Will you get a raise this year?

My pay rise kicked in 2 weeks ago, after tax it's â‚¬15 extra a week. Work as a specialist in the food sector.

Nope. In my job since 2014 and on the exact same salary. I'm a chartered surveyor in the private sector so been through the mill job wise since the ar$e fell out of it nearly 10 years ago. I earn slightly less than I did in 2006.

Finance. Got a promotion last week.11,500 raise 7k bonus. Though have been working 10 years in same job to get this level with very minor raises along the way.

AndyBoBandy · 31-01-2017 8:24am

Energy services: would expect 2%-3% this year on top of a 15% bonus

Working in distribution, more chance of the company going under than there is of me getting a wage.

About 12 years ago, I made an off the cuff remark about looking for a new job to another employee, a few days later, I was called up to the offices and out of the kindness of their own hearts gave me a 20% rise.

Working in IT, underpaid and probably not as got one last year. Unless I leave at which point, I'll get a nice raise.

BetsyEllen · 31-01-2017 8:56am

Private. All get around 1.5-2% a year plus a bonus of around 10-15%.
You only get a 'proper' pay rise when promoted.
I was promoted last year, 5k increase and then a 2% company increase came a week after so that worked out nicely.

I'm happy enough with my salary anyway, obviously I'd take more but I am paid fairly for the work I do and skills that I have.

I changed roles internally last September and got a little bump in salary so I'd imagine that would be used to say "that's your bump", but I'll still probably get another jump to bring it to 5% I reckon, plus a bonus.
I work in the UK, not back home.

ILikeBoats · 31-01-2017 10:15am

Yeah the annual salary review ~3%

RiseToMe · 31-01-2017 10:21am

No because my boss is greedy, heartless, overpowered asshole. Also I'm self employed.

What an asshole of a boss! You should leave

BrokenArrows · 31-01-2017 10:27am

Probably not. However ive been interviewing for jobs, so if i get a decent offer then my current company will probably match it or at least put in a raise.

Lovely Bloke · 31-01-2017 11:47am

Got an eight grand bonus last June, and a bump of about 1.5%

I'll get that same bump this year, and probably a bigger bonus, as the company, globally, is doing better than last year and the bonus is indexed off that as a % of your basic.

i'm in the telecom indistry.

the bonus comes at just the right time to pay my NCT, Car Tax and Insurance, and I pay off my CC that I've let build up for the year since, and a family holiday.

It's nice to get the extra alright, and while not as big as some people's raises, no other company I've started any kind of recruitment process with for similar jobs have been able to match my wages, so I'm at the top of the pay scale for my position, and going higher year on year.

lawred2 · 31-01-2017 11:48am

In IT. Expect one. Been two years since last raise. Expect at least 10%. Will sit down with CEO shortly.

Badly Drunk Boy · 31-01-2017 12:25pm

I'm in the private section, in manufacturing. Last year, our union got us a 3% increase per year, for 3 years. Better than nothing, considering it's for over 300 people...

smurfjed · 31-01-2017 1:34pm

Company tried to stop our annual 3% rise, however it appears that the legal department advised them that it was against our contracts, so just got it back dated to October. Also hope to change my mobile office this month which will give me a 41% pay rise.

Widdershins · 31-01-2017 1:53pm

I'm going self employed this year so I really can't say for certain whether it's going to be a raise or a pay cut. In my previous job there was no automatic annual entitlement to any pay increase.

31-01-2017 3:12pm

Will get my yearly increment (public sector). After tax etc though its feck all extra into my pocket.

mark_jmc · 31-01-2017 3:32pm

yes- 5%
also getting a €2k payment in lieu of health insurance I don't need (my wife gets healthcare for both of us in her company).
Bonus 8%
Work in HR in private sector manufacturing

eviltwin · 31-01-2017 3:59pm

A small one but not enough to make any real difference to my wages.

Potential-Monke · 31-01-2017 4:16pm

Not a hope, unless i change jobs or get a promotion. Apparently, excelling at customer care doesn't mean you should get a raise. Shame, it's the reason the majority of customer care centres are terrible, because they pay peanuts and get monkeys. If they had some performance based raise system to keep good agents, we might have overall better customer support in general. I love this job, but the wages will stop me staying in it.

You mind me asking how you managed that? Fair play to you. Must have been on peanuts in the first place?

Thanks.

I did some certs in Azure over Xmas and knew it was in high demand. Got head hunted by a place and knew after interviews they really wanted me. They thought they were giving me an 8k rise, but is actually 15 and no, I wasn't on peanuts by any means.

red ears · 31-01-2017 4:35pm

I'm a public servant we are getting a pay restoration of €1000 in April.

pilly · 31-01-2017 4:37pm

I got a car instead so that suits me fine. Only because boss is afraid I will leave. Manufacturing sector, finance side.

RedXIV · 31-01-2017 4:39pm

got a substantial rise last year so this year will probably just be the annual "inflation bump" of 2%

I'm happy enough with that, but come back to me in 2 years and I'll be itching for another decent bump

MillField · 31-01-2017 4:39pm

Software dev - I'll get one but not worth talking about.

ElChe32 · 31-01-2017 4:39pm

Work for an NGO...doubtful.
