sorry Paul seems to be the way of the times,
They told us no raises for this year and doing a bunch of other cost cutting in lieu of no massive layoffs. Guess I'm lucky I have a job.
I guess you need to be on wall street or a politician to make out these days. The rich get richer, us workin stiffs get poorer.

They stated that we all have to "tighen our belts". My problem is that as a sales guy I exceeded my quota last year. Brought in $1.4M in new business. The company as a whole doubled their revenue figures for 2008. I wonder where all the money went?????
I got a sneaking idea that some of the executive management team all got big bonuses and us grunts are just getting the shaft for our hard work.
