The only reason they delayed it last year was the runway problem. Why would anyone tell their employees they would be getting
again during a critical time when they needed everyone on-side with the operation. Frankly it was a wonderful idea to delay the announcement until the problem was almost resolved!
Is this the last Thursday before the payroll cutoff for this month?
I think they will announce it quietly in an email this afternoon that we will get a 4% increase in pay including a step. I believe it is a requirement to make it vague enough that we think we will get more.
