Wow! Couldn't see that coming...

This might be a bit tricky, but try and give it a go - Think of a number between -1 and 1. Double it. Double it again. Multiply this by 3. What do you have? That's right, nada. And that's what I got in yesterday's salary review (sponsored by Corridors Anonymous, Inc.).

One month ago, maybe two, this would have been the catalyst for me to pack my bags and move on, especially with the bullshit excuses for not giving me a raise - "We don't know where we stand with you, whether we'll get a full year from you..." - er, OK, but what about the last 4 years without a raise? What about the project I'm just about to start which will save you thousands of dollars? Big, fat LAME written all over this...but I don't really care, honestly, it was exactly what I was expecting and when the time comes, I'll remember this (and the rest of the items on my list). I actually smiled as I came out of this meeting, believe it or not.
