Everyone feels that the companies we work for want more and more for less and less.  I used to kid when they asked prices by saying, "we do them for free, since that is what you are looking for anyway". 
However, today I received a check from a large company for work that was $0.00.  They printed and mailed a zero check.  My prediction has come true - we work for free. 
Now, I will have to change my speal to,  "how much do I need to pay you to do your searches?"
Can it get any worse????
