gotten vs promised is a big diff.

promised 10-20% usually. get usually under half that. its the companies performance, the economy, the weather.... the excuses.

in the past was paid a consistent 10% when i was younger. nice small firm. highest that got was $10k. I make twice that now (its been a while) and i dont think i will ever see $10k bonus ever again. So yeah. to get $20k+ i would have to bury a body or something....

I have a question, I got a contract role through a recruiter. Initially the recruiter offered the hourly pay rate which was the minimum in my range. Now I got an offer from the company. Now without me asking her she increased the hourly wage to the maximum range I asked. Which makes me doubt if the company increased it or she knew the rate all along but gave me the lower rate ?
