Way way back in the stone ages (mid 1970s) when I was still at my very first job as a photographer, my boss was a super cheapskate. I demanded a raise and it was something like 5 cents per hour. That was just enough to bump me into the next bracket, and my take-home pay went down. I left that job when I demanded he pay me at least 12 grand per year and he said no. I just checked and 12K per year is 1977 is the equivalent of $57,951.49 in today's money. I started my new job in Oklahoma at 12K per year and it increased rapidly.
