My biggest raise came after I took on extra leadership shifts and helped streamline patient charting, which seriously cut down our paperwork time. I definitely earned it by showing initiative and making life easier for the whole team made a big difference. Management noticed, and that pushed my raise through.

When I went from being a social worker to an administrator at a hospital, my salary doubled. I guess that's not saying much when I went from $40,000 a year to $80,000, but it was huge for my quality of life.

25%. I deserved it and a whole lot more. It came after a change in ownership eliminated a bonus program that, at the time, accounted for about 40% of my annual pay. My base pay was 60k, my bonus for the year would've been right around 40k, but since the ownership change took place in November, I got none of it. The new owners were generous enough to increase my salary to $75k with no bonus opportunity during my performance review the following January. I was out of there a month later.

I usually get decent raises every six months to a year. But when I was promoted, I received an 8% raise. So that was the largest raise I ever received at one time. And considering the amount of work and responsibility I took on I can honestly stay it wasn’t enough.
