From: Stewart Stremler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> begin quoting Brian as of Wed, Jul 13, 2005 at 04:08:55PM -0700: [snip] > They should be done away with, they're just legalized price and wage > fixing, that is not based on performance. Even in non-union shops, I've never seen wage increases based on performance -- it's almost always based on sucking-up, or leverage.
Amen. My bonus? Based on company performance hitting a magic number (side peeve: management won't release the number). I can work my ass off and not do anything to effect it. Raises? Frozen since I've been here. And still only partly performanced based- its more based on what other in the lab are earning in their pay brackets. No union here- just corporate managment, not treating us fairly because they can get away with it. On top of this, new CEO so layoffs are likely. This place is a good candidate for a union these days.
Of course, my solution was to take the voluntary severance they offered and run. New job has a nice raise, a sign on bonus, and I get my severance pay. Life is good.
