What Happens When Matt Asks For A Raise

So my friend Matt (not the one that works with me) was complaining about not getting enough fundage from his job. He informed me of how he was planning to speak with his manager about it and I gave him my scenario on what to expect… here it is!

[15:36] Matt: This is going to be interesting…
[15:44] Stu: ?
[15:44] Matt: Just sent my boss an email asking him if we could have a discussion regarding my responsibilities.
[15:45] Stu: hahah
[15:45] Matt: Do you think that clarifies what I wanna talk about?
[15:47] Stu: no
[15:47] Stu: *grins*
[15:51] Matt: Cmon seriously
[15:51] Matt: does it? lol
[15:54] Stu: kind of vague
[15:54] Stu: could mean you have too many or too few
[15:54] Stu: could mean (probably) you don’t feel your being compensated for them
[15:55] Matt: ding
[15:55] Matt: lol
[15:55] Stu: could mean your a crackpot and feel like harassing your boss because your bored or last grasp of sanity is in place
[15:55] Matt: lol
[15:55] Stu: knowing that with the economy in the shitter that now is not the time to bitch about your pay and instead of that phatty phatty raise will soon be attempting to collect unemployment but soon realize your boss found a way to beat the system and get it denied for you
[15:56] Stu: turning you into a raging alcoholic born from depression, a will that has been sucked out of you by corporate america, and a lack of money to do anything fun with your sudden decrease in fundage
[15:56] Matt: Subconsciously I must want to get fired and play MMOs all day.
[15:56] Matt: Too late to turn back now after saying that though lol
[15:57] Stu: soon the car is up for sale since your broke.. buying the cheapest booze you can to have it last longer… the stench of it seeps into your poors and between that and the lack of income or mobility aside from a broken down bike with a flat tire you have no way to aquire a new source of income
[15:58] Stu: finally those funds go away too and you realize you’ve fallen in with a bad crowd.. your into drugs.. no job.. no future… you start stealing to feed the addiction.. chasing that high that is the only thing left getting you out of bed each morning
[15:59] Stu: you meet a girl in this drug hazed world you’ve found yourself in.. you think your in love.. you think she’s your savior .. soon you realize she’s even worse off than you when you realize you’ve in a tub of ice with your kidney gone
[16:00] Matt: lol how bored are you right now sir?
[16:01] Stu: i actually did all of that while taking 3 calls
[16:03] Matt: terrible
[16:03] Stu: i was entertained
[16:34] Stu: ahh work is over
[16:34] Stu: 1 hour to kill until i go see Inglourious Basterds
[16:34] Matt: die
[16:34] Matt: Damn, I want to see that

I swear I don’t have too much time at work.
