Here are the raise %'s for a 7.0 the past few years:
2002: 7.0 = 7.0%
2011: 7.0 = 4.5%
Prior to 2002, it was calculated differently with TRIPP pay, smaller raises twice a year, etc.
Should also note these are for mid-range employees. In 2002 and previous years a 7 review got you a 7% raise, a 6.9 got 6.9%, a 6.8 got 6.8%, and so on. I've been back since late '98 and pretty certain we weren't getting 2 raises a year. What happened is topped out employees got a series of adjustments over several years while the rest of us got left behind. They deserved every penny but where's our adjustments? When do we get rewarded for our efforts? And it's apparent why some are anti-union. They honestly believe they'll catch top-out eventually and be doing well. Maybe after 20 years and still lagging behind it'll sink in.
