Inflation is a BEOTCH

[Angry Inch]

I get a raise for 4.5%, putting me at $7.35 an hour; and, inflation is 4.6% this year. So, I'm getting paid less for being my boss' "#1 man".

I don't know anywhere you can live on $7.35/hr...except with someone who pays the bills.
Time to find a new job, bud. Ask around here...I'm sure someone can hook you up.

Damn I pay $15 to start for unskilled labor...

[Angry Inch]

LOL.....everything is true except the hourly. The point is, I'm getting 0.1% less this year for being a top performer.

sounds like you need to tell the boss to shove it and get another job. Im not sure what I make an hour since im straight commish, but I know damn well it wouldnt pay the house, boat, car, truck, rail, trailer, and credit card payments!! at 7 something an hour.
