That's only because of the chickenshit workers that didn't ask for a bigger bump were bringing down the average.


Wow, never heard the word NO or one of our divisions LOST 25 Million in the "wonderful Obama economy"?


FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS.

BTW I'm one of the Americans mentioned above. No savings, 401K contributions down to 1% and gas prices ****ing me over week after week.

ESAD jackass.

LOLing at your pic, wasp. 

Get a load of the know-it-all condescension on this idiot!  I think he mentioned he's just out of school.  I'm speechless.  I'm not going to get into a pissing contest or anything, though.  Waste of time, he has everything in the world to learn yet.

Did I forget to mention that during that conversation there will be a negotiation?  I'm sorry for not giving a thorough explanation of what should transpire.  If you think you should start out with a higher figure, go for it, but I've found that 12 will ultimately get to 8.  Maybe you think you're not worth it?

Doh!

Well, to start....... :rotf:

My wife runs our business because I'd fire everybody.

But to start, we have two workers who get their health insurance paid by our business. We pay them some salary and the rest commission. On occasion one will ask for a raise, and we (my wife) will give them a choice a raise and THEY pay for the insurance or SELL MORE. I know it's not easy but it isn't easy for us either for the reasons stated by Alpha Mare.

Yeah, they may quit but that is the cost of doing business. Democrats seem to think businesses and governments have a money tree.  :mental:

Bottom line, it's the Obama economy stupid.

Ask your boss for a 12% raise, or 8%.  Come back & tell us how it went, mkay?

I doubt the little troll even has a job.  He is probably living in mommy's basement munching on cheetos that moomy paid for.

jhincka is our most recent troll.

He's a delightful troll.

But he's a troll nonetheless.

I think we'll have fun with this chewtoy for awhile, then he'll be upchucked into the crapper with the rest of 'em.

No he is not a delightful troll.  He got boring 2 days ago.

I'll roll my chair over to my boss tomorrow and ask for a 50% raise.  After all, I work for a bank... they have money to hand out like candy.  ::)

To make a long story short. I make more money then two people that are in charge of me.  :-)

Due to that, I won't get a raise for a while.

I do have more then $500 in savings.

I had a pretty nice savings account. This was a tough year. A stroke, appendectomy, and then a Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion. Good times. Just the helicopter ride to Las Vegas when I had the stroke was 28k and it was "out of network"

I'm so sorry about all those expensive troubles, Rob. 

It will all work out. I at least made the choice to have pre tax dollars taken out of my pay check for health insurnace, many of my coworkers won't....they need the money for cigs and booze...they just go (or take their kids) to the hospital and no one ever gets paid, my bills get paid. The lowest cost policy is only $15 a week. I take the better policy and pay a little more...I plan for the future with good choices.

I paid a few thousand out of pocket, but my insurance picked up over 100k this year.

I'm still alive and able to help care for my mother. That is the Blessing.
