Had this discussion on here before. But I think something needs to be considered first. How much one makes to compare with others.
Do you make 6, 7, 8, 9k or higher per month and a 1 or 2 unit management person ? That will change things in the average final compensation.
I remember equation was a certain % up to 56k and a much lower %, times amount above that. This thinking you are 55 and 30 plus years.
The other thing that can make it different is if you were one of people who have monthly pay above the new bands and would not be getting any
raises in next few years. Would not matter in your best 5 in 10. Could be less with lower or no MIP going forward. Maybe some posting were in
the highly compensated range. Who knows. Can't change it. Take it and run !
