How big of a raise did you get? (1 Viewer)

[Angry Beavers]

Spinoff of how much did make... So how big of a raise did you get?  What is typical where you work?

 

[In The Zone]

2.5%

This is pretty much what we get every year.

 

[NewlyRetired]

I only have a part time retirement job but I received by far my biggest percentage raise ever this year.  I went from $12.15 an hour to $15 an hour.  I think that is in the 24% range.

Let's hope that math isn't on your list of responsibilities at the part time gig.

I won't find out until mid-February. Last year it was 3.3%. Most raises in my group are 2-6% but people will get 0% if they're in the salary band for their job grade and they're ranked in the bottom 10-20%.

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Started new gig in July and thier fiscal year ends in July so guess I'll find out in another 7 months or so

 

[Mr. Pickles]

We don't get raises until the end of Q1. Our review process is a mess.

what did I do wrong?

12 * 1.24 (24% raise) = $14.88

Hopefully needing to be precise isn't part of your part time gig.

 

[Peyton Marino]

12 * 1.24 (24% raise) = $14.88

did you just guess a random % and check to make sure it was close?

sorry, this is going over my head.  I am just going to assume I am an idiot here and not understanding what you are saying.  I was making a little over $12 (like $12.15 when I got the raise.)  I am pretty sure it was in the 24% range but I will just end this since I am obviously missing something.

 

[NewlyRetired]

ok I guess I am an idiot.

You guys tell me what I got for a raise.

Old salary $12.15 an hour

New Salary: $15 an hour

23.4567%

 

[Spike]

We get 2% every year.  (Non-profit health organization.)

when you said it was $12 to $15, 25% is the obvious answer (3/12).  I don't take issue with ballparking, I just thought it was peculiar in that situation since 25% makes more sense to use as a ballpark than 24% (and it happened to be the correct answer in that case).

 

[NewlyRetired]

23.4567%

thanks.  I said in the 24% "range". in my original post.  This number I believe rounds up to 24% so close enough for me but for those needing extra significant digits in their exactness for this poll, this was my raise

Looks to be about $2 and 85 cents if my math is right, will need MoP for confirmation though.

I will edit my post to add in the extra .15 so it is not so confusing.

 

[TheAristocrat]

Employer found out that I was looking for a new job in February and gave me a 10% raise and 5% bonus.

I'll probably get a 3-5% raise in Feb/March. Bonus is doubtful but possible.

 

[Angry Beavers]

Wife got 3%

I got 6%

I was just curious about what seems to be the "norm"...

I'll tell you in March - that's our EOY

ETA : Prob 2.5%

I was just ####### with you my young, retired friend.

 

[xulf]

3%

 

[skol asylum]

Usually around 2.5%. Barely keeps up with inflation.

 

[Cliff Clavin]

Capped out in grade so likely just 2-3%.

 

[ragincajun]

-1%

 

[wormburner]

I got a membership to the Jelly of the Month Club.

 

[eoMMan]

Remy LaCroix gives me a raise.

 

[Zow]

Not a raise, but I'll be getting a much higher draw on my fee sharing percentage. 

 

[El Floppo]

bupkis.

 

[RUSF18]

I actually asked for a pay decrease. Figure that means if they give it to me, I win.

 

[Ned]

Same here.  The whole process is a joke.

 

[tonydead]

You would have gotten a much better distribution if you went 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9+.  2-4% is going to capture most as inflation is at the lower end of that.

Good news guys - just put this in front of my accountant, he has confirmed $2.85 for me here. MoP has also PM'd me, his numbers are close enough, so I'm sticking with $2.85.

Clark, that's the gift that keeps on giving the whole year. 

 

[BassNBrew]

Roughly 55% give or take a few points and depending on what I give out for Christmas bonuses and spend on new computers this month.

 

[DaVinci]

2.88%

Thanks, Obama.

 

[DocHolliday]

3%.  That is the max these days at my company.  

 

[Chemical X]

my company has changed philosophy recently......away from raises, focus on incentive based compensation.

no raises last 2 years, but bonuses of 20-25%.  I am ok with that, I mean my company struggles to earn $1billion a quarter in profit, so we all need to tighten our belts.

 

[Cold Dead Hands]

Close to 40%

There with ya, 20% bump. I've doubled my salary in 3.5 years. I have a feeling this is the last year they'll be able to keep me.

 

[Christo]

I don't get raises, I eat what i kill.

You need a better accountant. You're paying him to fudge the numbers, not run them accurately.

[dickey moe]

LOL

 

[sbonomo]

Raise, what is that?   

 

[TheAristocrat]

Raise, what is that?   

Are we still pre-flop?

 

[BassNBrew]

Are we still pre-flop?

Until inauguration day.

 

[TheAristocrat]

Until inauguration day.

Agreed.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

I'm not going to embellish but it's been a great year in the MOP house. 

We're gonna miss the Obamas.
