Reama, Thats what I'm thinking.
I wish I could retain her. It's a part time job and I can't give her enough to survive in Marin, at least that's what she's telling me. Her and her husband own a few properties and have been in their house for 31 years. I think there are other things going on that she's not telling me.
Sounds like they're ready to pull out of California taxpayer life and enjoy what they have left. Doesn't make any sense to retire here where the state will just lop off a cool 10% or whatever from your retirement income. They can sell or rent and coast off into the sunset.
When I was a young lad working my first real job that required some effort and professionalism, I worked very hard to be very good at it. But every year, I'd only ever score "meets expectations" on my performance evaluation. After a couple years I called out the manager and asked him if he really honestly thought I was just scraping by. He changed a few to "exceeds expectations" and I got like a 23¢ raise. From then on I knew raises don't come unless they're contracted or demanded. They'd been lowballing my evals to save a couple hundred bucks per year. Jerks.
