Good for you. Now let’s tag-team and start working on the rest of the Freepers here, LOL!
I have a raise coming up in January. I’ve got to crunch some numbers and tell my boss what I’ll ACCEPT, not what she wants to GIVE me...because you’re right; it’ll be eaten up in taxes, anyway. Grrrrrrr!
Amen sister. Our company has a wage freeze, but I still managed to negotiate a uniform for myself— it is one less thing I have to spend my money on and the government can’t tax it, except for the profit it generates to the uniform company.
