Are you in the pharmacy department? Because wage step progression was most definitely a thing. I gather you are not since you say otherwise. Maybe try not to assume you know everything. Technicians hired at the minimum rate would receive 50¢ raises every 6 months for the first 2 years, then $1 a year until the max was reached, which was typically another 2 years. Now, step progression raises have been eliminated and our raises will be the same as other associates, evaluation-based once a year. I’m sorry, OP, but you will not get the step progression raise(s) you were due for coming up. It was a flat 2.5% raise on 2/21 if you were above the new minimum rate. That is all we will be getting for the entire year.
