[QUOTE="Route 66, post: 1208606, member: 40816"] that's YOU, CJinx. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe you're still relatively young and therefore still considered to be economically viable to employers. Easy enough for you. Many of us here are not in your position. You may think that's just an excuse but believe me, it's the absolute truth. If Fred would have revealed his true Scrooge-like nature 20 years ago I would have heeded your advice. To simply say if we don't like the way things are - leave, is really not much different than the "America - love it or leave it" crowd. May sound like a great idea, but the reality is that it just ain't that easy for most of us is it? Does that mean we shouldn't express our displeasure with the leaders of this country? If a waitress who worked her tail off for a busload of demanding customers for 3 solid hours and when all was said and done they left her a whopping 2% tip and she mentioned in a forum for restaurant employees that she felt insulted by it, would your response to her be "stop complaining, after all they weren't obligated to leave you anything" ? Technically that may be absolutely true, ethically it's absolutely wrong. And so is this pathetic excuse for a raise coupled with the fact that it's 7 months late and soon to be followed up with this new farce of a health care plan which in and of itself is enough to make us ill.
