    I’m telling you that you shouldn’t be surprised it’s the way it is. Because it was this way when you started.

    Every union seems to do this - they backload pay and benefits. It happens to pilots (until the most recent CBA rounds) and flight attendants too. They get paid literally almost nothing and have to share rooms with 4 other people until they’ve gotten 10-20 years in, in which case they start making pretty decent money.

    Teachers are the same. They vote for you to make $30,000/yr with shitty raises, but at 30 years in you’re making $100k/year and will retire with $66k/year for the rest of your life in addition to social security.

    Adjusted slightly based on district.

    It’s always been like this and you knew it when you started.

    Sure, try to improve it and make it better - but don’t act surprised like it’s new.

    If only everyone got CEO raises, too bad not everyone is a CEO.
