We recently got a pretty substantial raise at work. It was about $4 an hour for me. I guess I should just be grateful but one thing bothers me about it. We will now be getting a raise every 2 years on even years. 2 years, 4 years, etc… But I was 1 month shy of hitting one of those 2 year levels when they implemented this. So even though I now have 10 years in I have to wait until I have almost 12 years in to get my 10 year raise. I think as soon as you hit one of those levels they should give you the raise.
