Hot damn! I finally got a raise!

[lcarus]

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.

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.

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!

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.
