Well we're all still the worker bees, McCann. I'd guess the better question would be to ask our respective agencies and C-suite how much money they gave to charities and if they gave up their holiday bonuses. Assuming most would have to answer 1) not much if anything 2) hell no. Perspectives like yours only help corporations and the most elite, while keeping ordinary people down. Yes, we're lucky to have jobs. Doesn't mean we all can't strive for more or, gasp, hope to be rewarded and recognized for going above and beyond.

I don't know McCann 1 - I actually did work in social services for underserved populations for years before transitioning to this industry. So probably actually worked to make a difference in the lives of others rather than just sounding like a self-righteous blowhard about it.

Hi guys, I got an offer from x and i discussed that with my current. At 1st current said they can only give 30% increment.

I really wanted to stay here so I said okay to current. Then now hr called me and said they are matching the offer(no vp). What should I make out of it? What made them change their mind?
