One of the few perks of my government job was when the folks back at headquarters in Washington D.C. decided that all GS-11s (like me) performing my function would be raised to GS-12s with a whopping pay increase. You should have seen the look on my boss’s face. And nothing he could do about it.
Getting the same pay for all these years is not keeping up with the cost of living. Even cost of living increases don’t keep up with the cost of living.
May the boss walk under a piano as it is being lifted above him on the sidewalk and the ropes break. sorry …. had to say that. I don’t want the piano scratched.
“Because Boss you are an intelligent man that wants to keep his employees happy so that they can continue to produce more of the best tea cozies manufactured anywhere on earth and that I, as a leader of this team that made record sales, I should be recognized for my efforts and rewarded, rewarded I say, along with my team by an increase in pay. Did I forget to mention that you are also handsome?” Is what I would recommend him saying. That, I am sure might make the Boss laugh himself to death. Go down swinging I always say……

Does the Chief know Mr Dithers from Blondie ? Poor Brutus and Dagwood are always being taunted with a raise and then disappointed ☹️
