Increase your salaries ? really ?

SINGAPORE : The government is looking at the employment data of graduates when reviewing the salaries of civil servants.

Everytime when the top people thinks of increasing our salary, our minds begin to wander. 
The first question on our mind........WHY ? Is this an exercise for their own benefits ? Why are they so good as to consider increasing our pay-packets ? In our younger days, being simple minded, we jumped up with joy. Today, being a little bit older, we are angry  , WHY ?

Think of it......because every increase of one single dollars, they got 200 dollars.  We might as well stay where we are and remain happy.

 :mad:Once this dirty word " pay increase " gets on TV......everything in the hawker centres, shopping malls, even the under-takers, starts to exploit us and increase every damn thing.  right ?

Do people realy leave for higher wage or tjust because of th work environment? Does it warrant a hike in pay just because of people are leaving? Its naive to assume that people only leave for the $$$ and quickly claim that there is a need to increase wages. Think we are all children.

The top people wants a pay increment. They cannot say thats what they wanted. Right  ? so, the only way is to be " good hearted " and claimed the economy is doing fine, so thats all have a pay increment........ha ha .....starting from government service first.
