You know what I regret?

Saying screw it and chowing down on tuna fish at 7:30 AM.

Whenever it comes to expectations, I remember some words a boss of mine said some 20 years ago at my yearly performance review.

"Liane, I received nothing but rave reviews of your performance at [customer]. Truly exceptional reviews and accolades. Really exceeding expectations. But I expected you to exceed my expectations, so really you only met my expectations. And since I expected you to exceed my expectations but you only met my expectations, technically you did not meet my expectations."

And then later that week he bought a second Mercedes with all the money he didn't give out in raises and bonuses.

Man, please, please don't just write giant walls of text in sentence fragments with no capitalization. It's really hard to read.

I've heard of people not getting salary increases because they don't have 5 years' experience with software that was less than 2 years old...nobody had 5 years experience with it.

Catch 22!

Because they were lazy and didn't pull 2 years of triple overtime unpaid, no doubt.

I worked for a computer manufacturing company that went bankrupt. (Well two, but the second went bankrupt after I left.) The president and owner of the company managed to get himself listed as the first secured creditor by registering the $2M of personal money that he put in. When everything went to hell he got everything. The bank got most of theirs. The people who sold him the equipment and product got nothing. most of the employees got nothing. He still had his shiny new BMW, that he had bought just weeks before.
