How do you take it when...

April fool's day is my employment anniversary :ph34r:

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

...your boss notifies you that you are getting a raise on April fool's Day?



Depends on how large it is. If it's within reason ... I'd think it was probably true. If the boss told me my salary was being doubled... I'd probably laugh. :D

With a 10% "raise" I'd think: Finally, my pay is back to where it was before they cut it last year. May 1, 2009 - three years worth of "cost-of-living" increases were magically erased from the entire staff's payroll - the very day I returned to work after six months of recovering subsequent to a 12-day hospital stay. So in my case, I wouldn't exactly call it a raise.

The same way Divot does . . . Right up the poop chute . . .
