What’s your raise this year?

[UCGal]

It’s nice to say that you can change jobs to get the increase… not so much in engineering or the building trades right now… there are job losses at the moment.

My husband is an architect… the firm he works for put everyone on a part time schedule hoping to keep the doors open till commercial real estate starts picking up again. They’re eking by with hospital work and tenant fit outs. But it’s a tight market right now.

I’m an engineer – most of the big employers are either laying off or holding steady.

My husband got a 3% raise in order to keep him from quitting. (He’s needed on some projects). I got a 2% raise. Wholesale inflation was 11% – so we’re not keeping up.

Resumes are out there – but it’s not exactly a good market for changing jobs unless you’re willing to change careers.

I agree with your post UCGal.

My raise this year will be about $800 month semi-passive income improvement from a rental unit I am building.

2% for me this year. I’ve been told that some in our group received no raises. However, I’m on a 60/40 split for my On-Target Earnings which means that my salary is 60% of my yearly OTE. The other 40% is commissions. So far I am on track to make my goals. Interesting, about 3 weeks ago I complained to my manager that my commissions for the first six months of this year were 30% for the same period last year. All of a sudden I am getting a whopping commission this month that brings me up to date and takes me over quite a bit above for the same period last year. Even though I know that I’ve been busting my butt and that I earned it I thought it interesting that it did conincide with my being a squeaky wheel gets the grease.
