Not going to help pay the bills, save for college, or offset the ridiculous prices at the grocery store. I think we should be more concerned with the 200+ million they just threw at Endeavor.
I've worked a job at close to min wage and got a 6% raise once. Didn't even notice it. To get wrapped up on this is silly. 4% is nothing. Probably still less than Ed's bonus in total.
I’m going to look at it in a glass half full way.
This is an optics raise for the other groups. If we had gotten a big raise and the non union groups had nothing, there would be a union drive for those employees. This is a smart move my the company to provide a positive narrative to the other groups when we eventually get ours.
