1. Okay, let me get this straight... |
|
Inflation is 3.3%, my annual raise was 4%, and I upped my 401(k) contribution from 10% to 13%. Early last year they took away our overtime, and in June we went to a 35-hour work week.
Remind me again how good the economy's doing - I'm having a little trouble remembering!
