>We're talking about guaranteed raises. 3% would be OK with me. 5% is rather generous. 7% is nuts. 21% over 3 years, which was a starting point for the negotiation, not the end point (of course you're going to start high), Is 6% compounded annually, not 7%. Also, wasn't their salary frozen for a couple of years during bad economic times?
