I got a surprise bonus and a decent raise. It sure beat the piss out of the salary freeze we've been on for the last two years. At least I stayed employed and I like my job.
The shitty thing that happened was our insurance benefits went to hell. We now have to pay premiums plus 100% of everything out of pocket upfront, until our deductible is met. My family had two surgeries in 2010 and I paid nearly $5000 in premiums and never met our deductible. Our surgeries were all paid for 100% out of my pocket.
