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

[Max Power]

less than inflation.... thanks Obama. Glad we're handing out more contracting gigs to government aids these days.

 

[elguapo07]

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

Cant see the line, can you Russ.

 

[avoiding injuries]

Whatever it is, my boss will hoo and haa about how good it is. Then I'll talk to the guys I work with and find out they got about the exact same.

Mary Christmas!

COLA + merit which is usually 1-5% so 4-8%

 

[James Daulton]

One of the many reasons I'm leaving my company of 30 years is that leadership started using COLA increases to balance the budget.  We've had three in the past six years, one was 2% and the other two were 1.5%.  Penny wise/pound foolish has become the way of the realm here.

 

[NutterButter]

Won't get until Jan, but typically get around 3%.  As long as its at least inflation, that's all I need.

Perhaps we work for the same ####yy Co.

 

[Chemical X]

also, no raises, but CEO exercises 17mill in stock options.

 

[Nugget]

Just had our compensation announcements this week.  

Merit - 2.92% - would have felt better psychologically at 3%

Bonus - 76% of target - we had 10B+ in profit - 2nd best year ever.   This one is affecting morale.

Ford still giving out pensions?

Maybe you didn't get the big bonus, but it is still better than the shaft.

 

[tonydead]

4% 

 

[ZenMaster]

Raise - 3.2%

Profit sharing - 20%

Bonus - 12K

Stock - combination of restricted/non-qualified options

Ford still giving out pensions?

Not to anyone hired after 2003.  I started in 2006.  

 

[shadyridr]

Got a promotion. About 13%

 

[DocHolliday]

Raise - 3%

Bonus $4500 (25% of target - Down year for the company but should be back to the normal 80 or 90% range next year) 

Stock - combo of restricted/non-qualified options

 

[Chemical X]

raise was 2.5%, incentive comp was 22%.

 

[moleculo]

2% increase and a 2% bonus (should have been 20%).  We had a pretty ####ty year last year, so I'm happy to get that much.

 

[dickey moe]

You think inflation is really less than 3%?

 

[dickey moe]

3%. No Christmas bonus this year.

Maybe I'll go to the movies...BY MYSELF

 

[Cjw_55106]

You think inflation is really less than 3%?

I'm not a math and figures guy...but how do you measure it? From what I've seen online, yes, inflation has easily been below 3% since 2008 (exactly 3% in 2011)

[BobbyLayne]

Just under 13%. First raise in 3 years, so not so hawt on an annualized basis. The only other raise I've received in the last 6 years was 15%.

No bonus, but holding a good sized equity stake. If we sell at a good multiple, I'll spend the last third of my life at a non-profit. 

Pretty good chance I'll be completely out of commerce / increasing shareholder value within the next 6-12 months.

 

[Quez]

2%. 

 

[NutterButter]

You think inflation is really less than 3%?

Sure.   That's what they tell me.  What say you?

 

[shadyridr]

You think inflation is really less than 3%?

We've been using an assumption less than 3% for years now. Actuary here

 

[Cjw_55106]

From what I have heard, the standard was down to 2.5% this year. 

I got 3%. 

 Im hoping it doesn't matter in a month when I should be getting a new job within the company. 

 

[xulf]

Sure.   That's what they tell me.  What say you?

The Consumer Price Index is probably something you should keep an eye on https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/CUUR0000SA0?output_view=pct_12mths

scratch that - 5% bonus 

 

[Keerock]

I was promised a promotion last August.  Still haven't seen it or any corresponding increase

 

[skol asylum]

2%

Bonuses? Yeah, not for us little guys.

 

[Slapdash]

20% this year.  Same bonus though

 

[jerry jones]

Ugh...30 year employee, 4 years ago the company put in salary caps. I used to get 4-5% annual raise, now nothing. On the plus side my base is double the starting rate for my position...so I got that going for me ?

 

[urbanhack]

new title and free weed.

no raise.

 

[Christo]

I gave myself a raise of $29k last year.
