cellboyEvery January, our company does a "Kick Off" motivational thing. Speakers, games, food, etc. A whole day thing
1. 2 years ago, it was at the San Francisco Zoo = FUN!
2. Last year it was at Pac Bell Park=FUN!!!
3. This year, it is at the Metreon in San Francisco = FUN??????
Our corporate office just called
1. The "Kick Off" has been canceled. In lieu of economic conditions, and in consideration of the building owners who pay for this (approximately 400 employees x $250 = $100,000 ; and that's a minimum estimate)
2. They are also announced a freeze on salary increases for 2009. Or at least for now.
LOL! The salary increases are 2-4%. So after taxes, ain't much anyway :(
3. Be happy that I am still working.
