This is another way to look at it based on a 20 year career and it actually sounds quite appetizing but it really sucks dix. I will pay you $30,000 a year for 19 years. You must take a zero percent raise all of your first 19 years. Then on your 20th year (since you are retiring and I love you - NOT) I will give you a 150% raise. Sounds good but I really just fucked you in the *** really really hard and I'm the only one that liked it. 20 years at $30,000 with zero raise and then the hefty catch up
