How do you know that until you demand it and show you're willing to fight through the process to get it? You're clearly a victim of the Ford & Harrison self-defeatist course, but many of us cut that class.

No you don't want it ERflyer. Like Karnak, you passionately and vigorously make the case to not even try. It's who you are ace. Own it.

Another dopey false premise. Who is saying we want a raise amounting to 50% more than our competitors? Are you starting to see what I mean about you ERflyer? Do you see what depths you'll sink in order to make the case of defeatism?

And you're doing a great job of stating your case ERflyer. That's your main problem.
