So, obligatory “Not my monkey, not my circus” situation here.
While on the phone with my son just now, he confided in me that his coworker was told that it is illegal to receive an increase of pay of more than 10% of current pay. Not that it's part of company policy, but that it would get them (the employer) in hot water with the state department of labor. Not that I think this is anywhere near accurate, but I figured I'd ask about it.
