Raise???
What’s that?
June 21, 2007 at 2:10 PM #61099sdrealtorParticipantI always thought the concept of raises was rather silly. Employer’s know that most people dread looking for jobs. They know most of their employees are too lazy or too afraid of rejection to chase a better life. The only real way to get a decent raise is to get promoted or find a new job.
Bottomline- If you want more, you need to go out and find it. If you wait for it to come to you, well… we all know how that goes.

Mine came in at 4% raise+ 22% bonus for the year (software engineering).
Wife got hers (different company 2% raise + 10% bonus for 6 months).
Is this about what folks are seeing here lately?

It would have been 3%, but employer took it back due to higher costs to them for a defined benefit retirement plan.

August 15, 2007 at 8:38 AM #75549matulaParticipantI got 0% raise and 5% percent bonus.
I asked my supervisor why I didn’t get a raise,
I got the old BS of “you are 99% tile of how much we
are paying you of what you do, you need to go to management
level if you want more money” spiel. I work as a hardware engineer. I think sdrealtor is right, you want more money? you gotta finda new place to work. Don’t wait for it.August 15, 2007 at 8:38 AM #75668matulaParticipantI got 0% raise and 5% percent bonus.
