recession-proof

Just got a raise from my BB

all:

just got a call from HR @ my BB, alerting me that my base salary for 2009 (when I will start) will now be 70k, not the 60k contract I signed. They told me all analysts will receive this pay raise.

needless to say, this was the last call i ever expected to get. i'm still holding out that it was a practical joke.

anyone know anything about this, or is just my bank?
