I probably shouldn't really vote since mine are based on performance or anything, but rather on what Congress decides to pass in that years bills. I think it was 3.5% this year, but for next??? I just keep thanking my lucky stars that I have a good job, have room for advancement, and keep trudging along.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Our company limits year end salary review increases to 9% (unless you have been promoted to a new position). This year I got 9%, so I'm pretty happy.

In the last 4 years, I've had two 10%, one 7%, and one 8% - and the company "average" is 4%.

In the 4 and a 1/2 years that I've been working here, I've had (2) 7% increases, (1) 5% increase and my last one, was a 10% increase. Can't wait to see what my next one's going to be!

Due a freeze and cutbacks, plus a significant lowering of our top pay rates for what are referred to a "support personnel" (i.e., clerks and admins) I had not had a raise in 10 years--until this March, when I received the princely sum of 1%. Until that time, my work was considered the equivalent of a first-class mechanics' but apparently not any more........trying not to sound bitter.

Dee,
No raise in 10 years? Why do you stay there? Is the job market really bad in your area? That is a crime! I can't believe it! You bet I'd be bitter, but more likely I'd be gone! I hope you can find something else and FAST!

Deedeeb:
Why in heaven's name are you still there? Not only do they not compensate you accordingly but it sounds like they don't even respect you or what you do?
Pardon my nosiness, but is there some reason you've remained with this company for 10 lonnnnnnnnnnnnggggg years without a raise, only to be given a measly 1% increase? Well that was just purely insulting. I know that sometimes we have to do what we have to do, but I firmly believe that we should be duly compensated for the work that we do.
You should have received something if for no other reason than your loyalty!!
Final question...Do you plan on staying?

ments haven't gone toward calculating my pension. (That is changing in 2002). It's the old story: am I better off here or not?
(PS Thanks for your support)

I recently was promoted to Lead Administrator and received a 30% raise. The company treats administrative personnel very well with the annual norm for raises being 8-15%. The percentage for management like myself is higher so I am so grateful to have this job -- it's something to look forward to and it makes a person feel good to be recognized financially for their hard work. That hasn't always been the case for me.

Sorry, I was saying that since DH has no benefits, I have mostly stuck here for the bennies (as a former cancer patient, it is tough for me to get coverage elsewhere, plus my benefits include life insurance, which I can't get any other way now). I am doing medical transcription at home, and as soon as I can replace a reasonable amount of my income I'm gone. Since the merger with a Chicago firm, there have been layoffs (woo hoo, offer me a package!) so I have determined that I am still better off here for now. I still appreciate the support though.

Deedeeb,
I knew there must be some logical explanation for why you were still there. I wish you the best. I'm sorry you've had to go through so much and then have the added stress of never getting a raise.
Sending positive vibes your way that you get an awesome severance package ~~~~^^^^^~~~~^^^^~~~~

deedeeb -- that really stinks! Unfortunately, I know the situation you are in. My brother had to stay at his job (14 years now) because his son became diabetic and would not have been picked up by any other insurance company if my bro changed jobs. Fortunately the job got better for him - but he was sweating bullets a few years ago when they were bought! Since then he's made himself indespensible to them to ensure his stability!
