It means find another occupation, this one you are not obviously excelling in, or swallow your arrogance and enjoy your family and just get the paycheck - God wants your focus to be family, not career.

f. I have a goal to maintain expenses on the P&L to XX% of revenue, and if I do I get a bonus and stock options.

a) Your boss is too stupid to know what’s really going on elsewhere in the company.
b) Your boss is lying to your face.
c) Your boss doesn’t have enough influence to get you a raise.
d) Your boss can’t be bothered to get you a raise.


And when all is said and done, he/she will still be the boss.

The only way I ever goat a decent raise was getting a new job. That is the only time you can really negotiate a wage. I will take a low ball offer just to get a pay check while actively seeking a new job. it is a dog eat dog world.

I remember our VP’s announced that there would be no Christmas party this year because profits were down. We would all have to sacrifice...blah..blah.
Later I saw them at a very ritzy restaurant with their spouses for a Christmas party.
Liberals have no moral issue with lying so long as they think they mean well. They are protecting the company.

B an D are the most common ones for me.

Another should be “I wasn’t bowed to and worshipped enough by you.” The state government way.

A common attitude out there in HR land is that the purpose of the company is to pay people what they would like to be paid, and to ensure that everyone is provided with all of the benefits that they deserve. These people are usually shocked when they discover that the perfect social welfare company is going out of business.

Is lying to your face worse than lying behind it?

I had a boss that told everyone we were getting across the board 10% pay cuts. Come to find out he and his wife gave themselves huge raises so payroll stayed the same.

You didn’t work at all hard this year and so you are not getting a raise.

What about the question that comes up when you’ve been working in one area of the company for five years, where they ask you “where do you see yourself in the next five years”.
That area of the company has work for that long, and you’ve been with the company for 22 years.
