tokens purchases from the market : Revenues received from companies as part of the ecosystem are used for the systematic buyback and burning of tokens. This reduces their supply on the market while increasing their value, generating profits for Revenue Coin holders.

Benefits for RVC holders

Exchangeability

Revenue Coin will be listed on major cryptocurrency exchanges, guaranteeing its exchangeability with other currencies on these exchanges.

“Hidden” products

Only Revenue Coin holders will be able to access special offers of new products, unique configurations or the price offers of existing products.

Voting Rights

Revenue Coin holders have a say in making decisions as to which subsequent, prospective projects will receive funding from Revenue Capital.

Wrapped Token

Revenue Coin will be linked to ETH, which will allow to create an ETH-indexed token. This will increase their liquidity and capital efficiency.

Payment function

Revenue Coin will exist as an internal means of payment within the Revenue Capital ecosyste

The ARAW Has E-Commerce Domain Expertise

Globally only around 5% of people associated with the blockchain and cryptocurrency. We always use the example that everyone knows how to use Currency Notes (Paper Money), but very few understand the complexity behind it like security, compliance, Govt. strategy, etc. ARAW is aiming to achieve similar result with blockchain technology where regular people around the world get accustomed using ARAW platform without needing to change their shopping behavior or understand the complexity of the blockchain technology. We have chosen the E-Commerce channel to fulfill our vision for below reasons.

E-Commerce is a vastly used channel by the regular people all over the world which is the primary driver in fulfilling ARAW’s vision to make Blockchain Technology available to ordinary people around the world, so they can benefit from cryptocurrency out-of-the-box.

The ARAW team has E-Commerce domain expertise and partnership with some of the industry leaders.

The ARAW Ecosystem — Core Components

Araw pay will be an open widget to accept payments in ARAW tokens with a click of a button from any website or business. We aim to provide seamless integration of Araw pay solutions in Araw mobile & web wallet, open API platform, and Araw e-commerce marketplace.

ARAW platform and the team do >all the hard work.

Plug & Play enterprise blockchain based E-Commerce Platform that can be up and running with a click of the button.

Token

ARAW is an ERC20 token that fuels the ARAW ecosystem across the e-commerce and payments industry. The token will be issued in an upcoming ICO, and the number of tokens that will ever be created is capped at 5 billion. The token can also be used as a rewards mechanism by retailers for their customers. ARAW boasts a token-fueled rewards platform for which there is an open API. The rewards program is unique in that rewards aren’t points and don’t expire, making them more attractive to customers and ultimately bolstering the value of the coin. The company already has customers using its rewards system off-chain, and the plan is to migrate them to the token-fueled decentralized platform. ARAW also plans a bounty program airdrop for which 150 million tokens are earmarked. Token distribution is as follows: ARAW ICO Details Token Type: ERC20 Platform: Ethereum Symbol: ARAW Pre-ICO: July 1 Public Crowdsale: TBD Token Supply: 5,000,000,000 Tokens Available for Sale: 3,500,000,000 Soft Cap: $2,000,000 Hard Cap: $25,000,000 Price: 1 ARAW = $0.01 Minimum Purchase: 0.1 ETH Payment Methods: ETH

Growth Opportunity

Investors who are interested in the ARAW token sale must go through the know-your-customer process. This involves white-list registration and providing any required information to prove your identity. The fact that ARAW is pursuing regulatory compliance in the jurisdictions in which it plans to operate is a positive in an environment that is moving closer toward global regulation. ARAW is in discussions with exchanges to list its ARAW token. While the startup declines to identify these trading platforms until it’s a done deal, the fact that the discussions are under way is a positive sign for traders who are interested in the project, as it will provide liquidity. Plus there is a bounty program and airdrop on the roadmap. ARAW has the benefit of experience with two years of operations under its belt. The ICO is designed to fund an expansion, one that involves a move to a decentralized platform on the Ethereum network as well as a 2020 push into the U.S. and Asia. Despite the competition, ARAW is a participant in a robust payment and e-commerce space, the latter of which is projected to reach $4.5 trillion in sales in the next three years, according to the ARAW white paper. ARAW also cites another statistic, which is that “10% of the world’s GDP will be created on the blockchain by 20205.” All of these market statistics help to make the case for another e-commerce and payment platform.

Team

ARAW boasts a deep bench of seasoned banking professionals who are alumni of firms like Barclays, JPMorgan, Capital One and more.

Krutesh Shah is at the helm as co-founder and CEO. He’s a banking industry alum at major investment banks including BNP Paribas and Barclays. This experience should serve him well with the company’s migration to the blockchain. He brings the financial tools while ARAW CTO Carlo Pascoli brings the technical experience, having been part of engineering teams at “Shazam, IG and Thomson Reuters.” Pascoli boasts experience with developing mobile apps and distributed systems and is a believer in decentralization. ARAW’s management team extends to an experienced advisory team comprised of more than half-a-dozen e-commerce and blockchain professionals whose guidance is likely to result in a successful move to the Ethereum network.

Quarterly Updates | Q2 2018

To keep everyone aware of big projects and efforts across WordPress contributor teams, I’ve reached out to each team’s listed representatives. I asked each of them to share their Top Priority (and when they hope for it to be completed), as well as their biggest Wins and Worries. Have questions? I’ve included a link to each team’s site in the headings.

Accessibility

Contacted: @rianrietveld, @joedolson, @afercia

Priority: Working to make sure that Gutenberg is reasonably accessible prior to merge. ETA is before 5.0

Struggle: Lack of developers and accessibility experts to help test and code the milestone issues. The team is doing outreach to help solve this problem.

Big Win: Interest from companies like The Paciello Group and Tenon.io to help out with Gutenberg code review and testing tools.

CLI

Contacted: @danielbachhuber, @schlessera

Priority: Very first global Hack Day is coming up July 20. Version 2.0.0 is still in progress (new ETA is end of July).

Struggle: The team continues to need new contributors. The current team is tiny but tough.

Big Win: WP-CLI is currently one of the project’s four main focuses, as mentioned in the Summer Update at WordCamp Europe.

Community

Contacted: @francina, @hlashbrooke

Priority: Focusing on smoothing out the processes in our community management by building up our team of volunteers and establishing what tools we need to keep things running well. ETA is ongoing.

Struggle: Our two biggest struggles at the moment are tracking what we need to get done, and making final decisions on things. There is current work on the tools available to assist with tracking progress.

Big Win: After making a concerted effort to get more contributors on the Community Team, we now have a much larger group of volunteers working as deputies and WordCamp mentors

Core

Contacted: @jeffpaul

Priority: Following the WordCamp Europe summer update (and the companion post here), the team is getting Gutenberg (the new WordPress editing experience) into a strong state for the 5.0 release. Potential ETA as soon as August.

Struggle: Coordinating momentum and direction as we start seeing more contributors offering their time. Still working our way through open issues. The team is starting multiple bug scrubs each week to work through these more quickly and transparently.

Big Win: Had a sizable release in 4.9.6 which featured major updates around privacy tools and functionality in Core.

Design

Contacted: @melchoyce, @karmatosed, @boemedia, @joshuawold, @mizejewski

Priority: Better on-boarding of new contributors, especially creating better documentation. ETA is end of July.

Struggle: It’s hard to identify reasonably small tasks for first-time contributors.

Big Win: The team is much more organized now which has helped clear out the design backlog, bring in new contributors, and also keep current contributors coming back. Bonus: Joshua Wold will co-lead the upcoming release.

Documentation

Contacted: @kenshino

Priority: Opening up the work on HelpHub to new contributors and easing the onboarding process. No ETA.

Struggle: Some blockers with making sure the code and database can be ready to launch on https://wordpress.org/support/

Big Win: The first phase of HelpHub creation is complete, which means content updates (current info, more readable, easier discovery), internal search, design improvements, and REST API endpoints.

Hosting

Contacted: @mikeschroder, @jadonn

Priority: Preparing hosts for supporting Gutenberg, especially support questions they’re likely to see when the “Try Gutenberg” callout is released. ETA July 31st, then before WordPress 5.0

Struggle: Most contributions are still made a by a small team of volunteers. Seeing a few more people join, but progress is slow.

Big Win: New team members and hosting companies have joined the #hosting-community team and have started contributing.

Marketing

Contacted: @bridgetwillard

Priority: Continuing to write and publish case studies from the community. ETA is ongoing.

Struggle: No current team struggles.

Big Win: Wrote and designed a short Contributor Day onboarding card. It was used at Contributor Day at WCEU and onboarding time went down to 1 hour instead of 3 hours.

Meta (WordPress.org Site)

Contacted: @tellyworth, @coffee2code

Priority: Reducing manual work around the contributor space (theme review, GDPR/privacy, plugin review). ETA for small wins is end of quarter, larger efforts after that.

Struggle: Maintaining momentum on tickets. There are also some discussions about updating the ticket management process across teams that use the Meta trac system.

Big Win: The new About page launched and has been translated across most locale sites.

Mobile

Contacted: @elibud

Priority: Getting Gutenberg in the mobile applications. ETA is late December.

Struggle: Consuming the Gutenberg source in the ReactNative app directly. More info can be found here: https://make.wordpress.org/mobile/2018/07/09/next-steps-for-gutenberg-mobile/

Big Win: The WordPress mobile applications now fully support right-to-left languages and are compliant with the latest standards for accessibility.

Plugins

Contacted: @ipstenu

Priority: Clearing ~8,000 unused plugins from the queues. Likely ETA is September.

Struggles: Had to triage a lot of false claims around plugins offering GDPR compliance.

Big Win: Released 4.9.6 and updated expectations with plugin authors. Huge thanks to the Core Privacy team for their hard work on this.

Polyglots

Contacted: @petya, @ocean90, @nao, @chantalc, @deconf, @casiepa

Priority: Keep WordPress releases translated to 100% and then concentrate on the top 100 plugins and themes. ETA is ongoing.

Struggle: Getting new PTEs fast enough, and complex tools/systems. Overall, the volume of strings awaiting approval.

Support

Contacted: @clorith

Priority: Getting ready for the Gutenberg callout (it got pushed last quarter). Needing a better presence on the official support forums, and outreach for that is underway, ETA end of July. 

Struggle: Keeping contributors participating post-contributor days/drives. Considering the creation of a dedicated post-contributor day survey to get some insight here.

Big Win: The increase in international liaisons joining for weekly meetings, helping bring the wider support community together.

Theme Review

Contacted: @acosmin, @rabmalin, @thinkupthemes, @williampatton

Priority: Building a better Theme Check/Sniffer in order to automate most of the checks done right now by reviewers. ETA late 2018, early 2019.

Struggle: Bringing in new contributors to the team.

Big Win: Trusted Authors program

Tide

Contacted: @valendesigns (but usually @jeffpaul)

Priority: Storing PHPCompatibilty results inside the WordPress.org API and building a UI to display those results, an endpoint to request an audit is required for this work to continue.

Struggle: Development has dramatically slowed down while team members are on leave or pulled into internal client work.

Big Win: Migration to Google Cloud Platform (GCP) from Amazon Web Services (AWS) is complete and the audit servers have all been rewritten in Go. (This allows us to be faster with greater capacity and less cost.)

Training

Contacted: @bethsoderberg, @juliek

Priority: Lesson plan production. ETA is ongoing.

Struggle: The workflow is a little complex, so recruiting and training enough contributors to keep the process moving is a struggle.

Big Win: WordCamp Europe’s Contributor Day was very productive. New tools/workflow are in place and two team representatives were there to lead and help.

[consistantly-changing]

[Image descriptions in order: two screenshots of a Reddit post by u/iambeaker titled "'Twas the night before my resignation..." The post reads "I was brainwashed at an early age that loyalty and hard work would add countless "0's" to your paycheck. I remained optimistic after receiving year after year of 3% raises and working holidays. I missed my children's first steps, their school functions, and other life events so I could make the CEO more money.

After the passing of my stepfather and my boss calling me during the funeral, asking me to troubleshoot an issue while my mom cried into my shoulder, enough was enough. I changed companies and made a personal pledge to put family first and my career a distant third or fourth.

Fast forward to present day.... I find myself as the cornerstone of our department. Many of our clients' processes are automated through custom API developed by me. I have maintained a thorough documentation library on how to support the API, the reports, and all of its dependencies. I have offered to train backup so we are not single threaded. My manager told me "No way, we would never do anything to lose you!" Up to now, life was good.

At the beginning of December, ABC Company was audited by the government and found to be out of compliance. They hired my company to regain their compliance by the end of the year or risk fines near $750,000. ABC Company dragged their feet getting us the information we needed to start on the work.

I save my vacation days so I can take the week between Christmas and New Years off. I spend it with my kids to make up for all the time I lost when I worked when they were younger. This time is very precious to me.]

["Last week and this week, I have been notifying the project manager and my manager about my time off. I let them know I would need ABC Company's information soon so I can start on it. I offered to work extra hours to ensure my piece would be finished prior to Christmas Eve.

On Tuesday, my manager calls me and tells me ABC Company finally sent the data over I requested over two weeks ago. He looked beaten because he knew what was about to happen. I told him who should I walk through the project with because I'm off after Christmas. My manager says, "I'm sorry. But I have to ask you to work. I declined your time next week."

I asked, "What happens to my vacation time?" My boss says, "I'm sorry. You know the rules. Use it or lose it. I fought for you but HR wouldn't budge."

I drafted my resignation letter after the call, set it to delay delivery on Monday at 8am, and closed up shop.

ABC Company will pay $700,00 because nobody knows how to program that system since there is no back up. Our other clients will be expecting their monthly, quarterly, and annual reports within the first week of January. No one knows how to do this. We had six projects in progress involving extensive API and reporting, now those projects are dead in the water. Seven clients prepaid for API and automation upgrades in 2022 Q1. I don't know what will happen to those.

Please remember. Family first. You never get that time back."]

[Several screenshots of a text conversation between OP and their boss. It goes:

Boss: Hope you have a great Christmas

Boss: [OP] please call me as soon as you can.

Boss: I received your email. I understand that you are upset but resigning is not the best choice in this circumstance.

Boss: [OP], I have been your friend for five years. I'm asking you as a friend, not a manager to reconsider and call me. Let's talk about this

Boss: Hey, you made your point. You can have today off if you call me and let me know when we can expect you tomorrow. But you need to call me.

Boss: This is ridiculous. Do you know what your actions are going to do to the company? To me? You made your point. Just call me and we will figure out your vacation. But we need]

[Boss: This is ridiculous. Do you know what your actions are going to do to the company? To me? You made your point. Just call me and we will figure out your vacation. But we need [task] done by Friday.

Boss: Why won't you answer your phone? Your wife won't answer hers either. HR needs to talk to you.

Boss: I got out of a meeting with [name]. If we don't get this done for [client] we get penalized and that $ comes from bonus and pay increases. I want you to know that. If you don't finish that, nobody gets a bonus or a pay increase this year. This will be common knowledge

Boss: [OP], I've been talking to [name] We assume you resigned because you were going to lose your vacation. Here's the deal... if you call me by 3, we will rollover your vacation to 2022, but we still need you to work T-F. We need [task] done before 12/31. Call me before 3]

[Boss: [name] sent over a Corrupt CSV file and [name] followed your documentation to manually process it. [Name] tried python and the states can't see their dailies. You gotta help us here Call me!!!

Boss: Dude, log back in and help fix this stuff. Name your price. The states can't see their reports. [Company's] going to fine us [name] wants to know if the reports will be complete by 1/6. Family is important, but we are talking about peoples jobs on the line.

OP: Hey, I will be happy to return to [company] for $80/hour, $5000 immediate sign on bonus, and 6 weeks PTO. With a 12 month guarantee. Send that to me in writing and I'll start immediately.

Boss: Cmon. This is ridiculous. I don't even get paid that much. Why do you think you deserve this much? Quit being so full of yourself, be a team player, login and save this company.

Boss: Pick up your phone. I need to know what reports are due next week. We don't want to be fined.]

[Boss: Not even a counteroffer? Every hour the dailies are down, that's $1000 per STATE. [Name] does not know how to fix it. I don't know how much clearer I need to be. Log back in, fix his mistake, get [task] done, be a team player. We are family too you know.

OP: Please stop calling my dad. He has nothing to do with this. You can call me all you want but don't call my emergency contacts. I resigned, I didn't die.

Boss: We had to make sure you were ok.

Boss: Congrats [OP]. You cost the firm $19k. You taught us a lesson. Now pick up the phone and we talk about a reasonable offer. But you need to fix this states daily thing right now. That is your priority

Boss: Pick up the phone HR wants to conduct their exit interview]

[Boss: [OP], here are your priorities

1. Fix state dailies

2. Complete [task]

3. Provide [name] list of 1/6 reports

4. Train [name] being your back up

Boss: How much time will it take to fix the dailies? I need to tell [name]

OP: What does this mean? To be 100% clear, I resigned today. I don't have priorities or projects. I am no longer an employee. If you would like me to return, I gave you my offer

Boss: There was a time when a two week notice would before you resigned. Maybe you should be a better businessman and give us two weeks? [OP], we all make sacrifices. You have to sacrifice one week of vacation so we can fix some stuff around this department. Next year, maybe you won't ask off for this week until closer to December and you know what the workload is. You gambled and you lose. Just laugh it off and log on, let's get these states fixed. Let's fix [company]. Let's get this department fixed

Boss: Pick up your phone. It is [name] and me We need to know what it's going to take to fix the state dailies. $19k/hour is going to murder us

Boss: [OP] answer your phone

Boss: ANSWER YOUR PHONE!!!

OP: For $10,000, I'll fix your state daily file and train the team on how to run it so this doesn't happen again. Nobody is familiar with Python or understands Alteryx or SSIS. I can train them all using my existing documentation. The answers are all there.

OP: I can fix the state daily file tonight to avoid further fines and train the team the rest of the week. But I will NOT do any work on [project] or provide any information about recurring reports.

Boss: Is that some kind of joke? Your documentation does not have the answer. We've been through it [censored] laughing at $10k. You already cost us $32k today, you want to squeeze another $10k. You got greedy over Christmas]

[Boss: $10k

Fix daily files

Train the team

Do the [project]

Run the recurring reports for January

Deal?

Then we are done.

OP: That is a generous offer. But I'm firm on my offers. But I'm telling you, you don't need me. The answer is in the documentation.

Boss: Then where is it? If you were a true person of your word, you would tell us and save this company. Save your coworkers. Save their paychecks and their bonuses.]

[A gif of Homer Simpson driving. He turns behind him to shout angrily, then the camera changes to a wide shot where he drives over a short wooden bridge, throwing a lighter onto it and lighting it on fire.]

[An update from the OP, which says, "Present Day:

Throughout the day, the manager and CEO send a barrage of texts and phone calls.

One of my coworkers finds the documentation and fixes the reports. Later in the afternoon, he is served corrective action because he was accountable for processing the corrupted file and did not find the documentation faster. He tells me the manager, HR, and the CEO spent all night finding evidence to support the corrective action. I tell him to get his resume up to date. Total down time: 16 hours

Around 3pm, I get a phone call from a new number. It was the client's business manager (the liaison between the former company and the client). I explained to her the delay of getting data until Christmas (despite multiple requests), the loss of a full week of PTO, the text messages/phone calls, and my offer to come back to help her company reach compliance.]

["The business manager told me a different story. The manager and CEO called her earlier to inform her I quit and I am "stalling the project as ransom" in order to obtain more money. I explained how one could skew this view, but I am not actively seeking to return. After observing how the company treats their employees and after being treated post resignation, I have no interest in returning to the company.]

["The business manager asks me what terms (rate, signing bonus, etc.) what I was seeking to return to my former company. She tells me she will call back in an hour and not respond to any more texts from the manager or CEO.

CEO Text: Did the business manager call you? Did she give you a piece of her mind?

Manager Text: I bet the business manager is going to make you personally pay for that fine!

The business manager calls me back on a conference call and asks, "What do you need to finish this project? Software, data, tools, etc.?" I give her a list of everything I need. I answer other questions related to the project.

She says, "Here's the plan. We are going to offer you a contract to finish this API for us by the end of the year for double the hourly rate you asked. If you can finish by 12/31, we will give you the signing bonus. After the New Year, we will see where we are staffing wise and maybe, we can find you a spot, but there is no guarantee, especially if you do not the project. Is that a deal?"]

["I agree to the terms. I inform to put terms in writing and I can start as soon as IT gives me a virtual machine. The business manager says, "No problem, legal checked the contract and there is a clause stating if your former company is unable to perform a function which they agreed to do, we are able to outsource it to a third party and charge the company for it. I just need them to state they are unable to perform the API function, and we will bill them for your time."

TLDR; The client is giving me a contract and billing my former company double my asking rate because the former company is unable to successfully execute a function by the deadline they agreed to in a contract."]
