You all continue to crack me up.
Smacks of insecurity of ones self worth to have to make excuses in asking for a pay raise.
Just ask for it because you want it.....and stop with the 'poor us' song.
To approach the other side with cries of being 'forced' to work while you are in a 3%er-1%er paid occupation is guaranteed to get them laughing behind your back....if not outright to your face.
Nobody in management feels sorry for you...or thinks you are somehow being abused in a job you asked for, and compensates you so well.
So go ahead and ask for the $$ because you want it and are worth it.....and let it price itself into the pwa cost to management.
I don’t think anyone has said “poor me.” Holiday pay was suggested. You argued against it. Reasons were given. You argued against them by saying they were false cover ups of the real reason. Now you have stopped arguing against it (did checklistmonkey influence you?) and have stuck with the money grab accusation. To top it all off, now we are just whiny, woe-is-me types.
No one asked for managements sympathy, and you’re the only one saying abuse. Any more false accusations?
