I would be hella pissed if you've been promised a raise for two years and never gotten it.

good points. thanks for pointing that out.
as far as the raise goes, I was close to walking out without a job prospect. 2 years ago, during evaluation time, my main boss called me in and we went over my evaluation and she wrote on it to give me X amount of dollars. then she found out she was going to make partner so she didn't want to risk that so she kind of dropped the ball on it and I never got it. then, this past year when I asked about it again I was verbally told it would be taken care of and I got about half of what I got last year (I was like, wtf? they were so embarassed, the runners delivered it. they were too ashamed to do it face to face; that's how bad it was). I even told them I'd cut off my Treo (the email/cell phone thing) if I didn't get a raise. I calculated I had spent $900 out of my own pocket over the year to be available to the firm at all times. So, when I didn't get it, I cut that bitch off. I miss it though.
I just think it's ****ty to do that...especially to someone as dedicated and hard-working as me. Sheesh. I mean, I keep deep, dark secrets for this woman.
