I'm noting that we're having a potluck in honour of all our secretaries today.
I'm hoping your secretary gets lucky and wins the pot

I'm noting that pay is generally proportionate to responsibility... not the amount of work one does.

Also, I'm willing to bet that your company's higher ups don't go out of their way to remind you that they don't want you working for them unless you're a contractor. I'm also willing to bet that if you work for them for 4 1/2 years, you'll get more than a 2% raise (measured against inflation, I've actually lost about 5% of my salary in 4 1/2 years).

I'm not sure why.


I think it's great that your company actually shows some appreciation for what you and your co-workers do. Mine doesn't, and the higher ups go out of their way to remind us that the only people that matter in this company are the top executives and expendable contractors.
