Have you carried out a successful con? Perhaps you hustled a few quid off a stranger, or defrauded a multi-national company. Or have you been taken for the wide-eyed, naive rube that you are?

I'm being conned at work(then again who isn't) and they want me to sign a shiny new contract for a fractional raise in wages, and a whole lot more work.
So they want me to work harder and longer for a 1.7% raise, and then meet and exceed all manner of retarded targets, along with proof by way of fancy powerpoint presentations.
They're also telling me to work harder, do more stuff and telling me they're going to pay me even more when i can prove to them i'm doing all that new stuff.
More like dangling the carrot in front of the donkey.
Well bollocks to you, i'm off after x-mas probably...along with it seems half of the other managers who feel the same.
That's not including two or three who have left already or are in the process of leaving.
Penny pinching c*nts.

Inflation!Point out that 1.7% is less than inflation and therefore they're offering you a pay cut when compared with the cost of living, never mind any increased hours they require.
