How hard do you think most work? Not much incentive to bust your ass when he idiot next to you is getting the same pay raise for just getting by. Socialism at it's finest.

This is why I prefer the system I am on. My salary has barely changed and if someone were to do the math on my base, they'd wonder why I am a happy employee. It's in the bonuses. I prefer it that way. If you get money added to your paycheck, it just gets absorbed in to daily life and pretty soon it's like you never got it at all.
I used this example at one place I worked. I told my boss that if he gave each employee a $200.00 a year raise, he'd piss them off... BUT, if Christmas came and he handed each employee a crisp $100.00 bill, they'd be grateful...and he'd spend half as much.
