When I was in the gummint software world (at Computer Sciences Corporation), my boss (who everyone acknowledged was doing an excellent job) got a few-pennies-an-hour raise. His reaction was pretty much the same as giving a few pennies to a waitperson as a tip.

As my own boss, I'm definitely up there with the star cheap-bastards. Haven't given myself a raise in years. Wouldn't want to have to compete with those top shelf guys. The odd thing is I would work cheaper as a regular hire, but people would rather pay me more money as a bargain-priced consomething. I don't understand business economics.
