If a person has a different "mindset" than a 9-5 job and works from home, there is no need for a boss, raise, or any of those things. I have worked from home for the last 5 years in my several online businesses and live extremely comfortable with no alarm clock to answer to. It amazes me that people choose to worry about earning a living when there is an alternative THAT WORKS!

I agree with rddc1947. A job is a job is a job. Before you get that job you should see what the incentives are. Health insurance? 401K? Regular pay raises? Instead of jumping on a job and then being unhappy later on. My husband has had only about 4 raises at his job that he's been at for the past 8 years. However, he gets big bonus checks. He gets a FREE big lunch everyday. He gets to travel to different shows for the company with accommodations paid. Boss man pays for at least one or two luxurious meals while at shows. He's sometimes unhappy about his job but then he remembers the bonuses and travel he gets to do, which in turn he SMILES that he's a lucky man.

I agree w/ the previous comment 100%!!! I worked for the same company for 14 yrs.... hadn't had a raise in 7 yrs .... then a British company bought my company out, wanted me to do MORE work w/out an increase inpay .... and then wanted me to be a "robot" to boot!! I quit, hoping that I would get UEC due to the fact that a supervisor came in & ranked me out infront of my own customers & those of the casino. I was denied comp. even tho it was a hostile environment! Oh yeah ... my rate of pay? a lousy $9.85/hr for a long time employee!!! All I want now is a job or the UEC that SHOULD have been paid!!

Quit griping about your wages & appreciate the fact you atleast have a job.There are alot of people who would love to have your job & a paycheck. What ingrates you are.
