I agree with many on this board that say the pay raise is not enough but I question the ones that say the change in PS make it a no go for them. What am I missing?
8/6/3/3 would be more tolerable, not acceptable mind you, if they left PS as is. At least it would be a small raise. 8/0/3/3 with PS the same is basically 4/4/3/3 which barely keeps with inflation. Don't misunderstand me, I am all for converting soft money to hard money, but not with a loan shark. Rather get a fair exchange rate.
