Got a 0.96% raise for the year. I'm still staying there because of the great health insurance and it's mostly WFH though. I'll just work less to make up for it.

My last job (just left it), kept giving small raises every year. I made a chart showing my actual salary against real dollars over time and the very quickly falling downard trend over the four years of been there. The admins were just like "so?"
It took a bit, but I'm off to a new job. Fuck that place.

This is standard where I work but getting promoted gives a decent raise to make up for it. It's a shame for them that I don't want anymore responsibility though, so I just work less hard each year based on inflation.

My company gave across the board 7% raises in lieu of bonuses this year.

Can't have numbers if you don't count

Its been like 3 years since the last one for me and that was a .50 cent across the board one that was basically bullshit. Time before that was another 3 years and it was 3%... I did get 2 large raises in the past 10 years though, but those were basically given because we were already wayyyy behind the industry standard for our positions.

As a union member, yes.
must be nice to have a union that gives a shit about their members

I haven't had a pay rise since 2020. Instead my employer forced us to sign a fake "part time contract" so he can pay us 50% legally and the other 50% illegally (cash) so he doesn't pay taxes. I hate my job.

You're not alone.

I was once told “Now I never want to hear about a raise again.” like the sub-inflation raise was enough to cover the rest of my time there and the three years of no raises preceding it.

I got a pay raise, but I will get it gradually distributed in the next 6 years

Raises aren't supposed to cover inflation silly. How do you think they're supposed to turn a profit like that?

I agree with you, but in the meantime I find another job, I'm absolutely giving the bare minimum

I recognize this is harder said than done particularly in the market since at least 2008. Advice I got early in my career is to swap jobs on average every 3 years and negotiate for at least a 20% increase each time. So far it's worked pretty good.
