My previous employer pulled that shit last year. They gave us our annual raise and cost of living adjustment and none of us even got what the cost of living increase was. They tried to rationalize it by saying that the business had a bad year but we all knew it was BS, especially since the source testing part had it's best year ever.
In the next year the business (consisting of 12 people, including the owner and his wife) lost 6 of its employees and at least 2 were looking for new jobs when I left.

Why not? I work quite hard each year, and I'm very lucky to get a 3% raise. Even when I was in management I had to jugle .25% taken from a couple persons to give someone else a 3.5% raise.
