to sign or not to sign?

This morning, HRD personnels went to our office to have our signing contract for associate tenure. It was actually their contract signing since I was a month late from my batchmates because of some unavoidable reasons. Everyone was really excited and anxious at the same time. They've been waiting to know how much their salary increase would be. We are the pioneer batch of this project and we expect for something possible this time even though we got frustrated for a lot of times. But as anticipated, not all were satisfied with their increase rates and annual evaluations. Others even thought of having an unfair treatment from their supervisor, they're telling that they were evaluated unjustly.

Somehow, I felt for them especially for the auditors who have been rendering overtime just to finish their reports; sitting eight hours or more a day just to finish with their audits; and exerting extra efforts to guide those new comers. While some other associates, though working on time, spent their extra time on surfing and chatting. It is truly unfair! We didn't even got any recognition for being a part of the advanced team who handles sensitive cases. What happened is, it didn't matter if you were a part of the advanced team, auditors' or lesser sensitive cases. I am a part of the advanced team and now I don't feel the sense of belongingness anymore. What's the use of being a part of this team if I will be receiving the same recognition as with others who don't even know how hard we've went through just to be here? I need recognition! I was not surprised when I heard that some didn't accept the offer for tenure because of these unjustly evaluations and absurd treatments. And I will not get surprise if one day I will see one of my batchmates working in another company.
