I have not. I asked for one and he said he'll see what he can do. Its been almost 2 months and still no answer.

Someone else here has been here going on 5 years with no raise. So I may have to leave to get a pay increase.

9.5% raise.
I had to fake a yawn to cover up my smile while my boss told me that.
That's pretty good!

We'll get a bonus probably within the next couple weeks. Raises will happen early next year, nothing significant (I expect another 3% or so) but should happen.

No raise or bonus. And being a teacher, no "step" since 2009. The step doesn't effect me as I am over 25 years, but it is hurting new teachers and those who are STILL holding at year 24 as when you get to 25, you get 4,000 more a year. The county is SURE saving tons of money by not giving steps, that is for sure!

But last year they did give everyone a one time 3% "bonus" except for the 25 and over who got only $750; but then it didn't mean much as 3% is now taken out of our salary for our pensions....

For the past 2 or 3 years it's been like 1% and this year I'm expecting nada with the economy being so bad.

Sigh. I really need to move within my industry. It's the quickest way I've found to boost your pay.

Good luck everyone
