WARNING: RANT

I used to love my job. We were like a family here. Then there was a scandal, and a big change in management. New people brought in, old ones laid off.

For the past three (or four) years we have not received raises. Oh wait... let me rephrase that.... those of us who actually DO most of the work have not received raises. However, the big wigs.... have and they didn't tell us.

Not only have they got raises, but they have got huge bonuses. How do I know this? Because as a stockholder in the company I was able to read the report they put out because our share holder meeting is coming up in February.

Our high mgmt go raises EVERY year the past three years while the rest of us did not. And these people are already making HUGE amounts of money. (over $180K per year).

I know how much the Board of Directors receive Just for sitting on the board. I know how much the president of the company makes. I know how much the VP of Reg is making. I know how much our new CFO is making (and he got hired on at $20,000 higher then the guy who just left.)

It's not fair. It is NOT fair that those of us who make less have to deal with rises costs of things to the point where we're strapped or on a tighter budget, but these guys are still making oodles of money.

It's not fair that they tell US we CANNOT get a raise because the company can't afford it. But they all got raises and bonuses on TOP of the 250,000 dollars a year they make.

I'm sorry. It's wrong.

Two people I know here are going to quit. I am seriously considering making it three.
