Ep 11. It Wouldn't Hurt Them to Give Us a Raise

Rob and Buddy are feeling a bit underappreciated at work and decide to ask for a raise. However, they are both hesitant to approach their boss, Alan Brady, directly. They come up with a plan to work up the courage to ask for the raise by gathering information and statistics to prove their worth to the company.

To do this, Rob and Buddy start keeping a detailed log of all the work they do in a day and how long it takes them to complete each task. They also start keeping track of their successes and accomplishments over the past year. Armed with this information, they finally work up the courage to ask for a raise.

When they finally confront Alan Brady, they are surprised to learn that he is not in charge of setting their salaries. Instead, that decision is made by the company's treasurer, who is very tight-fisted when it comes to employee salaries. Brady sympathizes with Rob and Buddy's plight and agrees to speak to the treasurer on their behalf.

In the meantime, Rob and Buddy continue to work hard, hoping that their efforts will be recognized and rewarded. They come up with even more ways to prove their worth to the company, including a plan to save the company money by implementing a new filing system.

Finally, the day arrives when they are scheduled to meet with the treasurer. Rob and Buddy are nervous, but hopeful, as they lay out their case for a raise. The treasurer is initially dismissive of their arguments, but as they continue to make their case, he starts to see the value in what they are saying.

In the end, the treasurer agrees to give them a modest raise, much to Rob and Buddy's relief. They leave the meeting feeling validated and appreciated, and their renewed sense of confidence and morale is evident in their work going forward.

As the episode ends, Rob and Buddy reflect on their experience and how it taught them to stand up for themselves and their worth as employees. They also realize that the relationships they have with their colleagues and boss are just as important as their salaries, and that the respect and camaraderie they share with their coworkers is just as valuable as any monetary compensation.
