4% raise and its looking like a 5-7% productivity bonus based on sales for the past 3 months..

Posted: 2/27/2017 3:14:51 PM EDT

Put that pole away before you get in trouble.

Now the poll will be interesting.

I am so far under market that they typically do a 6-10% equity bump to keep me around.

It would go $1/hr in the early years to $0.75/hr in the later years until a coworker forgot to keep in mind that he wasn't supposed to discuss what he was making. He left his PDF of his pay up on a computer.

$4/hr more than me, and we were equal performers in the $1M+/year sales category (about $300,000 in profit generated for the company by each of us).

When I found that out, I gave them my 2 weeks.

They decided I was worth more, until they came up with a policy of not letting MFGs give spiffs out to the employees. Trying to deny me of almost $1400 from one MFG is probably illegal and it's why I won't ever say anything good about them.

Someday I might actually tell arfcom who I used to work for. Not that anyone would care

1.4%

They actually lowered the maximum wage for my position. It previously was high enough that I had a little room to increase. Now with the change I am above the max.... Soooooo.... I will never see a raise.

Currently looking..

1.5 to 1.9%, depending how the company is doing.

Unfortunately , ive gotten to the top of the worker pay scale where I'm at

I get 3% . If they give raises.

Doesn't matter how much profit I make them, I get 3%.

Last year in two days I made the amount of my raise and bonus in profit for them .

But we have to buy bicycles to save the planet, and we pay a mentally handicapped guy 20k a year to "run" a snack bar in the office .

Contract is for 3% yearly at my primary career.

I haven't seen a raise in four years from my secondary gig (they stopped giving yearly performance reviews altogether). This despite them piling on substantial additional responsibilities, cutting benefits and cutting hours most of which has happened in the last year. I have a resignation letter for them saved on my PC. Every day I get a little closer to attaching it to an e-mail to HR and hitting send.

I had a good year.

6% pay raise

What about a non-promotional raise?

Posted: 2/27/2017 3:48:23 PM EDT

1%, after an excellent performance review.

Company earnings were up 24% YoY, same as last year when I got 1.2%

~40% ish.

Posted: 2/27/2017 3:51:53 PM EDT

3%.

Last year or the year before, they reviewed our department's pay vs market average, and I got an 8% raise. Now THAT was nice.

Same as the past 12 years.

I am making the same now as I was when I started this job in 2005.

I am an idiot for still being here.

My "raise" was actually less than the CPI, which really amounts to a pay cut.

My annual raise was raising my butt off the bed every morning and getting out and making more sales. I never got raises, even when I worked in non commission jobs. I got promotions. Twice I went from a entry level employee walking off of the street to assistant manager in two to three months, and then store manager within six. District manager within a year in one. I never stayed in one position that long.

I would get in and out of the car business depending on how the economy was. Years that it was bad, I would go into a chain store either automotive or furniture. I would keep bird dogging for friends that were still in the car business, which means I got around 20 different people's cards, and signed my name to the back, and the person I would send in to buy a car would give that card to the salesman. I would get $50 if the deal was good, if it was a mini , I got $25. I bird dogged for friends that sold other brands , and ones at buy here pay here lots. If we couldn't get someone bought because of bad credit, I would give them a couple of cards and tell them they could get help there. Same thing, if it wasn't a Ford , Merc, Lincoln, Cadillac product that they finally settled on, I did the same. Just about made as much money doing that. It really helped in the slow months.

2-4% depending on the performance of the company. Bonus can be up to 8% depending on the performance of the company.

7%, because I bust my ass and am really good at my job. I work 2 levels above me and sometimes have to get smacked down.

Dunno.

When you run your own store......it's murky to know how much you actually take home.

Last time it was 8% , but this year is over due and I meet with new boss tomorrow to go over increase. I have asked for 10% , but most likely will get 5%

Same here. Handed a pink slip by the boss.

Received a Fed job offer the same day, though.

We do bonuses, I got 25K last year. This has been a better year so I am looking forward to see what I get.
I am not sure what would work out better tax wise, a raise or bonus?

My company always gives 2-3%.

2% if you suck and 3% if you are an outstanding performer.

I'm salary. 3% this year. I'm happy.

I suspect the raise the OP received was deficient because he doesn't know the difference between pole and poll....

I haven't seen a raise since around 2013ish when the oilfield took a shit. Im lucky to have a job much less raises.

I'll know in about an hour. I am starting to freak out a bit guys..i have bad anxiety as it is as far as my job goes so every March 1st it is turned up to 11.

My branch managers office is next to mine , I am due to go in next. I feel sick,nausea, sweaty, etc.. hell I could be fired, that is my fuking anxiety talking...

I hate this shit, I pray for the lord to walk with me in there today guys.

The company stock price is up like .12 cents today to almost $60 A share. Wall Street loves the company and our dividend was increased to .13 a share.

My branch finished #1 in N.America, S. America and Canada.

With all that said, I am going to puke , I am about 5 minutes from being called in.

Good thread btw..

0% here, and our employees in CA are getting a 1.5% pay cut. Our SUTA taxes in CA went up by 3%, and we split the difference with the employees. It went up so much because we had so many people quit. I think we were paying 3.4% before this increase! What does management think is now going to happen?z
