Found out today I got a raise!

[TopDaugIn2000]

Took effect this past Monday. w00t!

[StoopTroup]

Congrats!

[TopDaugIn2000]

at my previous (and first REAL job) I couldn't even get a review out of them, much less MORE MONEY. So this is exciting. A REAL review, followed by a REAL raise.

[Bama/OU]

I got my review last week. It was a month and a half late.

Retro-pay checks kick ace..

Congrats TD.

But, really, don't spend it on me.

WTG!

I got butt-poked on mine this year!

Staying away from the board to do good at work DOES NOT payoff...

they also increased the cost of your health insurance! they give you a dime and they take a quarter..

[TopDaugIn2000]

yeah, prolly so. they'll probably tell me that on monday.

[oumartin]

if I'm not mistaking the average raise is 4% a year.

I don't know if i've gotten 4% in a lifetime

I'm the Site/System Admin for our MES system. We build those huge refridgerator-sized storage systems.

And thanks for the kind words...I didn't mean to take away from your happy day. WTG...for real!

Holy carp.

I spellt 'fridge' wrong, didn't I?

[TopDaugIn2000]

I was wondering what the average was.

I am now at the rate I asked for before taking the job. They met me half way during the negotiation process and told me they'd get me there soon. It took 6 months, but it was worth it. After all, they were REALLY good to me after my wreck (and I had only been there about 6 weeks at that point)

I can never remember how it's spelled.

that was me at my last job. SOOO frustrating.

they kept saying they couldn't give me a review "cause we don't know what your actual job description is, you do so much, so we can't really measure it". BULL****
