Oh, and while you're at it, why don't you post proof that salaries increased last year? I did a bit more research and found something to the contrary:
Help Desk Workers Suffer 2002 Salary Drop
By Robyn Greenspan and Sharon Gaudin
U.S. help desk workers took it hard in the wallet last year, with the sluggish economy dragging down 2002 salaries across the board, according to a study by the Help Desk Institute (HDI) .
The survey shows that salaries dipped in all service and support-related jobs last year. Directors and senior support managers took the hardest hit, though, with a 7 percent decrease in pay — or an average drop from $82,484 to $76,805. All salaries, according to the institute's researchers, dropped about 3 percent.
I gotta remember your propensity for not being very clear as a way to wiggle out of your claims.
