:wtf2:

Includes raises for federal employees? How many business do you know that are giving out raises next year? My company has already announced that it won't be, and it a big company.

Raise? Hah!! not only was there NO raise for me last year, they also cut my (and everyone's) salary by 7%. And of course we all know there is no raise this year either. So in theory I am 11% (and more) shy of what I should be making. This last cut took me back to my salary of 5 years ago. I'd like a piece of that $1.1T!! BUT as they say I guess I am lucky to have a job at all. I have friends who have been unemployed for 2 years!! I am so sad for them.

My salary and benefits were cut over 10% and maybe more is coming next year. I'm with you Vacker, I'm happy to be working.

I swear, this kind of stuff makes me feel ill; literally. I'm a little sick to my stomach. What a mix of anger and disappointment.

Yep I am in agreement with you all. I am currently at 12% decrease, and am happy to just have a job, while stressed about possible layoff here in January.
