anyone ever expect to get a notice of rates going down?

The rates can't go down, because the economy keeps inflating.
The inflation rate may be slow, 1% to 5% per year, but it is
inflating none the less.

Everyone wants their salaries to keep rising, so ...


yeah thats the ticket. salaries are skyrocketing so fast its causing
inflation.....

voted for bush too, did ya?

Whether or not I voted for Bush is of course, immaterial. Do you
recall the level of inflation that existed when Carter was president?
How about the relative gas prices? Oh, probably not, you weren't born yet.

It is rare for a person's wages to go down.

Bull**** -- to the extent that wages don't rise with
inflation, they're going down. Except for the employees at the top,
whose wages go up even as the company goes down the toilet.

There's also the well-known model of "encouraging the
employees to work another 10% of hours per week. Of course it's
voluntary, but guess what -- it'll be "noticed" the next time the
paltry "raise" comes around.

They become such spiteful
unhappy campers when that happens that companies would rather lay them
off than lower their wages.
