There was an 18 month gap between raises, then a 12 month gap. Your math stinks.

Why can't you just admit it? Fred pulled another fast one. 6 months with no raise last year plus 6 months with no raise this year equals a net full year without any raises. This is one of his best tricks yet.

No, no, no, I'm paid to spin all the bad news into good news, remember???



Only those people who have shown that they hate the place and complain that Smith, or anyone else in the company, is only concerned about money. That's because those complainers are no different. You're willing to enable all sorts of perceived wrongdoing for the sake of a dollar. You don't have to stay and be a part of it if it offends you. You don't have the ability to change an entire company but you have control over your own life.

If you choose to stay and be a part of what you despise so much simply because it's expedient, fine. Don't be surprised when you get called on it.

You are pathetic. What does a Corporate Apologist/Social Media Shill position pay?

I hear people complain that "They want their country back!" But yet, they don't leave.

They hate the POTUS, the way the country is being "overrun" by "illegals" and they are just "offended" by it all.

Yet, they don't move to another country. I'm with you.

Those are the ones, I personally despise.
Actually it's the haters who claim people are saying this and that, who inject race and homophobia into every discussion to taint the other side, who must push these sideshows to cover up the fact that their side has made as much a mess of things as everyone else are the main reason we find what's going on in this country despicable. The never ending chorus of vicious name calling rhetoric. If that is all you offer then we're not buying.

You're far from understanding how Smith operates. Watch out for future disappointments.
Maybe, but considering that they've already done right by us before our initial merit raise would have taken place, I'm not too worried about it.

The hate comes from the right far more than anything comparable on the left.
I can't tune the AM radio dial without hearing racial hate talk show callers station after station.Beck,Savage,Wilkow,Hannity,That nutcase on info wars etc,giving platforms for the Ted Nugents to spew hatred.Beating down the poor and disadvantaged while bragging about all their wealth.
Nothing comes close.
Hate,hate is all the right is made up of.
I left the Republican Party a decade ago because it's definitely against anything my catholic schooling taught me.I wonder what the pope would say to all those hate mongers?

You must be living in an alternative universe. The reason right wing radio is so prevalent is they expose the methodical herding of America towards a Socialist state. If the left could put forth arguments as to why their point of view is better then there'd be alot more left wing radio. They can't, and are only capable of lying and name calling. The President's legacy is Obamacare, and he could only sell it by lying his head off. And anyone who opposes it is a "racist". It's pathetic. Apparently the American public can't grasp the enormity of the debt he's run up, or they would've elected Romney. But they do get what Obamacare is doing to their wallet, and the Dems will pay for that this November. Want to see hate? Tune in to MSNBC. It's a line-up of hatred. And I'll give you that some you mention are hatemongers, especially Savage. But not Hannity, he's just a partisan conservative. You liberals just can't stand anyone voicing an opinion contrary to your own. That is what really worries the right wing, most of the slaughter in the last century came at the hands of Leftists who wanted to control every aspect of people's lives.

And what really scares the left is the amount of nonsense the right believes.
They are the ones stalking up on guns and ammo and airing rip off gold investment commercials to their crazed fan base.
I'm still waiting to get thrown into a FEMA camp with the rest of all the white people,lol.

Apparently, you never had the pleasure of listening to Air America Radio (and considering they lost millions and millions and millions of dollars before going out of business, few people did). Hate doesn't equal ratings, as they found out.

I think the most rational people ever are the Occupy participants. All of their actions were noble and everything they did showed their movement in a positive light. All of them were sane and reasonable.

Air America didn't utilize hate. That's a specialty of the Right. Probably why they didn't succeed.

I religiously watch Fox News????? I may have spent an hour over the course of the last year on all cable news channels combined. What a pathetic attempt at partisan hackery.
I see. The key word is "Cable news". I guess I should have included "Talk Radio".

Ron Reagan Jr, Ed Schultz, Stephanie Miller, and your point is?

They were the hate hosts of Air America.

What do you get if you combine the audience numbers of the people you mentioned? An audience that's almost as large as the 6th largest talk radio audience. It's pretty bad that you included Ron Jr because he flopped BAD. I remember AAR made a big deal about getting him on its network, acting as if the fact that Ronald Reagan had a liberal son was going to rock the political landscape. Maybe it would have if he had an audience that consisted of more than me and 28 other people.

Seriously? All they ever did was make smug or vicious remarks about the right. Even left leaning listeners turned to Limbaugh and Hannity because they couldn't find substance on Air America. I've come to realize that much of what is considered Leftist views in this country is about envy. Many just can't stand that others have what they don't. They'd rather tear everything apart than go on knowing others have more and live better. Yes, strive for a better paycheck. Stand up for your rights. But tamp down the hatred because this country is getting more divided every day.

You mean the masses who turned out for Obama because a conservative government might restrict welfare, food stamps, and other subsidies? Yeah, it's all about belief in Uncle Sugar.

Sigh. Go on believing. I think the "envy" you speak of is really disgust at some of the tactics Republicans favor. I don't envy Smith's millions, but the way he made them disgusts me. See the difference?

Republicans love playing the food stamp card as if its a big drain on the Budget when if fact its pennies. The people always complaining about these welfare types must really have envy towards someone who sits at home and gets food from the government living in a shight hole without a job....or may not even want one(job). Envy of someone getting money for sitting at home, thats it. They truly are jealous. They wish they could sit in an apartment all day watching Price is right. I am correct. aren't I? They're just jealous? Because if they weren't envious, they would also complain about Exxon Mobil, BP, Conoco Phillips, Chevron and Shell. All Billion dollar companies and receive total of 4 Billion dollars in tax breaks every year. Wow, I guess when a company earns over 100 billion a year it hard to find enough money around to pay its taxes. But hey, they're rich and rich is always right huh? The only difference between these Food stamp TAKERS and walmart employees is the food stampers stay home and make the same amount of cash as the Walmart employee. And Mentioning Walmart. The Billion Dollar walmart pays their employees so little that, in the state of California, those employees are having to get government assistance in the tune of 86 million dollars. Now look at that. The tax payers of california are paying Walmarts employees in the form of Food stamps etc so Walmart owners can be rich. Some would call this corporate welfare. But not Repulicans. Haliburton received a contract over 500 million dollars in no bid deal. No bid? In Business wouldn't it be wise to go through a bidding process to get the best deal and fairest price? That's just plan stupid, right? I mean Who the heck is Haliburton anyway?....what?.....George Bush's Vice president was a former CEO of the Company? Oh Got it now. At least 40 billion in total went to Haliburton and not one republican said a word.
Direct federal subsidies to corporations: The Cato Institute estimates that federal subsidies to corporations cost taxpayers almost $100 billion every year. Federal tax breaks for corporations: The tax code gives corporations special tax breaks that have reduced what is supposed to be a 35-percent tax rate to an actual tax rate of 13 percent, saving these corporations an additional $200 billion annually. Not a word From republicans.
What we've learned from it all is, Tyron take money from Government bad, Millionaires and Billionaires taking from Government good. Or, again, maybe they're just jealous of someone receiving 200 dollars a week and sitting at home.
