And I really, REALLY love cats. So it's a terrible situation.

thanks guys!Re: the pay rises, it's really quite insane. Apparently you automatically jump up on the pay scale every 2-3 years or so. A bad performance review can delay it, but only by a year or so. Even if you do a terrible job you'll still eventually get moved up on the scale.
Not that I'm planning to be that person obviously, but sheesh. And we're talking considerable pay rises, like 300-400 euros net a month. I gotta admit that I'm still regularly weirded out and/or turned off by the way this old fashioned civil service system works, but I'm obviously not gonna say no to any pay rises either. And knowing myself I'll probably put in great work an improve our processes considerably, so I think I deserve it anyway. 
Always welcome in Euroland Satsi! Maybe this time we'll both have money to do stuff beyond hitting the bars
(to be fair, you had money last time too, but me not so much)Statistics: Posted by Rinox — Sat Mar 02, 2024 5:15 am

Thanks guys! And to be clear, that's just the technical denomination of people who are part of the permanent service over there.
I don't usually introduce myself as an official. But maybe I should...No hoops left to jump through as far as I can tell, just a final evaluation left to do (which I already completed my side of). And then I hope to be able to ride it into the sunset while hopefully also being able to make a few interesting professional moves along the way. I realise that doesn't sound very amibitious or interesting, but at 42 I shouldn't be taking too many professional risks anymore. If I wasn't already in a highly paid private sector job by now, it was unlikely to happen in the years to come considering my educational and professional background. So working at a place with steady employment, great benefits, even better pay, a lot of leave and potentially a very good pension seems like a wise choice. I'm just glad all the effort getting in is paying off.

I'm 3 years into my current job. I think it's the longest i've ever worked anywhere. I'll put another year or two in still before moving on i think. Getting old!!

A little over a year will make 4 years at my current employer, at which point all my stock options will be fully vested.
