now i may mimic his movements while gesturing with my hands (inside of my office with the door closed, so no one thinks I'm crazy, of course) .

Lol, congrats man!

I got the worst raise ever this year. So insulting. Somehow I'm "maxed" out on what I can earn because of the alleged median salary for my role or some nonsense like that.

2/8/2017 4:27:00 PM

Congrats

2/8/2017 4:43:59 PM

nice, we might not get raises this year, havent heard. glad i dont need more

2/8/2017 5:02:11 PM

^^^ yeah, I hear ya man. I've definitely had years like that. Its all about where you are on the ratio I guess.


Current salary / average for your role (some ill defend group of people ) = your ratio = X

Then your company has to decide if X (how compensated you are for your role relation to the market) is worth giving you a raise depending on your performance. Seems like a great way to incentivize crummy raises for most employees, as long as they keep a few super talented people happy. So, define whatever distribution you want.... maybe 15% get awesome raises, 35% get pretty good raises, and 50% get shitty raises while you give them some garbage about market averages.

2/21/2017 4:50:14 PM

^sweet! Congrats man.

2/21/2017 7:31:35 PM

2% raise last year, no raise this year.

3/28/2017 5:05:29 PM

haha, nice. Happy to hear it bro

3/28/2017 5:24:51 PM

on the last week of a promotion cycle ... if I pass the review process, I'll get that GS-14

3/28/2017 6:11:46 PM

Yeah, I got a raise...of less than 2%.

Better than nothing I suppose.

3/29/2017 9:03:11 PM

3.45% here. that was basically the threshold i needed to not lose my shit, so I'll take it. I did also get some RSUs, which was a pleasant surprise and took me from neutral to content. Pretty grateful for those, really, since not everyone gets them.

3/30/2017 1:41:19 PM

15%

3/30/2017 1:50:04 PM

Have a feeling that's going to be me soon. Major turnover here lately and they aren't upping pay so it's seeming to snowball with more people leaving.

3/30/2017 3:41:59 PM

if you feel undervalued, get out. i wish i had done it sooner.

3/30/2017 3:52:14 PM

3/30/2017 4:12:02 PM

3.2% raise, I'm happy with it. Got a big promotion 2 years ago so can't expect too much for awhile

Better benefits too. #successkid

Interviewed for an new job today...it will be a large pay increase on an hourly/daily basis, but it's part time. I'd say best case, it'll match my pay as a systems engineer. Worst case, at least a 15% pay cut...

But it'll be here in town, where I'm not commuting 130 miles round trip, and I'll only be working about half-time! Screw it, I'm hitting the beach.

4/13/2017 6:15:52 PM

Accepted new job today...it'll be a 50% pay increase for the first couple of months of training, and after that it'll be working 2.5-3 days per week.

15% pay raise came in today! And a bonus potential of 10% vs 5%.

Congrats duke

4/18/2017 7:43:13 PM

5% for the second year in a row and about 20% bonus

2/20/2018 2:26:10 PM

I wish I got bonuses

2/20/2018 2:59:47 PM

That amount could easily be half of what it was if the company didn't meet goals, though.

Hey, congrats man!

2/20/2018 4:46:53 PM

wooo bonus at the end of the month, too bad uncle sam wants to take half as if its free money or I won a game show....

2/20/2018 4:50:13 PM

I finally got a good pay raise!

I had to switch companies to do it, but hey!

2/20/2018 5:15:15 PM

Yea got my second paycheck of new job last Friday. Went like four years without a raise (aside from those passed by the NC Legislature) so not much upward mobility. 50% raise was pretty fucking awesome to see how much more my take home is.

2/21/2018 8:37:16 AM

Last year I got a 2.65% raise. This year it was 3.45%.

2/21/2018 10:17:33 AM

3.5% this year. Could've been better, could've been worse. Just had a round of layoffs, so just glad to still be around.

2/18/2019 10:25:18 AM

got 4%. I'm alright with that. w00t!

2/18/2019 11:03:34 AM

Noice!

2/18/2019 11:22:10 AM

Got a 10% raise couple weeks ago. That on top of my salary from job that I got last year means that I am making about 75% more than I was in 2017 at my last job.

2/18/2019 12:53:43 PM

It might have only been incremental, but I count all raises as wins

3/5/2019 10:42:01 PM
