I once got a pay bump after solving a problem no one asked me to fix, totally unplanned. It made me rethink how compensation really works in hospitality. Have you ever had a surprise raise or bonus that came from something outside your formal job description?

I once got a really good employee review that resulted in a modest salary increase. It was totally unexpected and it meant a lot to me, and motivated me to continue providing wonderful customer service.

It’s such a good reminder that consistent effort and great service do get noticed, even when you’re not expecting it. Definitely a huge motivation boost.

Yes, I got an extra bonus for working for my company for more than 5 years. I thought that was really sweet of them to do that. I was really excited at that moment because I never gotten extra money for being at a job for a long period of time.

That is really sweet 🥹 loyalty bonuses don’t happen nearly enough. It hits different when you’re recognized just for sticking it out and growing with the company, totally get why that felt exciting.

Happy Wednesday everyone. I'm so excited, I have a recruiter call scheduled with @Meta for Administrative Partner position. I've been in my current employer role for 19 years and I'm nervous as heck. I haven't had to do an interview in so long. Can someone please tell me what to expect with the recruiter call? I'm assuming it will be mostly about the role, my skills and background? Do they ask salary expectations? I have no idea what to say for the salary question. Feedback appreciated. Thanks

I am thinking of leaving my stable full time job for a contract position (ongoing with no time frame) for a bigger raise (making an exra $20/hour) with a large tech company. I'll still get benefits through Aquent so it's not a huge loss. It just feels risky in terms of being a contractor and the potential for it to end at anytime. Seems like a good opportunity though to get my foot in the door and potentially apply for full time jobs later on

I work in higher education, for a private university in the Midwest, and will be asking for a promotion to Director of Social Media. I would like to gauge what salary or % increase I should be asking for.

I'm coming up on 1 year since I was promoted to Assistant Director. (I was promoted bc the previous director left, but the truth is I'm not assisting anyone, and I've been running our university's social media for the last 3 years, with stellar analytics EVERY year since taking over.) TIA!

Curious what the average salary is for Practice Manager is out there, and if I’m being paid appropriately. I’m a current Practice Manager in the Chicagoland area.

Is it common to negotiate software engineer salary at smaller companies? I know it’s common at FAANG, but what about for companies with around 200 engineers? I have a counter offer from my current company and on-site interviews scheduled for end of July with google and Amazon, but I’d prefer to go with the smaller local company if I can negotiate the salary (from offer letter) up another 5% or so.
