@LibertySpeaks - It's a good piece, LS. I don't have your experiences, but I can definitely see where you are coming from. And I think if it wasn't for his personality, (like it or loathe it), it'd just be back to normal, "boring" policy debates. In this aspect I think he's done the country a great disservice, but perhaps getting more people involved in watching politics will have a net benefit. We'll have to wait and see for that.

@0x56 @LibertySpeaks

Sigh... Would it though? With his policies being done via EO...

And killing our environment for his buddies...

I'm glad your employer actually trickled down last year... Though I'd like to know what happens next time...

And yes, I'm a curmudgeon even with my own employer...

Be well...

@InvaderGzim my employer has trickled down 2017, 18 and 19. this year was the biggest one. @0x56

@LibertySpeaks @InvaderGzim - unfortunately my employer has been cutting down on either raises or bonuses for the last 3 years. Each year we hear "This was our best year yet *by far*! But we didn't hit our targets, so bonuses/raises are going to be slim."

Mine told me "The only thing you can expect here is a .10/hr raise, once a year. "

@0x56 @LibertySpeaks @InvaderGzim

Eh, I've been here 2 years already.
I run a risk every day of getting attacked by my Client. Verbally, Physically, you name it. He beat me with door trim the last time it happened. Before that, it was a broomstick.

@0x56 @LibertySpeaks @InvaderGzim

@Heucuva8 Sounds like you have bigger problems than not getting a raise... damn @0x56 @InvaderGzim

Yeah, I've talked about it before here, but I have to get out of this job. This whole industry really. Don't think I can keep doing this for the pay.

@LibertySpeaks @0x56 @InvaderGzim

I was in Network Administration, but the company used me to get a project linked and then replaced me with their security guard cuz he "took classes in IT" (and they could pay him less).

Now, I'm not sure I even would WANT to work in IT.

I'd LIKE to do something creative. πŸ˜”
