Oh the nerve


So someone comes in from another department talking about our new assignment (that I am refusing to do!). They come into to my office and laugh about those who say no and how they won't ever get a raise, because their names will be on "the list." Then they laugh, like no one would refuse. Then they laugh about the $300 stipend for taking the assignment and what a joke that is. Finally my boss tells him that he is trying to get me a raise and change my title because this is all so unsettling to me! Then he tells me to have a good weekend and walks out with his tail between his legs. I know he went home last night and realized what a big mistake he made... too late. He cannot even apologize, but it would not help. I am outta here! Sorry this should probably be on the rant thread!

Good call Maple.


Ruby - we are almost there. Hang in there. Start picturing yourself on the desk with a nice drink, snack and a light breeze blowing.

Well, my being on strike carried over into yesterday and I went home at lunch and did not come back. I am still upset. Anyway, I come in today to find a letter on my desk where my boss had finally asked for my title change and a $5000 a year raise! He just asked, it had not been approved, but it had made my strike end for now! Pray that it is approved... if it is then the  is on me!

Go Ruby Go! Good luck. We are with you in spirit. Have you heard anything about the other position that you were going to send your resume over?

You might be thinking about MJ. My previous job is open that I had four years ago, but I am not ready to back, but I will if this raise does not go through. Thanks!

Finally we got answers to our raises! Normally everyone gets a 3% raise. But because of rising healthcare costs, we were told that would not happen this year. Well my boss got bold and requested that eveyone get a 2% raise and I get a 15% raise (I threatened to leave long ago!) Anyway, I finally found out today that I am getting a 7% raise and a title change!!!!


 


So I will not quit yet, too settled in and get to leave when I need to! ETC... many bonuses to working here. Also my raise will be backdated from the original request date in July!!!! So Ruby might actually be in a good mood today!!!!!!

GO RUBY GO!

You deserve that money! You've earned it! A ONE PERSON STRIKE! I always wanted to try that!

I fear my old employer would have just changed the locks once I walked out though
