For about three weeks, we've been hearing rumors at work that we're all getting merit raises. This was excellent news - we had only had one raise in 5 years so this was great for our morale. We also heard that there was going to be a million dollar bonus distributed between all employees for meeting a December deadline in September. The news just kept on getting better!

Then we found out the truth. The raises and the bonus were only for a certain area, not the whole plant. They said the morale was dropping over there and they needed this kind of boost. Ummm...DUH! What the hell do they think is happening to OUR morale over here, hearing that we don't rate getting a raise or a bonus while all other employees do? To me this is bad business practice. Everyone is so mad over here...but we don't know what we should do.

And I'm sure if we did protest, they'd say, "Just be thankful you have a job." Blah Blah Blah.
