Well I for one would be happy to be getting $75,000 (GBP46,450) and even happier if I thought it would go up by a minimum of 2% just for keeping out of trouble.
SO with you on that one--due to a redundancy my salary has effectively dropped by £10,000 in the last three years, and even before that it was nowhere near that $75,000 figure! Part of that's being a more general sysadmin than a SQL specialist, admittedly, but I would kill to work for a company where I could just be a "bench warmer" and get a guaranteed 2% annual pay rise...
