This thread reminds me to give myself a raise and a new toy for being my most valued employee.
How's your CEO doing?Two consecutive years of ZERO annual increase AND another increase in premiums for medical, dental, and vision policies. I am going BACKWARDS!!Bastards!!
Fomenting dissension!
The terrorists have won.
i must spread some rep before giving Dirt a gold star for employee of the month.
I am still a contractor, so I get no paid time off and the office was closed a bunch of days for the holidays. My healthcare is crazy expensive, but it could be worse.
I just save a bunch of money by switching to Directv.

As a Republican, shouldn't you by laying yourself off?
I *tried* to discourage her from going back to work... warned her that work sucks. Told her she should go skiing every day. What can I say - her parents did a pretty thorough job of indoctrinating her.
I see what you did there.Personally, I hope he is unemployed come 6 Nov.
LOL...Republican? Not me!!
ftfy.
crabby - didn't you get a promotion this year? and IIRC you asked your boss for a raise, and he gave you double what you had in mind?
That was across the board. I did a lot better.
EDIT - JK, yes...no promotion but a healthy raise (10% 2 years ago, another 12% a couple months ago)....hence why I'm content at the moment. But in terms of overall company-wide raises across the board, it's been stagnant compared to years past, and which is why I was blown away by the 12%. I had 5-6% in mind and would have been happy with that given the current conditions.

I got a 2% raise and am stoked! I work for property management, and control the gym cards, so I get free gym. I also control the garage access, so I get free covered parking too. I also have time to sit on RM and blow up the Random Pic Thread regularly, oh and read my kindle. My job RULES. 
That's worth complaining about. I wouldn't feed Aramark food to a possum. In fact, I'd rather eat a possum than Aramark food. Actually, I'd rather eat out a possum than eat Aramark food.
Well, the food did suck and I didn't eat there again.
And my old company was nice to accommodate my complaints by severing me.
Severance rules.
are you being severed?
Severely.
At least you have a job.
It was great for me. Then I got a commission job.
I am going to save this thread for the next time the right wing moron in my office starts bitching about his pay freeeze...
