Doug doesn't get a raise at his IPS job and Carrie gets upset because she knows that he has been working there for ten years and you are supposed to get a big raise after working there for that long. But Doug doesn't let her know that the only reason that he doesn't have a raise is because he hasn't been working there for ten years quite yet. The only reason he told her different, was because he wanted to sleep with Carrie when they started to first date and he knew that she wanted to be with a man who had goals and a job.
