If you look into it, a lot of the more senior people are pretty upset about the raise. The problem is, the new, lowly workers, who would normally get minimum wage (or perhaps $20/hr) got a huge pay raise, whereas the more senior folk, who were already getting close to the $70k per year got tiny raises and now make the same amount for considerably more work and responsibility.
As a side note, if you look at the cities that just raised their minimum wage to $15/hr, there are a lot of workers asking for their hours to be cut so they can still get their low income benefits.
