    You could also try sitting indian style in the middle of the newsroom and blasting away at what you feel is the former SE's overbloated ME salary, but I think that only works in professional wrestling.

    Seems like the subject is squeezing in an awful lot of work in 40 hours.

    Or, is the subject working for free? And if the subject is, then why the fuck isn't the subject getting paid for his overtime? If the subject wants to work that many hours, then take a second job.

    10-4 to that.

    FYI, a "dilemma" is a situation where you are forced with two or more undesirable choices. Or a perplexing situation.

    I don't see this as a dilemma. You either keep working for $22K without making a peep, ask about a raise or look for another job.

    Sounds like all three are undesirable to the subject.

    I guess you could crawl under a rock. Or go to law school.

    Ye gods, $22K? Bless your heart ... Do you really want to be in journalism that badly?

    Well, it beats making sandwiches for $7 an hour at Subway ... unless you get free food.

    Never mind. It probably doesn't beat Subway.

    When "subject" essentially had the duties doubled with the non-sports things, that would have been a good time for "subject" to talk about a raise, i.e. "I am willing to take on more, but there needs to be a raise involved with that." It sounds like that didn't happen. Why would the company take pity now on the "subject?" Just because he won awards? Sorry, I don't see that happening.
