Pretty funny misunderstanding, though!
Yeah, I'm glad I didn't open my mouth before he kept talking.

I'm with Sam here. If all the company can afford is 0.1% raise, keep it. Apparently the shareholders need it more than I do.

The no raises in 2 years part is definitely possible with today's economy, the ASA 30K was a joke, as explained in a later post.

Not giving raises for ONE year is an idiotic management decision. Not giving raises for TWO years should result in a stockholder revolt, but it may be too late.

I find it hard to believe that someone with credentials wouldnt get a raise for 2 years.
