as did everyone in the company that I work for..3% raise just because they love us so much. We'll of course get our regular raise in january too, but I thought it was pretty cool.

yeah, i think after taxes the increase in my paycheck will be just enough to get a pedicure & manicure and maybe get my hair done.

i always thought that they paid a bit more for the peeps that worked the drivethru.

and don't forget the spifs for asking if they would like to Super Size their order!!!

Congrats Brat! Nothing beats a mid-year raise. Especially when you know you have another raise around the corner.

I got a 10% raise last month and I'll get a January raise too.

Yeah, I was very pleased to say the least and surprised cause I don't think my company does a lot of midyear raises too often, unless a good employee is threatening to leave or something.

One of the companies I used to work for had increasing revenue and we got a Christmas bonus that reflected it.... $50 Target gift cards. I heard that the gift the year before was company t-shirts and the year before that was pencils with the company logo. I was new, so I didn't care, but several co-workers complained :D

I received an 18% raise in January, then a 4.5% COL raise this month. I also took on another job responsibility and will be receiving a $7500/year stipend.

I am happy!
