[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 1115006, member: 22880"] That is what I'm trying to illustrate. A 'system' requires predictability. The wage employees don't have that. There was a system used up to 2008. In the years leading up to 2008, Express did indeed change the percentages given and the frequency at which raises were given. But it had the element of predictability. An employee could look in PRISM, cross index their review score, and get the pay raise they were going to receive in March. No being jerked around, no "we'll let you know". The employees knew what to expect. That disappeared in 2009. Getting nothing one year, then 2% the next, then 2.5%, then something indexed to pay progression, then an announcement "sorry, no raises this March yet again". The only thing 'systemic' to that, is that no one knows what the hell they'll get. If one wants to call that a system, have at it. It appears our hero thinks that is a system. [/QUOTE]
