As I read some of the post below, I scratch my head, where do you people come up with this stuff? " I thought we were broke" No actaully we had a surplus this year" "We are in a recession" really? Based on what, because all I see is new jobs and buildings going up. Look its simple, if we want to attract talent in upper supervisor jobs, we have to offer an incentive and that is money. We do it in sports, business and in fact in the military. We don't say congrats General but your pay won't change.
