Funny, but not funny cartoon from CartoonStock.com -
The TRUTH about pay raises at many corporations."That $20 paycheck deduction is for new benefits - like the $10 raise you just got."
ARGH. You can't put enough spin on that statement to make it look pretty!
Has anyone experienced a similar situation where you received a "raise" and then an increase in benefit costs that completely vaporized the raise and then some?

I'd have to say that while the cartoon is funny it is also not funny because it is SO true for many folks.
I am VERY fortunate in that the only tangible benefit (other than my pay, of course, and my "401-k") I receive is health-care which is funded 100% by my employer.

Yes the disability is taxed to the employee if they have to use it. I've been looking for the article without any luck yet. It was quite interesting.
