Well done McGreaser i could not have put it better myself!!!
This whole thread is a waste of time, anyone who has been here long enough will realise by now that you will only get what they want to give you, and that will be as little as possible.
Ask yourself why? because it's the culture of the people you work for.
Get as much out of you for as little in return. You might say that's the culture of most companies these days, yes they might want their "pound of flesh" but they still pay for it.
So the fact of the matter is, we will get what we get and that is it, so don't go out and buy that new car just yet. Wait and see because you just don't know, no body who matters does, not yet.
So I heard anyway...........................
