Bottom Liners by Eric and Bill Teitelbaum for March 25, 2024

A similar type of excuse my employer gave a co-worker for not raising their salary.

He should reply: “I’ll take that chance.”

I’ve got good headache meds…

You mean you don’t want me to support those welfare states that get more than they put in?

Go ahead and make it a huge raise and you can enjoy the tax breaks you’ll get. Give me enough to place yourself in a lower bracket.

Fix the tax code. It doesn’t need to be 78,000 pages. Then again, the government funding bill that was just over 1000 pages long only had 1 day to be read and voted on.

How considerate and caring the boss is.

2024 Fortune Survey—-Almost half of employers surveyed are planning to give out raises, but what workers really want is “better benefits”Around 59% of workers surveyed are willing to give up some salary in order to get better healthcare access.

“I’ll add the amount of your raise to my yearly bonus instead, and “trickle some down” on you in December."

Another boss faced with greens fees being increased!

That happened to me once. The only thing I got to do with the extra money was pay more taxes.

No problem, I’ve got plenty of aspirin.
