I Choose to See The Glass Half Full

[rgcraig]

This morning we received word from corporate that there will be no merit increases for FY10 (our fiscal year begins in May). Also, the Executive Committee has decided to take a 5% pay decrease.

I'm just happy to have a job making the same thing I have for the past year.

I'm sure others will see the glass half empty, but why?

Shouldn't we be motivated and not unmotivated? I know I am. Knowing that layoffs could have been an option and still could be in the future wouldn't it be best to do your best now more than ever so that you are more valuable?

I'm just thankful for my job and want to help others see the bright side of this.
