>just stared at me and collected their 2%
Not realizing that 2% doesn't even keep up with inflation and they're effectively getting a pay cut year over year.
I used to work in finance until they closed our local office and I was laid off a few years ago. I went back and looked at my salary history. I was making considerably less in real dollars at the point when I was laid off than I did 15 years prior.

I worked in finance for about 30 years.
I can characterize a banker's view of their personnel with one statement: "employees are on the liability side of the balance sheet."

Thank you.
Of course, I was promptly forced to recreate the position with my own hands to really figure out what was going on. The diagrams were quite helpful.

Welp, that's a fire hazard. The connection should be made in a box.
