Old dogs and new tricks

This fine organization for which I work has decided that I need to pass a licensing exam even though I do not need for regulatory purposes. No problem so far.

Further directive says pass within the next 6 months of you will be removed from your present position. Have a nice day.

OK, I'll play, the problem may be that I haven't had to use effective study habits for years. My rememberer may not be as sharp as it once was.

I guess I could go study, but I'd have to miss all this. :willy:

what kind of exam exactly? as though you'll do your job better after passing this little exam. if they think your work stinks presently, they should have the balls to tell you so, and not beat around the bush for some excuse to can you. weasels...i'd start looking for another job.

Nah, it's not personal. I manage an investment office for a large wire house. This was an edict for all branch managers nationally. There a few of us old war horses that have been licensed for a long time and have equivalent certifications. The powers that be decided we all need this specific license, that of a registered investment advisor.

My next job will be the same as your present one, retired and spreading sunshine wherever I go. :D

registered investment advisor: son, you have to spend less and save more if you ever hope to get out from under the thumb of the man.

client: but, but, but, what will i do with my time?

registered investment advisor: whatever you want....:D

good luck. :thumbs:

i never study for a test. i'd rather spend the extra money to take it twice if need be, the first time being just a reconnaissance(sp?) to see whats on it:cheers:

Don't do a damn thing until they fire you, then sue them to get your job back with back pay and punitive damages (emotional scarring and shet).

Seriously, I'd be checking with an atty to see if you even need to bother complying with this arbitrary and unnecessary new job requirement.

Good time to find a nice 20-year-old college girl to help you study.

That has always been a miserable failure for me, they turn around the questions on the next test and you are right back at the beginning. I just go ahead and study, besides you never know when you'll really need to know/use it.
