I'd like more money.  My title is very representative of what I do, but my raise was much smaller than I (and my immediate supervisor) had hoped for.  I was very disappointed in July when raises came through.  Traditionally this department has been more generous than the department I worked in for 25 years, so I was looking forward to bigger and better things monetarily.  While I got a nice increase when I made the initial move last year, my raise this year was no larger than in previous years in the other department.

Just my luck that at the same time I came, we also got a new head honcho in the department.  Turns out that he is a skinflint with the staff while heaping piles on the bosses.  My supervisor argued with him until she was blue in the face but said he absolutely would not budge.  She was quite embarrassed.  Sigh... what can you do...
