She's going to ask if they flatly are refusing to even do COLA for people who *just* do their jobs.
What's COLA?
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
