[quote=Anonymous]No, everyone doesn't deserve a raise; in fact, I believe, even in the MCPS organization, there's at least one person who deserves to be fired. And, as a government employee who has not had a raise in several years (and has endured mandatory furloughs) while having benefits cut (and also paying substantially more for health insurance), it's off-putting to me that a 7% raise seems like no big deal to MCPS teachers. As a government worker, I, for one, I'm grateful that I have a job in this economy -- and even though my workload is ever expanding with NO additional compensation (in addition to the pay freeze, we've had a hiring freeze: as workers depart, their duties are doled out to those of us that remain). So I would be overjoyed with ANY raise -- even the one-half percent raise that has been proposed for the feds. But I think a 7% raise for any government employee -- federal, state, county, or municipal -- is indefeasibly high. [/quote]
