While no raise is akin to having your real income reduced by inflation, what everybody is trying to point out is that ultimately wage is not the be-all-end-all.
I know that RJs living siatuation is likely to change in the next 8 months.. which, were he to change jobs, would likely mean a very short tenure with at the new office. Among other things, it wouldn't look so hot on his resume.
"Why were you only at this office for 8 months?"
"I moved."
"Were you planning on moving prior?"
"Yes"
"So why did you change jobs so shortly before hand?"
"They weren't paying me enuogh."
Not necessarily the guy I'd want to hire. There are a myriad of other reasons not to change, as well. Mikey is a great example. Due to non-performance related factors, I didn't receive a raise last year, and I'm quite happy I stayed within the company. Money is not the only reason to make one choice over another... and even if it is for you, your view is not Righter than anybody else's.

When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.
