>If you're going to nitpick over a single percentage point, try to be accurate with your math. >21% over 3 years is about 6.6% compounded annually. OK, 6.6. I had it under 6.5% in my head. My bad. >No matter how you slice it, that's quite a substantial raise per year. >Private sector workers don't get raises to "make up" for bad times. The market doesn't work that way. Really? What's happened in the financial sector? What's happened to those who make most of their living off of the stock market? >Your problem is that you believe everyone is entitled to a 7% annual raise. Bad economic times? No problem, just make up for it later on. Not entitled to; I just don't begrudge them that. -Z
