I went to the link and listened to the recording of the call. Nancy didn't ask for a raise--at least not in the abridged portion that they released--she only asked:
I wanted more information about some help that I need.
The DUmmies sure are ignorant about working life, jobs, and such.
The McResource line sounds like a pretty typical employee assistance hotline.
DUmmies, you don't call the employee assistance hotline to ask for a raise, you talk to your boss. Nadin it if you don't believe me.
Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) are employee benefit programs offered by many employers. EAPs are intended to help employees deal with personal problems that might adversely impact their work performance, health, and well-being. EAPs generally include short-term counseling and referral services for employees and their household members.
Employees and their household members may use EAPs to help manage issues in their personal lives. EAP counselors typically provide assessment, support, and referrals to additional resources such as counselors for a limited number of program-paid counseling sessions. The issues for which EAPs provide support vary, but examples include:
substance abuse
emotional distress
major life events, including births, accidents and deaths
health care concerns
financial or non-work-related legal concerns
family/personal relationship issues
work relationship issues
concerns about ageing parents
