A couple of years ago, my company didn’t give anybody raises – not even cost of living. While that happens a lot across the board, this place would send company wide emails about how times are tight and money’s not there for raises only to have meetings discussing how everything was on-track and revenues are up and comparable to prior years. Then you see your partner go buy himself a Porsche 911 Turbo on a whim …. Needless to say, I expensed everything, I was “getting mine” back.
