		<description>On the bright side.... I have now got a raise (alhamdulilah for that), and am moving to NY till the end of the year inshallah. Sometimes, waving a jobs page in front of management works. Sometimes! :)</description>

		<description>Wow, your situation is so similar to mine in so many ways, I can only say- Oh man, I read you. * sympathies*

The Management is usually the last one to know anything- so irritating. x-( Its great that at least you&#039;re not letting that de-moralize you.

Re: The Newbie situation- I&#039;m not sure if it applies in your case ....I was the newbie in that very situation once and I realized later (to my extreme discomfort), they had bought me in because I cost half as much as the seniors, could be trained to do the same stuff in 6 months and then they can kick all the &#039;expensive&#039; people off and keep me because I, being the newbie, wasn&#039;t likely to quit without getting at least a promotion to the grade I was handling the responsibilities of. Its office politics at its crappiest. I quit as soon as I realized that, BTW. But I had another opening so I could move and it was easy- sometimes, it isn&#039;t- I understand that.

Damn all cheap management!</description>
