[QUOTE="quadro, post: 754458, member: 12850"] Do you read what you write before posting it? How can you say that something is guaranteed and then in the next sentence imply that it's not guaranteed? And good luck finding where it says that topped out employees are guaranteed any raise, let alone a 3% one. On a number of occasions including this post, you tell me I'm wrong when in fact, you are the one that is wrong. I can only conclude that you aren't interested in the truth and would rather attack what I say, hence the blind hatred. I'm not shooting down any ideas. As I've said, I would love to see the in-range raises go up a few percentage points. Yes I'm topped out and no, I'm not so worried about my future with a union as I am some very good people who maybe just aren't quite courier material and some who are at the bottom of the totem pole. I'm worried about how much harder I might have to work with a union but I can live with that. It's the possibility of job eliminations that concern me the most. That's fine if you want to vote for a union. I absolutely respect everyone's right to choose what's best for them. All I'm saying is make sure you have accurate facts when making that decision. Also, let me ask you, if you get a paycheck that is higher than your average, say due to some extra OT worked last week, do you go and spend every extra penny you made that week or do you save some of it in case a future paycheck is a little lower than average? Perhaps you do spend every penny but many people will at least try to save some. It's no different for any business. Just because a profit is made in one quarter, you don't go out and spend every extra penny. It's just not wise and is very fiscally irresponsible. I guess you'll have to wait and see. One thing though, if you only missed 1 day, make sure that your manager gives you any bonus points on attendance that you are entitled to. Unfortunately, I think it is you who is missing the point. A review, by definition, reviews your performance so of course it punishes you if you make mistakes or are absent. What else would you have a review do? If you aren't absent and don't make mistakes, you get a higher score. That's how it's supposed to work. Look, all of us have our crosses to bear and our beds to lay in and some of us are in a better position than others. That's the way life works.
