You poor devil! What an insult! In what kind of industry do they try to placate you with such measly raises?

Banking. I had paid holidays. After 28 years on the job I had 5 weeks vacation. There was free medical, matching 401(k), great insurance benefits, nice working environments and more.

But I was at the top of my paygrade. That and the 1 1/2 hour each way drive was too much.
