In those situations you have a great chance at success, and if it doesn't work out (for various business reasons) you can hopefully use that experience to propel you to your next opportunity.

On others, they breed complacency... Congrats! :)

It is a real dis-incentive to go above and beyond. I'm just hoping that long term, my MBA will get me a department head position. I've suggested changes to the system, but the old boy network doesn't like change. Congrats to your husband for his ability to tackle a difficult situation. I'll have to re-think my approaches for the future! Those “across the board” raises are exactly what my company uses. It is a real dis-incentive to go above and beyond.

No matter how hard you work, everyone gets the same raise. No matter how hard you don't work, everyone gets the same raise. Pretty soon it stifles productivity because everyone subscribes to being lazy - after all, there is no incentive to go above and beyond.
