The good news is that once you get to $40 you are getting pretty close to second year pay and those rates would need to increase slightly. If it wasn't obvious with the last pay package, all the company cares about is getting new hires. They don't care about anyone with longevity. Which is probably why you see some many higher seniority people pulling the chute.
