Will you get a raise this year?

needhelpguy · 30-01-2017 8:27pm #1

Well, will you? :pac: If replying let us know what sector you work in

Me: I don't know. My employer seems to think that since I got one last year, I shouldn't get one this year. Despite being demonstrably underpaid. I work in IT.

DopeTech · 30-01-2017 8:29pm

I work in IT also. I'm only in my job a few months. Would be doubtful on getting a raise. Always on the lookout for better paid jobs though!

bear1 · 30-01-2017 8:33pm

**** and no.
Finance: been working on a project since September under my own initiative which will save the company.
Won't see a cent for it

Noddyholder · 30-01-2017 8:36pm

Yes, I have moved to the top floor.

30-01-2017 8:43pm

Yep, as part of a new job.

SCOOP 64 · 30-01-2017 8:44pm

Got one €5 a week, suppose it will buy me a sandwich for one day a week.

demanufactured · 30-01-2017 8:44pm

A what?

Corruptedmorals · 30-01-2017 8:45pm

I will get an increment. Public sector, but a very low grade with salary to match.

Galwayguy35 · 30-01-2017 8:59pm

Warehouse worker.

We've been fighting for a raise now for a few months and have a meeting on friday with management to see what they have to say.

Spudgun · 30-01-2017 9:14pm

retail worker: I doubt it very much but it would be nice

Best of luck.

Got one last year so doubt I'll get one this year. No harm in asking though.

10 euro an hour?

Dr. Kenneth Noisewater · 30-01-2017 9:18pm

I'm being promoted next week. I will be getting a pay rise of about €6 per week after tax. Public sector.

mloc123 · 30-01-2017 9:21pm

Private sector, IT... Hopefully 10%

wes · 30-01-2017 9:22pm

Work in IT. Should find out soon. I do expect to get one.

TerrorFirmer · 30-01-2017 9:28pm

Somehow I don't think so.

whoopsadoodles · 30-01-2017 10:04pm

Yes. Got promoted last week. Work in IT.

jimgoose · 30-01-2017 10:08pm

Umm, probably. Won't be huge, wasn't last year. There's also a profit-sharing bonus sort of thing. I could hoor myself off out somewhere else for Decadent Roman Empire sort of money, but with the world the way it is I'm reluctant to do that.

Asked for payrise as was considerably behind my peers with similar levels of experience but I was outperforming them.

Was told I wasn't going to get a cent extra so I applied elsewhere and start new job this week..65% payeise....I work in banking....moving between companies is the only way to get a decent payrise in the industry.

Turtyturd · 30-01-2017 10:14pm

Yep, recently got promoted to a new role which bumped the salary up a bit, and am due an increase in a few weeks.

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 30-01-2017 10:18pm

Pension has advised 2% minimum rise this year.

sjb25 · 30-01-2017 10:25pm

Well I get my increment yes public service obviously;)

Phil.x · 30-01-2017 10:29pm

I havent had a pay rise in the last 10 years.
But we are in discussions about one this year.

My pension limited to 2% but unlikely (once again) this year - CPI has to exceed 2% to get a rise. It's currently 0%. ( obviously no insurance in the basket they use)

muddypaws · 30-01-2017 10:37pm

Self employed, so I'll have a meeting and decide if I deserve one.

This 100%, had to do something similar when i made my last move. Hoping this year my current employer will have something reasonable on the table, if not the area im in means i have some options

Ush1 · 30-01-2017 11:12pm

Yep, switched jobs after 3 months and got a 15k rise. Work in IT.

arybvtcw0eolkf · 31-01-2017 12:26am

LOL, a pay rise.. I'm in the defence forces, I've suffered nothing but cuts in almost ten years.

A pay rise, bwahahahahahaha

The Backwards Man · 31-01-2017 12:29am

Self employed, up a few hundred on January last year, talk to me again next month

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

clappyhappy · 31-01-2017 8:02am

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.

Pinch Flat · 31-01-2017 8:07am

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.

somesoldiers · 31-01-2017 8:09am

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

hairyslug · 31-01-2017 8:26am

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.

titan18 · 31-01-2017 8:33am

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.

razorblunt · 31-01-2017 9:41am

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.

Will you get a raise this year?
