We'd been in a salary freeze for a while and they just brought back cost of living raises, though they disguised them as "merit" raises. I think they did that to avoid having to give EVERYONE one. I've only been in my new management role 9 months so I didn't think I'd be getting one but I did. YEAH!!! This helps our house down payment savings plans go a little faster. *happy dance*
