Look around at all the people working for your company and thats spreading the wealth. If your not happy with your job and pay then move on to another company or start your own business.

Yes I do own my own business and have 3 full time employee's and myself. I also have 2 other independent sales people who specialize in working with bussness of 50 or more employees to meet their needs. Looking at your numbers showing your raises it looks like you have received about a 15% pay increase over the 5 years which does not sound that bad compaired to what others have gone through. Companies have also been down sizing long before Bush took off and deregulation has nothing to do with them down sizing.

Well shit. The one Obama nominee I really liked.

I do hope Kathleen Sebelius gets HHS. She's a family friend.

Shouldn't you clear up what you expect and want from a job before you accept it? Obama really needs to hire competent people to help him hire competent people.
