It's official. My "OMG your fresh out of college, n00b" phase is over. Got a promotion and a 14% raise.

That doesn't beat one of my coworkers, however. He got a 20% raise. He wanted to know what $6 divided in to 26 pay periods worked out to. 😕

$6

Alright, maybe I'm missing something here. He got a $6 annual raise? And wants to know what the bi-weekly raise is (divided by 26)? And the $6 was a 20% raise over old salary? So, now he makes $36/year 😕

I'm a mathematician for a slot machine manufacturer. Up until today I was an associate mathematician, which basically meant that I was too fresh out of college to take a risk on.

The promotion put me up two pay grades, so I got the maximum raise percentage allowed by company policy. The good news for me is that I'm currently under the minimum salary for my new pay grade so they will be required to give me another nice raise in 6 months.

*sigh*

It was a joke. He was joking that he only got $6 and that it was a 20% increase.

<---- thought it was funny.

Not to be a pain, but if you got the maximum raise percentage offered by your company...how did your co-workder get a 20% raise?

Ah...that makes more sense. Didn't realize he was joking...I thought you were trying to point out that he was so stupid that he couldn't figure out how to do the division...guess I'm getting to used to the cynical nature of these forums.
