this is my new favorite gif.

[–]NoDiggityNoDoubt 5 points6 points ago

I hope the raise after three years was at least 15%, and the bonus enough to compensate for lack of the previous raises.

[–]sailingonward 4 points5 points ago

Yeah OP, give us some numbers!

[–]WombatDominator[S] 5 points6 points ago

Haha it was only a 4.5% raise, but really it was so unexpected I couldn't help but be happy. The bonus was due to us going over last quarter's projected sales figure which has only happened twice before.

[–]banned_andeh 5 points6 points ago

So basically you're keeping up with inflation.

[–]WombatDominator[S] 7 points8 points ago

Little bit under, sadly.

[–]Cphilli45 3 points4 points ago

I feel like employees should get a raise every year to compensate for annual inflation...

[–]dademon 0 points1 point ago

Most of us get raises every year.

Most of the time, the insurance premiums go just a little bit higher, though, so you end up making less anyway.

[–]UndergroundLurker -1 points0 points ago

I'm pretty sure, mathematically, that's impossible. Whole-scale that would become a source of inflation. But maybe not if you ponzi scheme it with first-time workers.

[–]renderless 1 point2 points ago

That would never be a source of inflation. Unless the employers themselves were increasing the money supply, which the last time I checked, oh I don't know, in elementary economics, that's now how it works.

[–]travisthetrain 1 point2 points ago

Numbers or it didn't happen

[–]nexemos 1 point2 points ago

My dad has worked the same job for 23 years and never gotten a raise.

Granted his pay is salary+commission, he still has been #1 salesman in his company for the past year and there are other salesmen who still get a higher pay.

I can't wait for the day he calls to tell me he got a raise

Anyways, good on you man It's awesome you stuck around with the company

[–]teious 0 points1 point ago

Got a raise yesterday after working 2 months the same job. 25% raise =D

But no fucking bonus =(

[–]sundevilfb88 -1 points0 points ago

No way! Tell me more!

[–]teious 0 points1 point ago

I'm an intern. I'll just start receiving lunch moneys. And it's almost 25% of what I normally get and spend on lunch. So it's like a pay raise...

[–]Mr122 0 points1 point ago

That's the bowl they make you put your keys in at airport security.

[–]fossil98 1 point2 points ago

Ein? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jL18kdFYITg

[–]PenisBakeMeAPancake 1 point2 points ago

The more I see them, the more I want a goddamn corgi.

[–]kareemabduljabbq 1 point2 points ago

got an employee excellence award, finished my degree, and 5 years at the same place.

got same raise as everyone else when merit raises were reinstalled.

fuck everything.

[–]FlashedBlaze 0 points1 point ago

At least you aren't making minimum wage like me. It sucks to be full time student and part time fast food worker.

[–]SC0TTBL4M -1 points0 points ago

One of the best gifs on the internet, but the text in it is wholly unnecessary.

[–]SlimeQSlimeball 0 points1 point ago

We're unionizing and the company and union (a large telephone company) are FUCKING us.

I will make more money in either 1 or 2 more years, less sick time, could have someone above me get laid off and bump me with one week notice, our medical will be cheaper for 2 years then get more expensive than it is now.

Regarding more money, the position will never pay more than 850/wk plus 2.25% a year raise... or at least until the next contract negotiation.

Well I have two children in school, a wife, myself, rent, one car payment, insurance for two cars, two cell phones, internet and tv, credit card debt, food, the usual stuff, and live in a moderately expensive area and drive 40 miles round-trip 5-6 days a week to work.

[–]BlastMeBagpipes -1 points0 points ago

Sounds like you suck at your job and they gave you them minimum just to stick around.

[–]Stevazz 0 points1 point ago

That shit happens in the Sims in like, 2 days.

[–]Neoflare 0 points1 point ago

Retroactive raises/bonuses are basically how I save for expensive things every year or two.

[–]skottfree 0 points1 point ago

Not to be a downer, but your company is raping you.

[–]menageafoie 0 points1 point ago

congratulations!

[–]gkiltz 0 points1 point ago

How much? 20-25c/ hr??

[–]Comet_rider -2 points-1 points ago

It's just too adorable how his eyes immediately follow the one rogue kibble that escaped the bowl.

[–]princessaurus_rex -3 points-2 points ago

[–]Scarmanz -1 points0 points ago
