I realize that for my company. We have had two across the board raises in the last 14 months and are working on the employee evaluations now for another upgrade in January.

But I'm not a walmart. The people we need must have skills that are not easy to learn and are not easy to replace. The fact that I observe how other business does things, doesn't mean I agree with it. But it doesn't change the facts as they exist.
