[QUOTE="wilberforce15, post: 1123277, member: 5053"] [COLOR=#000000] When were you a part-timer? If you spent 7 years part-time, and now make top-rate, then you started at 8.50 ten years ago, at the latest. Ten years ago, your 8.50 was worth 10.76 today. [/COLOR][url=http://www.westegg.com/inflation/]The Inflation Calculator[/url][COLOR=#000000] So, you're giving a hard time to a guy whose pay is more than 20% lower than yours was. And you got benefits for your family more than a year before he did (or will). And that's the best case scenario. If you started more than ten years ago, then the discrepancy is even worse. Your total compensation for those 7 part-time years surpasses his by a country mile. It would help a great deal if full-timers realized this. You guys may have walked to the hub in the snow, uphill both ways, but the hills have gotten steeper and icier. [/COLOR][COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
