Peana, I don't think you're spoilt at all.  I completely understand, since my DH is in the same position--he's a coffee roaster with a small company, and has to literally threaten to quit before they will agree to any time off for him.

Back to the topic, I am also paid what I am work, and the LARGE corporation that employs me also has EXCELLENT benefits.  Like you, there is a corporation limit as to how much of a raise I get each year. (However, bossie is VERY generous with Christmas, birthday and APW goodies, in a kind of "compensation" for the raise restriction).  

We do have company-wide performance awards, tied to how we meet/exceed our EPS.  Given the sorry state of the financial markets over the past 2 years, though, that bonus has not happened.

To keep my value, I read everything I can get my hands on, so I can keep abreast of the financial markets.  I constantly browse our company intranet, and keep tabs on all the new information/equipment/processes/procedures, so I can do my job effectively and efficiently.  I network like a madwoman, so I have contacts to help me continue to make my bossie's work life easier.   I do keep brushed up on the MS office pack, but that is really not a large part of my job with this boss.
