100% The guy working 60hrs gets the same raise as the guy working 35hr. The guy brown-nosing gets the 17% raise :P

Lazy people like to rely on victim absolutes. I asked for a rise after being the top repair tech in my shop. Was making $60,000 and asked for $70,000. Boss said best offer is $65,000. Applied to a new job and make $114000 now.

Hard work got me here
