    I want to make him as paranoid and uncomfortable as possible.

    I'm thinking of:

    "Whatever. I couldn't give a toss really beause

    1. You've given me a salary 20% more than I asked for. Idiot.

    2. I'm skilling up and will be out of here by this time next year.
    "
    Studious silence while looking someone in the eye is a good way to make someone paranoid and uncomfortable; it makes them talk more and more and try to justify everything they say.

      Permie IB staff I know are getting a 2% increase with a less than 10% bonus.

      "2% is in line with inflation"

      "2%? what country are you basing that on?"

      ...my friend gave. He resigned the next day.

        Maybe he was just humouring you.

        Sorry ?! A data analyst on probably £20K tops a year, or a contractor on £350 / day on 12 month contract...

        Unless his bonus was £80,000 than I would be surprised

          Ok, fair point. Not the sort of analyst I was thinking of.

            I wouldn't have thought a BA would have got more than say 60K - but then again I'm not a BA so may be talking tulip
