Been living with that bullshit for years, despite the profitability of the company. The problem is the number of other corporations that are all doing the same thing while handing out extra cash to executives, all of them waiting for the other person to blink and start paying out real raises again and hiding behind the "ongoing recession" and "new normal" nonsense. Last time I got a raise over 3% without a promotion was a 4.5% bump....the same year they increased our insurance cost by 6%.

HI HO!
