Hi guys, I have been feeling livid and betrayed in a way this evening. I would like you opinions as I figure out what I am going to do, and pray that I can be professional in my approach.
Apparently my employer decided to raise the top of the pay scale (not much, but a bit). Anyway I have the most seniority and have been at the top of the scale for years. They have started giving raises. The problem is they are waiting for anniversary dates to give the raise. Because my date fell just before they finalized this I am expected to work for ten month for less than people I have been there longer than, and whom I can prove I do more work than. While I can understand this for the new people, I can't understand this for me as I have had four years now where my date has passed without a raise. It works great for the guy who has been there a year less than me with a January date, and a guy less than a year behind me who was early this month. I just can't believe after years of working massive numbers of hours and taking the extra days they needed covered along with making suggestions that are now generating more loads a day for the company that I am expected to earn less for months. I am just praying because I don't want to go in there as upset as I am.
Is it just me or is this not right?
