Reply #37: In the nineties...

[LanternWaste]

In the nineties (and once out of state job I couldn't take for personal reasons), I had a stable and secure job with consistent raises, bonuses, great health benefits, sick-time, Vacations time, PTO, and nearby same-type businesses actively recruiting me.

For the past eight years (with the exception of an 18 month hiatus), I've worked in the same office with the ever present threat of "do more for less" hanging over my head. No sick time, no health insurance, less absolute pay, more responsibility, two promotions yet one raise, with more stress.

Yeah... I'm doing a lot better these days :sarcasm:

I'm hoping Obama can help us bring a little of the nineties back... :)
