You’re actually earning less in relation to inflation

^ and just like nobody remembers how many times their flight has landed early, nobody says "hey my raise was 3x inflation this year" when it outpaces

I got 1.1% at my first job out of college, never started applying and interviewing harder

They gave me a 2.5% “merit increase” after I told them I thought the raises they were giving to my reports were too low due to inflation. I immediately started looking for another job and put my notice in 2 weeks later. This is such an advantageous market for employees, you are doing yourself a disservice by staying. If they truly valued you, they wouldn’t be so cheap.

@ PwC1 I actually love my job, and that’s really hard to come by, so it’s not a dealbreaker (unless it becomes the norm.) But it was still ridiculous.

I would rather get no raise than this punt. I mean, it is a gesture, but a gesture of nickles and dimes not good faith. If you feel that way too you should communicate it, or else employer is going to think they sent the good message.

They probably sounded like it was so hard to get that… in this economy… most didn’t get any… blah blah

I have been at the current hospital I work at in administration for about 11 years now. I am treated great, love the people and love the hours. They allow me to really create my own schedule based on my needs and have taken great care of me over the past 11 years. The only problem is that our CEO has stated that we will never be a company that gives yearly raises, merit based or cost of living. I have been offered another job with a competing hospital but scared to leave. Advise?

Need advice. Leadership originally referred to us as Specialists. For the past month or so, they've been telling us we're Project Managers in absolutely no uncertain terms.

But they have told us flat-out (even when asked directly) that we won't get a salary change or even just a title change. What should we do? It seems unethical at the very least.

When I was switching in May, some HRs(from PwC and L&T) had told that they won't be able to continue with me, since my existing offer and expectation exceeded what they can offer for a 3y exp, which was mere 15 LPA though.

So, how do these freshers (not from NITs or IITs mind you) get hired before even getting out of the college or 1-1.5 year exps, get hired with upwards of 30 LPA? Where can I find such jobs?
