Quoting Gabriel Sechan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

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.

Man.. you guys have worked for some sucky companies.  We have our goals
spelled out pretty plainly for us here.  I even got one raise a couple years
ago out of the blue.. partly because they'd done a comparison of our pay vs
industry standards and we were slipping some, and also I was doing such a
good job.
