With the gruesome wonderful state of our economy today. I’m curious about one thing.

My salary is not increasing, but actually frozen in its current state due to ‘the economy’.

There is currently an increase in my charges for several services I utilize in my daily living. Everything from utilities all the way up to school tuition is raising their rates due to ‘the economy’.

Yet, there is no actual CHANGE, or IMPROVEMENT in these services provided?

How can someone ask to be paid more money this year for services that apparently haven’t changed since last year? No additional services, no improvements?

“I’m providing you the same product, but you need to give me more money because of these hard times”

How is that possible?

What am I missing here?

How does this economy explain that one?

Can I take that pitch to my employer?

“I’m sorry, you want me to care for more patients per nurse? I think you’re going to have to pay me extra”

Things that make you go hmm…
