I paid a visit to my old place of employment yesterday. The new guy was in a panic over a report that's due at the end of the month. It's something I set up in Excel, and that he couldn't figure out.I am not sure how it happened, but as I was walking him through what to do, the new guy told me his salary. The college is paying him more than they paid me.
They are paying him more even though the position was downgraded from director to dean after my resignation. They are paying him more despite a state budget crisis and hiring freeze.
WTF?

You are a gracious person for going to help him out. Knowing what you know now, I'm not sure I could go help him again.
It's not his fault. It's the administration.
The same thing happened at Carnegie Mellon. I'd just helped bring in their third class, and this time around, my models helped them save almost $1 million. I finished my dissertation that year. I felt with the credential, three successful enrollment cycles, and all that savings, I'd earned both a raise and a promotion.
They wouldn't do it.
So I got an interview at next-door-neighbor Duquesne University, and a job offer. Carnegie Mellon countered with only phased in raise. (That's when I left for SDSU and more money than I'd ever dreamed of.)
The guy that replaced me at Carnegie Mellon, the up until then slacker analyst II with only a masters degree and a penis, was given assistant director rank and $10k more salary than I sought for my raise.
It's still a man's world. Fuckers.
That's really shitteh. So kind of you to help him out though.
