What kind of raises (if any) are you expecting this year?

[richardycc]

cost of living is up 4.4% for the year, if your raise is less than that, you are actually getting a paycut! :shocked:

I get a Cost of Living Allowance(COLA) on top of any raises, during most contract negotiations they roll COLA into our base wage. This last time we didn't roll the COLA and our raises were made into a lump sum payment so that didn't get into our base wages either. This works against you big time because you start from the same place you started from on the next contract 4 years later and your base wages figure into your retirement. We definitely gave concessions in this last contract when you also consider we installed a two tier wage system for new hires.

Oh Well, I still make enough money.

$0.20/hr in the next few weeks.

I'm hoping for 5-10%, but I'm not holding my breath.

I'll be getting a raise on my one-year aniversary in November. no clue how much the raise will be, but everyone I've talked to says that they're pretty generous with raises. 10-15% would be pretty sweet... not enough for me to move into a nicer apartment, but I'd be able to save more and start putting money into my 401K.

Maybe 4%. I'll have been working in this hellhole for two years come December, and I'm gettting out if I don't get a decent raise.

Odds of me getting a decent raise = 0.001%

I don't know why I bust my butt everyday....most of my coworkers don't....:|

 

[MaxDSP]

Getting laid off sometime late November...

 

[Gooberlx2]

Raises!?!? Surely you'll be talking about other imaginary things like leprechauns, fairies and lowering-gas-prices next

 

[Anubis]

hopefully a raise for 0$ TO HAVEING A JOB

 

[ski2slow]

I hope enough to cover the increase in my health insurance.

 

[pulse8]

I'm expecting a good one by January. I started in July.

 

[GhettoFob]

I got a 5% raise and a $2000 bonus after 3 months, not too shabby.

 

[Falloutboy]

12% this year but I make so little its not even that much ... oh well going to try to make a move to a better paying job next mounth. I work in goverment tv and am grossly underpaid but wasn't much else avail when I got out of school so I took it, but next week a neighboring city is comming to see our channel becaue thier starting thier own soon, and I think I'm going to try to show off what i can do and try to impress them. then send them a cover letter letting them know i'm interested in position getting thier channel up and running. (although I think my boss is going to try the same thing from the way he's been talking, so if that happens I could menouver myself into his position which would be ablout a 120% raise for me

 

[FrustratedUser]

95% estimated.

But a bit more realistic would be 5%

 

[sniperruff]

actually im a temp with no OT and no benefits for over 3 months and im already guessing that they'll lay me off at the end of the 6-month temp period

 

[JetsFanatic]

2% as per the union contract

 

[Megatomic]

I got my raise letter today. 1.7%. :|

I heard that physics dept. got it even worst. I hope they make it up to us next year.

 

[BatmanNate]

Probably somewhere between jack and shit. (got 2.75% last year, zilch the years before that)

 

[MoobyTheGoldenCalf]

I usually get 4% a year.

 

[Dacalo]

I am getting promoted so it will be around %30 for me

 

[gooseman]

3 months ago I got a 22% raise. Today, I got another 11% raise on top of that and I'm due my annual review which should be another 3.5% raise on top of both of those. I'm estatic!!!!! This was due to my job being reclassified and my pay grade raised.

 

[Barnaby W. Füi]

Two 20 cent raises -- I make $6.40/hr now!

BLING BLING

 

[Orsorum]

At the moment I make $320 for 25 hours of work; in a month I should receive a raise to $340, in another month $360, etc. In winter I should be able to do a bit more work, maybe $450 a week; it keeps going up from there. Unfortunately this is before taxes.

 

[Muadib]

My raise this year was a sad 2%.

 

[Turkey22]

2% but they are taking out more for benefits this year so I actually lost money.
