POLL: year-end pay increase

[welst10]

Mine is 3.4. Not that great, but I guess I can't complain much, at least better than last year.

 

[olds]

<--- 0% and they want to take away most of my pension

 

[Drakkon]

stupid contract renews in july...

 

[jimikim]

Historically at my level is 20%, but this year will probably be 25%.

 

[TheAudit]

4%.
Better than the 0% of my last job.

Uhm ... wow.
What do you do?

 

[Armitage]

3.6%
Raise pool was rumored to be 3.5% so somebody else got shafted a bit.

 

[StageLeft]

HAHA, yeah right! My christmas gift is having a job. A neighbor narrowly missed getting canned and the place I'm contracting at recently let a bunch of people go.

 

[HardcoreRobot]

i dont think i get one

 

[Megatomic]

We get no year end pay raises at my lab. We got one in Oct. and it was pathetic. Way less than inflation. :|

Lies?

 

[Mayfriday0529]

february, have to wait to february which actually means more like april and then get retro pay and i only get 3% increase

 

[Mojoed]

Nada for me.

 

[richardycc]

keep in mind that cost of living is at ~4.6%, if your raise is less than that, you are actually getting a paycut!

 

[mchammer187]

something around 2% automatic (cost of living)

eligible for promotion every year too

 

[FoBoT]

our fiscal year ends april 30. we don't get yearly raises until the end of june

Well, a 20% increase of the current minimum wage rate is a pretty good bump for jjimkim.

I am a CPA-to-be working for a national Public Accounting company. Congress passed Sarbanes-Oxley because of Enron and Worldcom so we have 30% more work which explains the extra 5%. Historically it's 20% because of the high turnover (people typically leave after 1-2 years); we have 65 hour weeks during peak season. There usually just is a shortage of accountants in general so wages are high to keep people there.

cost of living increase is 4.6%? that seems pretty high. You sure about this figure?

 

[brtspears2]

0% and no bonus. That's what happens when I work for the government.

 

[nakedfrog]

Hm... I haven't been informed yet. I did already get two raises this year (an old useless manager that didn't like me was fired, and his replacement looked at what I did and gave me about $8k in raises this year) so I might not get one.

40% extraordinary income tax on bonuses is no fun either
