Let's see, I am supposed to increase my production, decrease my hours, initiate new product lines, all while getting a very small raise? And I am NO WHERE NEAR the 300,000 mark.

It took MANY HRS of OT to even get close to 45,000.

I am very grateful that I am employed in the IT field. But I can assure you I feel NO SYMPATHY for the poor CIOS. As stated earlier, they have NO CLUE what is happening within their depts and from what I have seen, are RARELY on the front line when dealing with major issues.
