Everyone's upset because the vending maching company raised the price of soda's from 45 cents to 50 cents.  I've worked here 9 years and this is the first price increase. Why do I feel like I'm working with a bunch of Senior Citizens on a pension?

It would be prudent at this juncture to tell you that our vending machine soda if $0.20.
at your coworkers.

I remember this as being a huge perk when you started that job.

Same thing happened here about 3 months ago. I told them I would spot them a nickel for the first week of the transition.
I think our company has a serious  soda addiction.

to pursue other things, this isn't for me.
However, even if I wasn't changing industries, I don't think there is a real long term future in this particular job, I think we're for sale and when we're bought layoffs happen and the gravy train ends.
