When Was Your Last Raise?

[pieces of eight]

My last raise was two years ago, and I don't foresee getting one for another couple of years.

In the running for a promotion and if that occurs, my meager salary will more than double. Again, that isn't saying much considering the starting point.

It'll be 2 years in September, and I asked for that one. The company I work for was going into a merger and I knew there likely wouldn't be any raises for a while so I wanted one before the merge. I don't look for any more any time soon, either.

Of course, I already make $10,000 decisions, so there isn't much room for improvement. ;)

I'm thinking this is the only way people can get raises now, especially if they're working in the public sector.

Not really seeing how this is going to improve in the near future, either.

I've been increased every year for four years. #5 is due any day. I'm starting to think I'm pretty good at what I do.

I got a $2000/year raise in April and then quit my job the next day. Then I took a job that paid less. >:(

You got a 10% raise and then quit. Talk about ungrateful.

It wasn't a 10% raise. And I wasn't ungrateful as much as I was irritated because there were serious issues with my manager and this seemed like a last ditch effort by the board to keep me happy. Also, I was afraid my manager was stealing money and didn't want to stick around to see how that turned out. Eh. I'm happier now with less money.

if i was that manager i would have framed you for stealing money after you quit. it's always best to blame whoever isn't around to defend themselves.
