wrt the recent increment stuff, i feel that an increase in salary is one of the great modes to show ur employees that, yes, you are valued. And hence i want to invest more money in you. This is especially so when in the first place, nurses are already lowly paid, with a pay improportionate to their workload, and with a number tt quite clearly reflects our value perceived by others. Feeling rather indignant bout how the media portrays bout the salary adjustment and resulting in a surge of hope among family and fellow co-workers, when in the end the increment is kind of minimal.
