  "won't raise PAY"

  Well, they don't need to...your/their benefits are out of the stratosphere. And in an inflationary environment...that's all that you should be looking at really. Money is worth less and less...but your health insurance benefits, plus whatever else you get to put in your goody bags.. cell service? internet? pcs/laptops? I can't even begin to guess, but I suspect that if I went back into the Wayback Machine, I could find a few articles about the lavish perks....which at the time everyone was gloating over should still be around. Not all of a sudden, everybody is whining and pretending to be Oliver Twist? On six figures??? REALLY????
