Those bleeding heart liberal employers will do it to you every time--In my years as a wage slave, the best employers were always conservative Republicans, not perhaps always the most exciting folks, but the books were always balanced, and they knew the value of keeping their word--also, they were not given to making vague, but extravagent promises, which somehow or other never came to pass--
