Got news for ya ... the boomers got lied to as well. SOME of us still went ahead and worked our asses off anyway and many made out until a couple of years ago. Many of the rest of us just accepted the truth and made due with what we could get. Welcome to the corporate bullshit world of broken promises, trickle-down and "if you're not doing what you thought you were promised, then you're not working hard enougn." We're STILL hearing that shit even today.But as to that 10% per year, dunno where that came from but public sector contracts usually run 3 years or more between renewals and the media always pegs that raise by totaling up the years to an amount that really doesn't work out to that. The 3% you're talking about per year would be a windfall amount for civil service. With rare exceptions, there were numerous years of zero, and less than 3% so it's important to correct you on the numbers because what you were told the raises were if that's the case is every bit as much a fib as your "future." The future didn't really start going into the bag until Reagan got elected, and Gen X'ers were the biggest boosters of the GOP "dream" ... you have only yourselves to blame there for being played like suckers. Shoulda put down the Atari for a minute and paid attention to what was going on around ya, no offense. Like I tried to say though, I can truly understand the butthurt. Happened to me as well ... but you're shooting in the wrong direction here ... |
