Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2005Purr Request [OT]
OK, I worked up the courage to compose an email asking for a salary review (yesterday). I haven't heard back from my bosses (the chairman of the board and the President/CEO). I think I made a pretty good case for why I need and deserve a raise, but with these people you never can tell what they'll do - I might get fired instead. So purrs would be appreciated that it all works out (at least that I don't get my butt fired!). Since I am the main breadwinner of the family and we're over-run with debt, a raise sure would help us pull our bacon out of the fire! Hugs, CatNipped > OK, I worked up the courage to compose an email asking for a salary > review (yesterday). > CatNipped You've got it! Hope you get the raise! Bosses can be either so wonderful or downright nasty. Through all the years I worked my last job the company went through a lot of changes. My knowledge and abilities continued to increase but it seemed with each management change my reviews went from "walks on water" to "must improve" even though my work product remained consistently high. My raises went from an unprecendented 9% one year down to 2.5%. Yet all my co-workers relied on me and my knowledge to help them out. At the very end, it was (I'm convinced) a personality conflict with the latest manager which resulted in my separation. Jill Of course we can send Purrs your way CatNipped. Money Purrs on there way. Keep in mind that most times no news is good news. ---------------------<snip>---------------------- >So purrs would be appreciated that it all works out (at least that I don't >get my butt fired!).

Having smart, competent people is the cornerstone of a good business. Let's hope they provide a little monetary recognition. Regards and Extra Rumbly Purrs, O J Well I certainly hope you don't get fired!! But as much work as they are getting from you, I don't think they would do that. Purrs for a very positive outcome. > OK, I worked up the courage to compose an email asking for a salary review > (yesterday).

Doesn't it just burn you up when you leave a job and they hire two people to do what you were doing, and pay them more? Annie, who's been there >> Well I certainly hope you don't get fired!!

That wouldn't be legal, would it? I mean, you should at least be allowed to ask, shouldn't you? -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr. I have an alarm clock that's covered in fur!

I > mean, you should at least be allowed to ask, shouldn't you? Thanks all! Yes, I went ahead and asked because this is a (relatively) "small" company and they don't have regularly scheduled performance reviews and raises. I went with the theory of "Don't as, don't get" hoping that the worse that can happen is they say no and I won't be any worse off than I was before. But after I sent the email I got to thinking, well, no, the *worst* that can happen is they get p*ssed off at my cheekiness and fire me (OK, that may just be me being paranoid). Again guys, thanks for the purrs! Hugs, CatNipped > Britta > Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr.

(as if they could) Purrs that you get a raise. Suz > I doubt they'll fire, they'd have to hire more than one person to > replace you.

Sometimes certain servers drop off the original posts so there would be no way someone could tell. Thanks :) Jill Jill the service, (due to AOHell shutting down its news reader) I'm now using makes quoting difficult. I try to say what I'm referring to in the post. I.e Catnipped asking for a raise and concerns about firing. If you read my post it makes sense. Rememer I'm using an unusual method of reading my ng posts. All quotes would be hand tyoed. Plus typing for me is a lot of work. I type with a pencil, one letter at a time, due to my disability. > Jill the service, (due to AOHell shutting down its news reader) I'm now > using makes quoting difficult. Suz, are you still on a Mac? I am too and use news.individual.net with no problem. I can recommend a Mac newsreader if you wanted and give you the exact settings to use news.individual.net, if you can connect to it at all?

Sorry to follow-up my own post - should have made clear that I do not use AOL, but if you want to try accessing USENET via Mozilla, MacSoup, Newswatcher or Outlook Express etc, I could help you with the settings information if you wanted.

A technology program for the disabled will give me a computer. Alas it'll be Windoze (feeling like a sellout). My problem had mor to do with using OS 9 than the fact its a Mac. Monday I'm getting the new 'puter. I use other browsers than aol, aol is just for email and getting online. But after I get used to the new pute that might change. Stay tuned ;o) But thaks so much for the offer. I hope I didn't overresponed Jill, my blood sugar was low (prebreakfast) and I was feeling a bit sorry for myself. Sorry. Suz > I've caved.

I was not aware of your disability. I use OE with "quotefix" which allows me to quote items posted to newsgroups without a problem. Jill Lots of purrs going your way, hoping for a big (well deserved) raise! To answer to Britta, Texas law allows anybody to terminate employment for any (or no) reason. The only exception is that they cannot violate federal anti-discrimination laws. So, as long as they're not discriminating because of your gender, religion, race, or disability, they can fire you for whatever reason they want.

For now, send you purrs to Holly, she needs them a lot more (nothing like news like that to put your own problems into prespective!).
