It's official, our CEO just walked several blocks to give me a formal apology, a thank you and a promise for more support/money to grow my department.

After my manager spent the weekend writing a letter to the company heads outlining the mistake they made in laying me off (not to sound like an ass but there really is no department w/o me... we're down to 2 guys), they separated our numbers from the rest of the studio and realized their mistake.

We've had several months this year where we (the 2 of us) were nearly 200% billable! No other department can say that. And, work that come's through my department stays in the company, we're a gateway for several other departments... If I went to a competitor, there is a chance I'd take some of that work with me.

So, as far as I'm concerned... all's well that end's well.

Grats, though I am happy that didn't happen with me. They keep asking if I am sure that I don't want to stay and take a promotion. But in my case, 3 more years, I would have an additional 30K or so a year and my cash out retirement would go up 40K. If i take the package, I leave with less cash in my retirement fund but I get 36 weeks at full pay with only tax for deductions, I get 5K for training, and I get the full 2012 Bonus and 1/2 of the 2013 bonus.

Just made sense to let it lay as it is.

So gratz, and enjoy your winter

he's sent me few replacement controllers but they were all the ones that i assume just have a bunch of diodes and are covered in liquid e-tape.

i have no issue with a hitec servo thats only had the pot and gear pin modded (other than the creep issue), which can be fixed with a simple toggle switch like i have on lemonade.

ive also never had a winch fail or cause issues from actually using the winch. its always been 'wtf, why isnt my rig working right?' and after i get it home to investigate its the damn winch controller thats at fault.

Bah! Nearly got the wiring done for the Clod and started testing it only to find out the TorqueMaster is seemingly dead; doesn't even beep when you add power.
