[QUOTE="Empty Pockets, post: 4124623, member: 77481"] Yes they are good. Any raise is a blessing. The point is that the new system looks to be flawed and the only way it will work is if a double raise is given to folks in the middle when the top and bottom move up. I just do not see that happening. They have strategically done this for many years. Oh, I just looked at your previous post and saw TYRA. I have been there many times. Tell Tyler John that empty Pockets says hi. If you stay long enough, you will begin to see what is going on. Since I worked with Tyler John, raises have been cut in half two different times and once before that even. Ask the old timers about how long they went without a raise in the late 90s. It was about nine years. Just look at the more recent raises. They did away with performance reviews about 5 or 6 years ago. A perfect review got a 4.5% pay increase...no more. the first raise after that was a 2% raise, then nothing, and then 3%. Then, they started the ten level system which was then postponed until October. Last year, after a 1.2 billion dollar tax break, They gave a level up but did not move the top/bottom. This was done in April. They announce that next merit increase would be 18 months away(Oct 2019). They posted it all over the news how they were investing in the employee. We hear the word "Raise" and get all happy. In hindsight, our raise was delayed six months the previous year, then received six months early(really back to normal), then next raise delayed 6 months. The word "Raise" got us so excited that we did not stop to notice that the folks not topped out got screwed again. [/QUOTE]
