Casch 0 #1 June 8, 2007 I just had my performance review and found out I'm getting a 24% raise as of July 1st Technically I'll still be underpaid for my job in my area, but I also get my communication bills (cell/internet) reimbursed, and they are going to pay for any training/certifications I want which will increase my worth when the next salary evaluation comes around Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mnealtx 0 #2 June 9, 2007 Heck of a deal - the training reimburements alone are worth major $$$ I just got a whopping 2.2 percent raise... go, me!!! Best raise was probably around 5%... long haul communications isn't the field to go into if you want big raises.. Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

mamajumps 0 #3 June 9, 2007 We get annual raises at my job every Dec 31st. Last year I got 8% of my yearly salary which equates to $1.52 more per hour. I was shocked. My previous jobs, I have only gotten 50 cents at raise time. I also have a 12% vested pension at my job and totally amazing benefits! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1969912 0 #4 June 9, 2007 Assuming you mean without changing jobs. I got 17% a couple years outta college. From $40k to whatever it was. Once in a lifetime.

Shotgun 1 #5 June 9, 2007 Hmm, well I took about a 50% pay cut to move to California (where the cost of living was higher) to work on the dropzone for a while. But I've never had a raise that was large enough to be worth mentioning. Congrats on yours though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sharimcm 0 #6 June 9, 2007 I received an 18.5% raise at my last employer. Woo-fucking-hoo... Then, I got paid weekly for a few weeks after I no longer worked there. I think they just terminated me, so no more paychecks from them... Sucks...

ACMESkydiver 0 #7 June 9, 2007 Good for you!!! Um, I once got a raise to double my income. -They didn't mean to, they changed the compensation structure, so I busted my ASS working, and I actually made double my projected salary. Yeah they stopped that shit pretty quick. ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

airtwardo 7 #18 June 9, 2007 I almost doubled my salary once in the 90's. I was in aerospace as an hourly employee making in the mid 40's, putting in 60-70 hours a week!Promotions were announced at a big company meeting and 5 of us were to be moved up. The job I was slated for then, suddenly a week later, went to a brown nosing shit heel and I got the job HE was supposed to get...in a fucking cubical. (doing TPS reports ) I toughed it out for 6 months and finally said screw it I wanna go back on the floor...some glitch in the contract automatically made them turn my 'salary' into an hourly wage...YAHOO! Double the take home and next to no over time! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheBachelor 5 #22 June 11, 2007 About 80 percent. An old boss asked me to come back to her department. Told me to name my price. I thought my "demand" was too much, but she said "OK" immediately. Went from $110,000 to $200,000. Should have asked for more, probably would have gotten it.There are battered women? I've been eating 'em plain all of these years...

Muenkel 0 #23 June 11, 2007 I received a 70% raise after I re-wrote my job description and moved up 2 levels. I was management and I was reviewing all my employees job descriptions. It was at that time that I realized that mine was completely inaccurate. So, I re-wrote it and it got approved. BTW, I also re-wrote many of the job descriptions of the people who worked for me which resulted in higher pay for them also.
