Perhaps the biggest insult in regards to my recent raise, was HR’s response to my well thought out request that my tiny pay increase be reconsidered.  To paraphrase, “I shouldn’t be concerned only with my pay, but should work hard also for the satisfaction of a job well done.”

Let me tell you something…I am quite satisfied with myself.  In fact, I verge on being downright egotistical sometimes.  If I want to feel good about myself, I’ll do something I actually give a shit about.  There is only one reason I come to work each day, though:  A fucking paycheck.  All the company wants out of this relationship is money, yet I’m just supposed to be happy with good feelings?

THOSE DON’T PAY MY FUCKING BILLS!
