Well for starters I use PI/m for the meeting i have to attend every friday and its funny how a room full of people will hang on your every word..ive managed to get my dept more operating capital then the other dept heads combined..and as far as personal gain when reviews came up and my boss said its been a tough year and a 4% raise is all we can part with i told him to guess again and got up to leave..he stopped me and said lets discuss this over lunch and drinks..by the time we returned i had a 10% raise and a quarterly bonus..so phero use or not i know i would of never been so bold as to push the issue before but the gamble worked and i\'m ahead of the game!
