Over the last couple months, D2 mentioned a few times that he planned to have a serious talk to HRP about stuff like annual evaluations/pay raises and bonuses. You know, because we work hard and deserve it! Each time, I thought to myself "whatever, dude, I'm just happy to have a job right now" and blew it off. I figured he was, as usual, just trying to act as he thinks a good manager should.
A bonus hit my bank account this week. Complete surprise. Immediately after I saw it, I understood why the Professional Miracle Worker had on several occasions made a production of telling us that he was going to go to bat for us.
