...You forgot to add they all have unique skills that make them irreplaceable, and if they're unhappy with their job, they can quit at any given moment, immediately set their price and start working for their employer's competitors.

Question is, would you commit today to not getting a pay raise for the next 3 years? There is no renegotiating.


I make over $38/hr..i can deal without a raise for 3 years, at some point you have to realize that you make over $100k/yr and just need to be happy.

I hate that I work for a union refinery.

We are all lab rats at heart. It's pretty chill and we are all hoping for the best possible outcome. You work side by side in a fish bowl for years you get pretty tight.

You must not think much of yourself to take a pay cut for three years.

I'm failing to see where he said anything about taking a paycut.
