Yup and every month we dick around asking more than par for retention bonuses that loss will mount. They are down tens of thousands theyll never get back, i guess the goal now is to see how long we can keep that up for.

Sure would be nice to get them something, even 21 bucks an hour to help that 401k out. It's ok, it's only their retirement. You guys hold out for a 25$ an hour raise or better because no one here wants to admit their pay is more than the rates, and pretend it's a paycut. Maybe you get it. Maybe you get nothing and the retention expires. Maybe that flow is just around the corner with a free ice cream flavor of your choosing with the waffle cone.
