Someone showed me their raise letter: $600 for the year. That’s basically one Starbucks a week. What’s the funniest way you’ve calculated your raise in real-life terms?

As I explain to my wife, sometimes it’s new Porsche money, sometimes it’s just new Corvette money. I try to be grateful regardless.

I got $2k raise. My property tax went up by $2.5k let alone inflation. Ya… fun

I can relate

Inflation was at 2.1% at the time, and I got 1%. So less than half inflation.

More sad than funny, I suppose.

Got $3k raise last year. Better than $0 raise I got one time at previous company.

Raise was only a 3% cola increase for years. I could still afford to get a basic manicure every two weeks

1.5 tanks of gas per month.

Hello Guys,

I joined
Cognizant recently, the project interview calls which I am getting is not from my base location.
I have the location constraint, should I wait for the right opportunity or raise this concern to ADP team so they can look in to it?

As per ADP policy, one should not have any constraints and take the project as FCFS basis.

I’m going to be a dad! But I have some questions. When should I tell my manager/teams? I’m up for senior promotion this year, will this impact that promotion? For those of you that work in public what tips do you have for managing your work and family responsibilities? For context, my wife, once she’s done with maternity leave, will only work 25-30 hours a week. I know working in public and having a new born is probably going to be a lot to juggle, but I have to make it work.

I am planning on asking for a raise in my base salary and I am unsure what the market price would be for my skills at a staffing agency. I am in the top producer at my company with over 50 producers. I generate an average of $120k in GM per quarter. I am approaching my first year end review and I am currently at a base salary of $70,000 and I have 3 years of prior experience in the industry. What should I be asking for in this situation?
