Gotta love...

the corporate office. They drop the raise percentages down again this year (so you can't even afford to keep up with inflation), create a bunch of new groups, move key people from their current positions to some of the new groups, both groups are now understaffed, they add more work, expect more productivity and then wonder why the hell you can't get your job done in 8 hours.

You guys get to work 8 hours?

My boss expects 60-70 hour weeks every week nonstop.

No raises theis year. Maybe a bonus if we do well. Last raise was a year ago - a whopping 2.5%. I took a trip to McDonalds and spent my 2005 raise on 6 chicken McNuggets.

And yet, the top brass continues to promote themselves into oblivion and approve bonuses and raises for each other as they tee off on the golf course.

Hey now - lots of important works gets done at the golf course. Not to mention their doing their thing to help keep the US economy growing - keeping all those "little people" employed you know...
