Dirtbags that sideswipe your car, then take of like the yellow bellied, spineless weasel that they are!

Not at all. Any sensible management will recognise the employees who add most value and contribution to the company, and reward or otherwise encourage these employees to stay with the company.

I agree with everything that you said. However, I work my A$$ Off at my job as a Facilities Administrator/Procurement Specialist/IT Assistant...and I haven't gotten a raise in almost 4 years.

But if you get a raise, that's less money in the rich people's pockets! You can't possibly be that selfish, can you?

When I am being paid only about 1/2 of the work I do...Yes...Yes I can be that selfish! [emoji6]

4 years without a pay rise is too long.
If you go to the management and ask for a pay rise, citing all the good work you do, and value you add to the company, and they still refuse to give you one, it's time to find a more reasonable employer.

Which is why this cat is looking for another job.

Dngrswife just authorized me to apply for some of those technical jobs that would send me on overseas deployments: at twice what I'm making now, I could afford a room somewhere near the workplace and still maintain the leeches in the style they are used to, plus I won't have to hear them complain about it all...

Sounds like a win-win

Except for the part where I have to be away from my lady for months at a time...

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, they say.

Dngrsone · Jan 20, 2017

Well, today's job-search on company had netted me a dozen hits.

This may take me a while, if I want to apply to all of them...

Why not kick some of the birds out of the nest? Time to see if they can fly on their own. Easier said than done, though, I realize that.

Dngrswife won't allow it...

I'm delighted to hear that a UK rail commuter has successfully been refunded half the cost of his rail season ticket, due to the poor service he received. I hope this opens the floodgates for more claims, because quite honestly, the rail service in the UK is generally very poorly run, and very expensive for passengers.

Having a nice peaceful place to live when suddenly a wild neighbor moves in and their subwoofer shakes your walls.

Go away!

Ooh, you've met my daughter then...

I'm kidding: she's still disturbing my sleep on a nightly basis.

The Vulcan's brother tried that to get a family of skunks to move out from under his house. Didn't work.

I have no friends.

Not strictly true, of course: I have you, my imaginary friends who all live inside my computer/phone, and a couple coworkers that I can complain about aspects of my miserable existence, but no one who shares all (or even most) of my interests and knowledge-base.

Clementine_3 · Jan 22, 2017

I hate to admit it but since it's right there in writing I can't say the same isn't true for me. The kid comes closest to sharing my interests but not really. We have a lot of the same but he's far, far away and all grown up and doing his own thing. Oh. He's coming for a visit mid-week!! Yay!!

You're welcome at my place for a coffee and a chat any time. That's if you're ever in the UK.

Strange, I could probably apply that to most people I know.

..... Ok then, everyone on this page can have one.

Dngrsone · Jan 22, 2017

Thanks for the invites, guys... If I'm ever scheduled for a trip to the UK, I'll be sure to post it on this site...

@LV426 have a little cogitum interruptus there (forgive my pseudo-Latin)?

Amen. All my friends are anonymous people on forums. That and Facebook people I either haven't seen in years or have never met in person at all.

I'm a girl who wants to talk about cars, electronics, politics, and a wide variety of other boring topics. [emoji854]
