doing the math
I've been working out the math...
Had I received my much-anticipated sabbatical, it would have been paid at 90% of my salary for the 3-month period. This works out to 22.5% of my annual salary. Since the sabbatical option comes once every 5 years, this works out to the equivalent of a 5.5% annual bonus.
So, my new philosophy is that when the new job offer from the new parent company lands on my desk next week, I will ask them to add 5.5% to the salary, or else give me a 22.5% bonus up-front. I bloody well earned it, after all.
If they say no, the old parent company is making noise about wanting to hire me, which would probably actually be a downgrade in corporate culture, but I might consider it. I'd also have to live in Princeton.
Did I mention that mergers suck?
