that's pretty shit, especially as you were thinking of other people when asking for a raise. But still, at least you do have a job; just show your boss you deserve a raise.

I know the feeling. I once complained to my boss about how unfair the promotions were being dished out (only 1 per team), when in fact the guy getting the promotion was one of the newest team members and was only getting the job because he was the team leaders bitch. And if he was going to promote anyone he should look at some of the people that had been with the company longer and been more consistent (meaning myself obviously). So 2 people who had been there longer than me got promoted. When I questioned the boss about this he thought that's who I was talking about.

ohhh the old catch 22, if you want it you have to ask for it, but if you ask for it you can't have it.

"Last week, I had been the one who asked" In proper English it would have been "I was the one"... Lol 12, maybe they deserved it more than you did (they were longer...). But yes, "i have a job, fml".. I'm still looking for one myself..

Took one for the team.

the reason you didnt get one was cause you asked
