    You’re job is more important, IMHO. However, we shouldn’t be putting down the victories of others. They work hard, and not that often. It’s a dangerous sport that only exists for men to drool over. They deserve the raise they got.

    And you deserve a much needed pay increase as well. It may feel unfair that they got it before you, but they worked very hard towards getting that pay raise. If I had to wager a bet, I would make the assumption that you haven’t.

      I push people in wheelchairs that are sometimes 600lbs each, two at time, for 16 hours a day, 6 days a week.

      You couldn’t last an hour doing what I do before you tore muscles, or pulled your back. But you want to say I don’t work hard?

        He was asking you if you worked toward obtaining a raise in your current job… Your answer is needlessly agressive, and irrelevent to what is actually written.

        I work in construction but okay man.

        Also pushing lots of weight has nothing to do with trying to better your work situation.

        I actually change my mind. Everyone you work with deserves a pay raise, not you. They have to be really at self peace to work with you and not eat lead when they get home.
