[Cdubneeddeal]

Don't spend it all in one place 😉

 

[Alone]

I get my 5k/year raise in a month. Can't wait!

 

[Capt Caveman]

Not bad for a Corporate Whistleblower!

 

[amdhunter]

Congrats. Even a small raise these days are better than the alternative. 🙂

i get my $5k/month raise next year, assuming the bailout happens. (yup, it going in our pockets! stupid wallstreet? ha! i;m laughing all the way to the bank! WITH YOUR $$$)

 

[Kadarin]

Our raises have been postponed until Q4, if they occur at all. And we also had a round of layoffs that concluded today.

 

[MotF Bane]

Now that you have a raise, how about an update?

A.OK.

buy real rice in bulk (alternator size is acceptable) if you have a rice cooker... you're paying like 200% more for rice per ounce if you buy the boxes

By all account I am a rice-n00b. I am buying things like wild rice and ones with a hint of flavors etc. for now to pair up with vegetables.

I've been hitting up some really nice area restaurants once a week and I can't stand the crappier stuff.

<--has learned the first lesson of cooking. WANT to eat at home. Don't worry, I'm really digging it and it is so easy that I'll moved to auto-parts sizes soon enough

goose sold out to the man.

 

[trmiv]

Yea I got about a $40 per paycheck after taxes raise coming soon too most likely. I may start getting cheese on my whoppers.

 

[BeauJangles]

$40 dollars a month to keep you quiet? You're either really cheap or weren't much of a whistle blower.

 

[IronWing]

My base take-home pay hasn't gone up in six years. Raise => jacked up health insurance premiums => repeat.

 

[randomlinh]

yay, i got a ... wait.. i just got more work for little more pay, maybe... blasted state budget deficits.

*fingers crossed for a nice raise with my promotion*

you live, you learn, you realize that there is more to life than some BS to die a martyr for and move forward. there are more important things... I never capitulated however.

final statement on the subject:

The fact is that it is over and since I was ignored I did the most appropriate thing and took care of my sh!t. They will probably never understand the magnitude of what I did for them so I won't pretend that they absolutely need me, but I know enough to stop worrying about that now. I am glad to have a stable job in this economic climate, I work very hard to keep it, and that is that. I have no reservations in believing that I am a great asset to them. Also, the experience and calmness I have received and likewise developed due to 0-day threats that one normally doesn't HAVE to face is something that I can always take with me.

the 3% is just more money to pay the bills🙂 I won't be greedy during in such a shitty economic client.

one final time:
<--for the sake of his job and his sanity he took care of everything, never admitted fault with what he did even in front of the harshest judges... I stepped up and that's that.

/non-noodle or rice discussion

Both are not really nice, right?

Dread Lobster's hush puppies are quite tasty. That's about it.

There is what I make for myself with tender loving care, there is what I eat for lunch when I forget to make myself lunch, there is the tasty stuff I go out for, and then there is the sh!t i won't go near...

Red Lobster is in the last category...

<---not THAT desperate
