    Quitting job
    Good morning men - I am considering quitting my job on the spot today.

    Just informed there will probably be no raise, no pay bump this year.

    I been working 80 hour weeks trying to get a bump. Very pissed off. I am thinking if I quit, it will motivate me to make better picks in football and I will have more time to cap.

    Fukk the man

      Very few people make decent money from gambling and those who do, definitely don't "cap".

      Keep your job until you have another one lined up

            Nothing can motivate one to "cap" better. It isn't a sporting event.

            Like Shari said, don't jump till you have another ship to go to, else you end up like Forsberg or Emily. Masterbating and hating

              You should be thankful to have a job, pal. There are millions of Americans (yes, ones that actually want to work) that can't find a job. Cities and towns have put pay freezes on cops, firefighters, and teachers...so don't think you're the only one not getting a raise. It's a shit economy right now, do the smart thing and keep going to work.

                    if you are working 80hrs a week, you should be making damn good money in overtime etc....if you are on salary and arent being compensated for all the overtime, i would cut 50hrs out of that 80 and either get a 2nd job or just sit back and do as little as possible...as others said, if you quit, you wont get unemployment and gambling more wont be the best thing, thats a guarantee

                        Never understood the sense of entitlement when it comes to raises each year... look around... be glad you have a job, and be glad you aren't being told you are taking a reduction in pay. I know many people who have lost 5% in the last few years

                              You dont get raises by busting your ass for the raise. You get raises by busting your ass all the time, whether you're up for a raise or not.

                              I dont get raises every year, and dont expect them. I don't work hard.

                                  Hard work means nothing as far as getting a raise

                                  It's who you know most of ths time and playing the game

                                        And good to hear you've changed your mind Griz. Better to have a healthy bank balance and be a bit pissed off once in awhile than to be broke and pissed off all the time.

                                          I swear this forum is for people with low self esteem.... Fade the public, join the occult, and learn not to be like "the rest of them" . This cats on forever autofade.

                                            Keep your day job buddy, and go to work !!! Gambling should be treated as a hobby and not a career.

                                                        yup, after further discussion with boss, he explained how it is likely no one is getting anything
                                                        he did say, keep it up and expect that when they DO give shit out, to be compensated.
                                                        what the hell can you do except nose to the grindstone...

                                                              Road construction workers work around that many hours a week. They dont bitch about it either, they would work as much as possible. Getting paid about 40$ an hour in overtime isn't something to complain about.

Also, some people working over 40 hours a week (me) produce better quality work than some schmuck who only wants to work 35 a week (you)

                                                                      Also we work globally. So as the clock turns, there is always a new days worth of work. Example: 5am we are working Europe. By the end of the normal work day, we are working Asia. Comprende?
