This is exactly why I’m so goddamn happy I’m in a union, we fought off the fucking cunts and won. Secured significantly better conditions and guaranteed raises for several thousand people all in one go. It was a pretty narrow vote though, they literally hired a guy to generate internal propaganda about how good getting a pay cut was going to be…
Were they peddling the tax bracket bullshit? “If you make more than $X, then you have to pay an extra Y% in taxes [but I’m not going to mention that that’s only on amounts over $X].”
In my country in the EU we don’t use brackets anymore. It’s just linear. In the current age of computers and magic it can be calculated with a simple press of a button.
You only give a raise after exceeding expectations. We also never give exceeds expectations.

No nothing like that, they just offered the teeny tiniest little raises when we’d had 7+% inflation so our wages were effectively set back 2-3 years.
The ceo gave himself a $2 million bonus or something insane.

Imagine being that bustard. No shame
Our expectation is that you exceed expectations. So good luck.
This what they told my wife when she was carrying 250% of the caseload her peers were. Boss rated her 3/5 and said that no one gets 5s.
2 of her coworkers doing less than half the work she did got rated 5.
It ain’t easy being grammar.
