Send/Receave Text from a Computer

that could work, but our email is pretty archaic. we just have 10 emails setup thru GoDaddy that we got for the website, we ran out of them so they just created GMails for people who don't need it as much (yeah I know...I'm the new guy, trying to bring things into the 21st century). also for...

cost of living adjustment

I agree prolly not going anywhere. Company isn't huge, but big enough. My boss answers to the VP of operations who would have enough pull to get something happening. And he likes me, and frankly in work with him more than my immediate supervisor since I manger one of his "baby's" (account he...

cost of living adjustment

I'm more shooting for 2-5% over where I'm at now, and letting them know I'm open to any new opportunities to justify the raise. The cost of living metric was just one metric I was going to include. There are several metrics where I can show I made the company quite of bit of revenue, that is...

cost of living adjustment

I've started looking around a bit. I don't hate my job though. And not sure if its worth the risk moving from a very secure job to an unknown situation. Just kinda want to see if I can get a bit closer to what I'm worth. Starting a family soon and may need to live on my income alone for awhile

I'm not bitching. But I hired in at a low rate because they promised Merritt and cost of living raises. Perfect reviews over 3 years and a combined total of a 5.5% raise. And my workload and resposiblity has dramatically changed. And the CPI index was exactly what I needed. Based on that I...

cost of living adjustment

Just had my yearly review, another near perfect one, and another crappy raise of 2%. My boss was just the messenger of course and he encouraged me to write a letter to send up the chain of command. Anyone know where I can find the cost of living increases over the past few years? Tried...

Do Dyson vacuums live up to the hype?

Overrated, and overpriced. The way to go is an old style high quality baged vacume. I've used the Hoover Platnum, and currently own a Orek Graphite, they look boring and don't have many fancy bells and whistles, but they work, they are simple and easy to maintain and will last for YEARS.
