I got a raise I think about 20 cents an hour at one job I did and I got asked by one of my co-workers how I was going to spend it I said that I would probably end up not taking my bike to work but the bus a couple more times a month. A couple of your supervisors overheard me and gave me a dirty look
My old district manager offered me a 50 cent raise and I had to pretend like it was life changing money. “Wow! And extra $20 per week is sure to pay off all my student loans!”
Same thing happened to me, they promised a 2$ raise if I get a license while working at a water processing plant. But at the last second cut it to 1.50$ (even withheld the raise money while "considering" it for two weeks) but I'm expected to jump for joy when they recently gave me... a 30 cent raise. This is Texas, by the way.
Yeah, it would be somewhere around $50. So Doogie Howser pulling a dollar bill out of his pocket and betting with it would be roughly like someone today pulling a $50 bill out of his pocket and betting with it.
Ah yes, your value to the company is only worth your parking / lunch. Other companies care about a living wage , but we have scared you enough to stay submissive.
When I was a kid in the 1970s I recall if anyone had a $100 bill it was a big deal. Not just to kids we really had no concept of money but adults were obviously impressed. Weekly wage was probably $200 so flashing half the weekly wage of most people was impressive I guess.
In proportion to what salary? If your salary is $10 per hour that is 10% raise. Employer still a cheap fuck. But the raise itself is great. A 10% raise is very generous. If your salary is $30, then the employer is shit
Even better, the person is salaried at $20,000 and the boss gave him a raise to $20,001. Of course, he expects them to work double time for no extra pay
you forget he wants the worker to perform 3 diffrent roles whit the focus of a worker performing just one role. (switching roles takes time and focus aka bad for performant). 3 workers performing 3 diffrent roles for better performant have each worker only do 1 role and the performance will be better.
Yoink! I'm keeping this. I offer, in fair trade, this fabulous creation recently discovered in an abandoned warehouse previously used to store Randall William Cook's special effects for 1987's The Gate. Enjoy responsibility!
Baller here with the 25 cents. My last one was 16 cents. Hospitals are so good. Luckily they don’t bill the patients I treat an insane amount. Oh wait.
Anyone working minimum wage(what is jt now? 15$?) , a 3$/h raise every year would still take them like a decade to have a "decent" wage around 45$/h. which is still low.
My salary doubled (45K to 100K/50$/h) since the pandemic. I got a raise of probably around 5-10$/h every year since 2020 and I still cant buy in the housing market.
The economy is really bad and anytime most people catch up to it, it gets exponentially worse.
When I was working for (insert big time company name here), they said only the top 10% of the workers were getting raises. You'd think those would be good raises then, right? Right?
I used to work in grocery. The last contract they negotiated before i quit gave us a 25-cent raise over 3 years. Their "big win" was that our medical was staying the same (company wanted to triple our deductible and double our out of pocket). We really need universal healthcare in this country, so companies can't hold that over us during negotiations.
We did and he said since we are employees of a school district our raises are linked to the Tax Cap in the area which is currently 2%. Therefore our raises can never exceed 2%. Which is a load of bullshit to me.
in 2023 people only get raises by jumping from company to company as they develop skills. You should check your skills on the market. also and I cannot stress this enough CALL YOUR LOCAL UNIONS AND SIGN THE FUCK UP, IF YOU DOTN HAVE LOCAL UNIONS MOVE
And that's probably ok if your base pay is ok. Personally I was stuck one place for 8 years and after that have boosted 1000/month by switching every couple years. Might have hit my cap now after 3 jumps, but I was way more than 1-2$ a year below my skills worth.
(SeeYaLaterMeth) ya hiring? Good for you though. But obviously you have no stockholders to take the money cuz they're the ones taking chances and doing the hard work.

$1 raise is $8 per day x 22 average work days per month = $176 per month. That is a game changer for many people.

That movie is supposed to be set around 1882. $1 at that time would only be worth between only $15-$316 depending on the site you use.

Employers want the focus, attendance and performance of someone who is well compensated and only has to work one job (but won’t pay for it).

$1 over $30 is still a 3% raise, and roughly a $2000/year bump. I wouldn't say not to that.

Inflation was 7. So it's a loss of 4% overall.

Same. I feel you buddy. One year it was a $0.10 raise. TEN CENTS.

So you too are 25 years behind inflation as well.

That wouldn't be bad if it was a raise every month - a raise of $3 / hour per year.
MisuseOfLiterally
That would still be pretty bad though
Promethianfire
You'd be making $90 / hr, or $187k /yr, before a $3 /hr raise fell behind the current rate of inflation. I don't think that's too bad.

3$/h yearly is far from fixing the issue

Thats 37 cents per hour. Union approved. Fucking Jokes

I'd ask that union rep what inflation is, betting it's more than 1.5%.
