It mana ged to be 3 cents less then this years inflation. On the plus side union dues are nearly $1 cheaper since then.

What’s a raise?

I once worked for a company that did my evaluation mid-December. My review was [facetious tone] glowingly-positive, and they said I was due for a 25 cent raise — which I did get, starting January first... It was still 23 cents less than the minimum wage increase.

A myth

It sounds like it is time for the Canadian P ay Raise : effectively double your salary by simply  doing  half the work for the same pay

It’s that thing that all the house prices in your area do.

Could be worse. It could have been post-dated and then had you fired before you saw a dime of it. N ot that I’m bitter.

Its impossible to be fired if you cloc k in on time and breath so it’s what many employees do. (Especially the veterans who make top of scale or better)    A pparently people dont go crazy from boredom of a halfassed effort

But what about lay offs?  At a certain point half-assing things becomes its own pass time. Determining how to absolutely minimize your level of effort for a particular task is not simple.

The union makes firing anybody a tricky proposition. I’m starting to pick up what your putting down, stretching a 4-5 hour task into 8 hours while,"working" the entire time does take careful planning.
