[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5144848, member: 24302"] Up to a point that's true. But when top out is about $5.25hr more than you make when you're hired and 15 years later it's almost $6hr more than you're making, you realize that you'll never do as well, have to accept you'll never afford some things you want, that your retirement won't be as good. It grinds on many. And I imagine a person trying to take care of kids would really have a problem with a company that tells you year over year that the company is looking at it, just hang in there, it's coming soon, but it never does. And then they finally implement a new pay policy that looks like a huge improvement, will top out in 9 years, then they start playing around with the raises. So be noble and carry on. I put in almost 29 years on the clock and messed up by quitting when I was topped out long ago. And found myself in the same boat as tens of thousands when I was rehired. As far as I'm concerned my work ethic consisted of always posting some of the best numbers in the station, always volunteering to work days off including Christmas, almost always taking freight from others when asked, volunteering to unload cans. But I never shied away from telling them their pay policies were unfair to midrange employees and did so in numerous meetings including to district directors. If that's a bad work ethic to you so be it. [/QUOTE]
