since I just had my annual review. Working for a big aerospace corporation you find out that no matter how good you do, it is never good enough. Saved the company over $1,000,000 in license fees with an alternative architecture for a failing project and it doesn't count for a great deal. I could go on and on, but when the economy improves it may be time for me to move on.

That would barely pay for one engine. Ask the CEO how big his bonus was this year in "this economy".

I remember back when I worked for another company, for 5 years all us grunts would get was the very basic 2% increase. Because you know, times are difficult, you did what you were supposed to do, but did not "stand out". Like A Troll's example, you save the company $1,000,000 and you get "That's what your supposed to do."

I stayed friends with my boss from back then, and see him once in a while, and we remeniss, and that is when I found out this nice little bit of information. While all of the grunts were getting 2% annual raises, the managers were getting 10%. Essentially they are givin a budget for raises. Whatever they didn't give out, they get to keep.
