“We’ll reward people once things stabilize.” Said while announcing next year’s stretch goals. Everyone nodded like they hadn’t heard this exact line before. How long is stabilization supposed to take?

At least in education you know from year to year where you stand in terms of step advancement or step freeze and why. It’s discussed at Union meetings. We had a huge freeze in steps starting in 2010. It got to the point whereby first yr teachers/staff weren’t seeing a step increase for..I think 4-5yrs. Maybe longer. It was bad. The union members voted that if nothing else, we needed to fight for that group of ppl. It worked for them. Of course those of us at the top saw a bigger jump in pay with each step. Steps are adjusted or at least looked at during each contract negotiation.

Stability is not the goal, that's the trick.

Some things are never stable like uranium

Never. There has been new chaos every year for the last 15 years I've been working. Natural or manufactured.

It sounds like that saying, I’ll take that vacation… someday.
