That is bad timing. My annual review and pay raise landed on the same day 10% of the employees at my company were getting laid off. Needless to say, my raise was less than expected.
Its Ok with me though, I didn't really need a big pay raise and I avoided a layoff. If this economy crashes, which I pretty much accept it will, I'm prepared to weather the storm and come out unscathed. Bring it on, I say. No bailouts!
