In lieu of a rate increase the company I work for opted, this year, to give me a bonus. I thought that was great. I've been there ten years and am at the top of my pay-scale. I work hard and go above and beyond my job description on a daily basis. Today I got said bonus. It was attached to the rest of my paycheque. The government got about 500 extra dollars, while my pay was only an extra 250 or so. That is my bonus for the entire year. 250 bucks. So congratulations on all the hard work, government. You earned it! Can't wait to pay you some more next march! And to the company I work for, let's call them Lots of Drugs, maybe you should consider cutting a cheque to employees when giving them a "bonus" so they actually see some of that money you so generously dispense when we receive a positive performance evaluation. Or really why bother at all? —So glad I am finally going back to school
