As curious person outside of the ME...
If a 10% rise were to happen...
Would it be better appreciated in straight pay or a 10% reduction in hours worked... or say 5% reduction in time and more schedule flexibility (flexibility often requires more staffing redundancy which costs...)
If you in the direct pay camp, it just seems like even with a 10% raise, none of the other issues that beat you down over time are resolved. I am missing something?
