So you got a $1 raise because of the base pay increase? How about if you make more?
I was making below $10, and since I'm PG 7, I make 10.50 right off the bat. That's a 90 cent in of itself, plus the performance part of the raise.
If you're already above the new base pay, you'll only receive the performance raise. It sucks for people that been there awhile but I don't think corporate really cares either.
