Here's some news for you, every employee is not under a step program, and many did not get an increase in earlier years when those that are currently included in the step program got one. If you were a manager you are fully aware of this. If you were a manager I would appreciate your responses in the future to deal with the complete truth. If you were a manager will you confirm what I said about raises in previous years?
The weeds can be cleared now, if you will not confirm what I said you either weren't in management or are a liar on this point. No other ground to claim.
