2% raise due to COVID and funding, this was the best they can do. The following week 4 ACDs were promoted to CDs and 2 CDs were promoted to GCDs. Not saying they weren’t deserving, but the whole “lack of budget” was BS.
That’s my exact position right now. ACD salary cd role :/
Rising Star
A long time ago, I got a $1 raise as a reward for bringing my boss a chick fil a chicken biscuit one morning. Finance dept thought it was a joke. And I think it caused a lot more trouble than it was worth. But I still got it. 💪🏼
I once got a raise so small I didn't even realize I'd gotten one. My ECD one day said, "congrats on the raise!" And I responded in earnest with "what raise?" It was an awkward conversation.
$2500 is not all that uncommon when you have team members making say $50k on the junior side. That’s 5%. Raises are typically approved at a % of salaries not lump sums.
Considering so many people are unemployed and waiting in lines for food banks, I don’t complain about my pay. I’ve had this same situation full time at a struggling agency and it sucks but at least during a pandemic you got a raise at all?
I would think/hope the family would understand the same. It sucks for sure that we lose out in the long run just due to timing but it just is what it is.
Depends on the circumstances...I was pretty happy to get a 2k after my first year of my first job 🤷♀️
$2500 doesn’t tell us much. What percent of your salary does that represent? How much were you making before? $2500 raise on $180k is not much, but on $30k it’s substantial.
Most of the raises I’ve gotten over the past 30 years were in the $2k-$3k range.
Nope. Average of 4 years between raises.
I once got an offer to partially expense my cell phone when I was a junior instead of a raise I was promised 😂
Management pretended to forget my raise. My boss felt bad so he got the cell phone reimbursement approved instead. The irony is that it would have cost me more money to leave my family plan to start a phone account under the company discount program 🤦🏻♂️
Oh that’s good. I need to start doing that
My first job back in 2010 gave me a 1% raise on a $30K salary because of “budget concerns”. So $300 pre-tax and after taxes it was about $9 extra in each paycheck.
Oof. When it’s that little why do they bother? Is it because they think it’ll make you happy enough to stick around?
havent had a raise in 3 years. you’re lucky. and never tell your family or friends about compensation. nobody’s business but your own.
I got a similar one after over 2 years at my company, and trying to leverage another offer, and being previously encouraged to ask for a raise. It was just the final straw to realize that the good didn’t outweigh the bad at my company, and I’m now at a company that I am much much happier.
That’s my problem, I’m very loyal even if it’s hurting me. I just get really attached to my co-workers and hate the thought of starting over.
I got one for about that much and I didn’t notice for 6 months. I wasn’t expecting one so it was a nice surprise once I finally found out!
I got $500
Whoa...You win!
That sounds about right. What I've experienced is that group leads receive a sum of money and they can either divide it to give smaller amounts (around $2,500) to more individuals or choose to rewards 1-2 individuals with a larger sum which means the rest of the team has to wait until the next potential raise period. It's always a challenge to decide if you reward more team members (but the amount may be a slap in the face) or reward 1-2 other team members (and unfortunately not be able to reward other team members that are just as deserving of a raise)
“Is that a normal amount?” 😂 sorry the question itself is funny. (And I’m a person sorely in need of a raise and I don’t even have what you got)
