Sometimes, its better off not knowing.
I ran into a (former) co-worker, from my previous employment. Turns out ... a) the company which had seemed relatively stingy (even so far as one of the upper upps saying how much money we'd (they'd) made in a year where the employee's had found conditions more and more strict) suddenly began giving stock to the high-placed employees (of which I think I would have been part of)... b) the company was later bought by a larger company... c) those stock notes suddenly became Real Money (tm). I lost/missed out.
How much? Well, while this guy was already making good cash in salary, and later went on to contract for insanely good compensation, he was able to take a 4 month climbing vacation. Then get his commercial fixed-wing license. And get his rotor-wing license (@ $24,000+). And now he's moving to BC to be a 'copter pilot, climb, etc, at a young age.
What have I accomplished?
