<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chip, post: 852106, member: 19122&quot;]I once worked at a place where the rules dictated that the boss give you a performance review every year, these were important because any raise depended on the review.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now what also occurred was that the head of each department who gave the reviews would be given a budget to work with, and an overall raise for his department of a certain percentage, it was up to him how he was to distribute that percentage.</p><p><br /></p><p>The problem was that the boss also was included in that budget, so to give himself a better raise, he had to give his workers a lesser one. As the company was falling from the prosperous going concern it was founded as, the original owner retired, then passed away, the grandson of the original owner who could not tell a paw from a pawl, the management of the company also suffered. One boss who was with us for a short time would find criticisms of his personnel in order to justify keeping their raises low or non existant and to keep his raises as high as possible.</p><p><br /></p><p>After one such round of reviews we were conversing in the lunch room about the raises and reviews, I had received a small raise but was criticized for not joining some of the extra curricular activities that the company offered, another person was given a smaller raise because they had joined extracurricular company activities that took time away from his work, so it was a d*mned if you do, d*mned if you dont scenario.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do not know if your dealer is giving you rationales for a lower offer for bullion, it might be that he just does not have the clientele that is interested in different sizes of bullion, I would save the sales and take it to the next coin show you can get to, that would lessen the narrow focus that your dealer works with.</p><p><br /></p><p>But just a question, when you purchase &quot;odd sizes&quot; from him do you get a corresponding break on the price?</p><p><br /></p><p>I do get my ten ouncers for just a tiny bit over spot,[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
