When I joined this lovely company that I work for(a very large Cable company), my compensation consisted of a salary and an incentive plan. Unfortunately, 2 yeras after I joined the company,Wall Street decided it was tired of giving telecom and cable companies capital....so...the incentive plans and raises were "temporarily suspended"..and I lost about 20% of my compensation.
(I should add here, that I am also an ex-MCI employee, who lost her shirt in the Worldcom debacle...by shirt I mean 7 years of 401K, my pension, and stock, totalling close to $200K! It was a bad financial year...and also the year my husband got laid off, and little Melanie was born. Bernie gets 25 years, and I have to work for at least another 25 years to get back what I lost!
BIG NEWS from Wall Street this week and yippee yay!! Long time coming, but YES! I am getting my dough.
Now for the pathetic part...do I get to buy a new car? NO! Do I get to buy some fancy clothes? NO. Why you ask? I DON'T FUCKING KNOW! I have waited 3 years for this money, and I want to do something "fun" with it. As someone here said "put it in the Jamie slush fund" C'mon you WOHM's, you know how it is...whats their's is ours, and what's mine is mine! ;-)
