Ethics question

[Atlanta Z3]

Hypothetical situation:  Your company gives annual merit increases.  You are offered a title change and raise.  Your supervisor asks, if because of your raise, would you be willing to give up your merit increase, so other co-workers could get a larger merit increase. Would you do it?

Not only no, but hell no.

Nope.  My pay increase have nothing to do with others.  If they deserve one they should get it but I should not have to give up mine so they can get a bigger increase.  The supervisor is wrong to ask.  Pay increases and amounts should be between an employee and the company only.

I am going to disagree with the majority... just kidding!  I would not share what I earned the right to get, each person should get a fair share and what they deserve.  If a person did better than me, so be it they get their raise, I wouldnt expect them to give up some of theirs for me!
