And of course, the "pot" to go around gets smaller every year and now we have a few new people on our team who came in making more then the rest of us - so my mamager will pamper them and give them the best %'s (which amounts to less money for the rest of us). So sometimes it does not pay to work your butt off here - no one notices...
Oh well, hopefully new job soon! Sweetjesus I hope.
This!!

Someome off the street would make $8-10 an hour LESS than me. Only reason I have stayed for so long!!

I would be tickled to shits if I got 8%. I will get 3% this year, (or I quite) and will be happy with that.

Well they were in another group here that gets paid more then we do to start (it's expected, but at the same time - we review legal documents and mitigate risk for the company all day long - and people who print out pension calculations from a computer program make more then us -- ?? NO LOGIC) but it's aggrivating b/c they don't do as much work, get paid more, and my manager is like in LOVE with the one girl who asks ME to help her on HER work all the time and it's not even a process I know - HELLO!! WTF?

I've just outlived this job years ago and couldn't move out of it because its a black hole - but this bitch has her papers now and I'll be damned if I get stuck here paying off a degree I'm not going to use!

No, this is paragraph of the year. Being happy is the most important part!! And having a great attitude about things falling into place is just as important!!

Yaaaaaaaassaa jewel!!

When I read that I was like - THAT is what I am going for

I had to get my degree first - but now I can find a job that's a career and not just a check

(it sure helps when you like your job AND you get paid for it though )

It's sadly true way too much of the time. I wish I hadn't waited so long to do something about it though - b/c DAMN does it suck coming in everyday when you wore out your welcome years ago

I love both my jobs and make enough money for Jewel and I. I wish I was able to save more, but it is what it is. Sometimes it takes a few bad things to happen in your life to realize all the good this is going on around you.
