I just received another raise. This one was 6.5%.
“This increase acknowledges a great job performance, value to the company, and an excellent job at multiple job duties to several departments at once.”
I am making 157% of what I was when I began here…and no one has asked me to break any laws for at least six months.
Congrats! Whatever will you spend that money on?
I’m married, have a teenaged son, and a daughter nearing birth-giving; the question does not come up. 🙂
Crap. I’ve gotta get into the more dubious fields of employment. Four years later, I’m making… 119% of what I started off making, and 113% of what the people starting now are making.
There it is; you get a job that you aren’t qualified for, where your employers will ask you to violate ethics, morals, and common propriety, and you get the bucks.
I should have become a pimp of preschool girls. Then I’d really be making bank.
I say put that 6.5% in the envelope for whatever that envelope is for, now.
After you spend it on celebratory things. (;
In fact, both of those things crossed my mind. Although I may put 3.75% in the envelope and 3.75% in me pocket.
Congrats on the raise, dearest.
Now just don’t go spending it all on bubble gum and strippers. 😉
Certainly not at the same time.
They’re just buttering you up for the next time they ask you to break the law. It must be a doozy.
Well, at least they’re planning to butter me up this time.
Well, if you’re going to get fucked up the ass, it might as well be with lube, right?
…and money is soooo slickery.
