Poll: Working people, did you get a raise this year?

[Argo]

It'll be interesting to find out if the economy is really picking up.

^^^
june for me

i am positive i will get something, probably 2-5%

 

[Feldenak]

Nope. I haven't seen a raise in about 14 months. I hate this place.

 

[Squisher]

Me? I'm union. I get my 3% over the life of the contract plus cost-of-living.

The wife? She's getting her forth promotion in four years. There is no holding that woman back. She'll be making more than me soon.

 

[MaxDSP]

We lost a HUGE contract (and along with that, a HUGE promotion for myself). However, if we are successful in bidding for an even bigger contract with a new customer later this year, a promotion/raise is definitely coming my way

 

[MustISO]

Haven't found out yet. Sould know by the end of Feb. In the old days (98-2000) our raises were huge. Last year they sucked. We'll see what happens this year.

 

[shopbruin]

i was TOLD i was getting one but ALAS, NOTHING YET.

 

[Kenny1234]

Yeah. A raise from 7.45 to 7.75 and one week before i quit.

Pool: Working people, did you get a raise this year?

Wheeeeeeeee, a pool, when can we have a swim party?

 

[Evadman]

I got a 17% merit raise about 6 months ago. My yearly is coming up in less than a month and I expect at least 20%

 

[PlatinumGold]

where is the pool??

 

[matt426malm]

no, the only way I get a raise from my university is if minimum wage goes up.

 

[olds]

Hmmm... The year is only 29 days old.

 

[Thegonagle]

I got a new job, so in effect, I gave myself a raise--a 40% raise!

 

[kyparrish]

I got a 5.5% raise...ehh, better than nothing

 

[ski2slow]

Just had my review today. I'm suppose to find out by middle of next month.

 

[saxophonoia]

No. I am now getting less money because of cutbacks. Considering I wasn't making a lot anyway at least not too much got taken away since it was based on a percentage of your earnings.

 

[Chiropteran]

I'm going to say yes, because I have recieved a raise every year so far.

If I don't get one, I'll be looking for a new job.

So tell me if I am being unreasonable ... I interned at a VERY large company for 3 months from May to August. Did exceptional work there, got an award (they gave about 15 out to around 100 people over the course of a year). I then worked p/t until December. I started full time about 3 weeks ago. I had to do a yearly evaluation .... and I did exceptional. My manager gave me the highest rating in our group (4/5) ... most everybody else got a 3/5 (average). But I don't think I'll get a raise, or a bonus or anything because I technically haven't worked there for very long. Kind of pisses me off that people who haven't worked as hard as I did, or as capable as I am are going to be getting raises when I should.
