Thread: What is the biggest raise you have gotten?

While still staying the same linear position with the same company? My current position started me off at like 10.50 an hour, and through the course of 3 years I have worked up to 13.96. I took two classes last year (which the company ended up paying for,) and I found out today that I am getting another pretty big raise. Should pan out to an extra $6K a year. My face did one of these = when they told me.


Same job description, same responsibilities, same people working under me, same people working above me.

Now I might actually be able to afford this trannyman trans that I want to get!

Congrats!

Biggest I ever got was $5.50 an hour more. I quit where I work now about 5 years into working there (been there 15 now) and they called me three times, each time higher until I finally caved and came back.

I got a 44.8% raise the first of this year plus a bonus for the first time since Ive been there. For whatever reason, they (the company) did a market analysis and deemed me underpaid. So within weeks of getting my merit raise they called me back in and said my pay would be adjusted to better reflect that of my peers industry wide.

I get ~$12.50/hr, raised from $7.25/hr.
Problem is that I only work 10 hrs/wk because of school. :/

I was just offered a promotion and took it, so w/ that I got a 4.00/hour raise from 14.25/hr. It's cool because it is actually more than I am supposed to make per best buy guidelines.

welp....I have gotten an annual 8% raise this past year, and expect another 4% added on this coming April. I did get an 11.6% bonus check this past month....paid for Xmas and paid off a car.
