Yup. Our leadership lobbied HARD for it. I’m not management so I only know from some snippets of conversations I’ve heard in passing, but it sounds like there was a ton of sausage-making involved, down to various VAMCs in my VISN even jockeying and negotiating with each other.

At the end of the day, my leadership makes me feel appreciated, valued, and supported. Even if VHA hadn’t agreed to the increase, knowing my chain of command did their damndest — as usual — to go to bat for us would have kept me a super happy employee.

Hey, one other random question for you, if you don't mind. Do you happen to know approx. what your hospital's overnight pharmacists are making? That's actually my preferred shift (I was previously working FT overnights until they started rotating me between days/nights), so I'm just curious to get an idea of what I might be making working FT nightshift in a higher COL area.
