It's every employer's dream, don't you know? To have their underpaid employees imagine they're being treated better than they are. They get more work out of you, while still paying you a fraction of your real worth. And they invested $0 to do it, since you just "imagined it."

If I pretended I got paid that much, I would take an early lunch, then hit the links at 2pm, and have the company car drive me home afterwards...
