  A pay raise isn't a pay raise when the only thing you get is the cost of living increase. How insulting that is!

  A pay raise isn't a pay raise when it requires more time worked. Many employers succeed in putting that one over, and I wonder why people don't seem to get it.

  Brian,

  Im a temp - so i have NO incentive to work any harder then the bear minimum to not get fired (on that level- thank you & WNYC for your webcast).

  Infact, when i worked faster then i needed too, i lost a day of pay because i finished a project faster then expected.

  I would welcome incentives (or a full time job)-Peter, brooklyn

  I have a bachelors in mechanical engineering from Penn State, fifteen years of work experience and an MBA from Stern. I am currently earning 68k. I am desperate to find a new job. I can only dream of an incentive bonus.

  How about some incentive pay for students? Maybe college students could get some incentive pay. (Even better, I'd like a severance package when I go to another university for my graduate degree to avoid "academic inbreeding)

  you must remember that brian cashman(yankees gm) stated last week that the new manager will not have an incentive based clauses in his contract. now that's a total double standard.
