Hot damn! I finally got a raise!
 

I now make $15.50 an hour. After several years, I finally got a raise. Better late than never right? I can now engrave plaques with a smile on my face for once. :thumb:

Congratulations.

I think I'm in line for one next week.

Go get it :thumb:

Boss is probably a Democrat and thinks this well make you vote to reelect Obama...

Did that put you into a higher tax bracket? You may actually be broker now!

GET BACK TO WORK!

Also, congrats.

Now, seriously, get back to work.

Congrats man.....I should be getting a promotion around January-February of next year.

I've never thought about this, but I should give myself a massive raise and then take it back ten minutes later. That way, if I'm ever asked about salary I can list a ludicrously high number.

Good for you man!

Congrats, Dude!

I feel like a tool for making a thread about it, but god damn I'm just happy and have nobody to express that excitement with. I'm certainly not gonna tell my coworkers lol

what do you do sir?

glad you finally got something.

I got a raise last week because someone started a rumor I was taking a job elsewhere and told my boss. Thanks unknown person, you got me a 5 figure raise!

Grats!

You should tell them anyway. It'd be funny.

so how did it go down? did you flip the script on em or use some kind of tactic in negotiating? congratulations

Congrats on your raise man....

You are buying the beer this week.

No raise here ... On Short term disability here, making 60%

I actually didn't do a damn thing. He just came up to me and said he was giving me a raise. I haven't been particularly working very hard lately either. Hasn't been very busy. Been doin a lot of Chiefs Planet browsing.

I work at an awards store and design plaques/awards and engrave them either with a laser engraver or a rotary engraver. We also sublimate a lot of stuff. Most of what I do is engrave acrylic and glass awards. I've been doin it for almost 12 years.

A cut from the licence plate factory?

No license plates lately... Been pressing alot of hubcaps going to MO. to spruce up the trailer parks.:thumb:

My supervisor has my review ready. Just waiting on his boss to return from vacation and sign off on it. He mentioned the words "merit increase" so I take it that I actually have one coming. Hopefully by Tuesday of next week, I'll know what to expect.

Nice man. I remember seeing some of your posts and it seemed you were getting ****ed over. 'Bout time they paid the man!!!

I just accepted another job with a $5/hour pay raise and I start in two weeks!

Congrats to you too :thumb:

He probably saw the thread about the banner and decided to give you a raise based on the fact that you might fly one over his shop.

Congrats. But don't let your boss know that you post on CP while on the clock.

sweet, wife just emailed and she got a $0.69/hr raise today too.

If nothing else, the thread is a good sign for our economy. We have to be in a solid place as a society if we have the ability to spend money on banners asking to fire general managers, getting a raise at work for browsing CP and then spend time making posts about it.

I was told all raises happen once a year in February, and I didn't have a year in on the last one. But yesterday my manager told me I'm getting it on the next check since that's one year as full time.

Congrats, everybody! :thumb:

Na....If he was laid off and unemployed then it gets blamed on Obama.

Just got one too!!!/Cassel

Me too!!/ guy flying the banner plane.

Good luck.

I'm up for a promotion 8 weeks into a new job that would double my salary.

I haven't been sleeping much lately - I'll be glad when it's announced one way or the other.

Yeah lol. Usually when I'm posting here while at work it's while I have the machines running for a while. It's a pretty laid back place to work as long as all the work gets done and there are no problems.

Grats lcarus!

Isn't your dad your boss?...or am I getting you mixed with someone else?

Either way, congrats and don't let them ever convince you that you're at your "ceiling".

You should donate all that money to charity, dick.

Yes. Well my dad is the GM but there are 2 old guys who are the owners and they have final say when it comes to raises and such

Heh, I was thinking of you yesterday when I was going through all the bullshit of shipping a centrifugal pump to England via FedEx. You talk about a MF in the paperwork department! I was dinking around with that for two days, and I'm still not sure everything was right. Hopefully it doesn't get held up in customs. :doh!:

It ain't us bro, they are so picky about the paperwork to prevent your shipment being delayed is the reason it has to be so thorough, I don't work on that side of FDX, I am a linehaul driver for the freight side, I don't deal with people or actually see the freight, I basically just get in the truck and go about 300 miles, meet a driver who has freight going back to my home domicile, he takes his freight from me, I take my freight from him and then we go back to where we started and then repeat the next day.
