Just under three percent. That better work perofrmance is paying off! 
Heh…my raise was about 5% and I was bitched at and nagged about having to miss work (for 2 surgeries) and told that I could have gotten a much better raise.
To be fair, I do work in an industry with well-known retention/turn-over issues. 3% is actually pretty friggin awesome for most industries. Grats to you!
'Grats. I get one of those about every year. It doesn’t amount to much, but it’s still nice. Now, if they go off and give me a raise simply because they think I’m an awesome dude and the chicks dig me, that would be something special.
That’s terrific! Reminds me that I have an employee that just asked for a raise that I don’t want to deal with. She certainly isn’t worth 3%. As a matter of fact, I’d like a refund.
Congrats! It’s always good to hear good news.
Yay! Our base here is 2% with 1-1.5 added for stellar folks.
Congratulations! Enjoy your good news!
Good going! It’s that creative mind.
Congrats!
Congratulations, Sunspace! You buying?
I think I got a 6% raise at my last review. However, the last review was in 1998.
Wanna come to Toronto for our next TronnaDope?
Hey, Sunspace… Must have been that NEW haircut that did it! Congrats!
I got 3.5 but I wasn’t happy because I went contract to permanent this year and they screwed my on my salary.
I once got a 2% “raise” and my boss went on about how I should be proud etc. I told him that it wasn’t, in fact, a raise at all. It is an inflationary adjustment that applies to everything else.

It’s strange. I’ve gotten compliments about it from the oddest quarters, but it was an accident!
We had a policy of 5% for the REALLY great people, and 2% for the shlubs.
One year, when I complained that my raise has no longer kept pace with inflation, management told me that I’d be better of quitting and then coming back in 2 years.
It’s been 3 years since I left. I’d still like to egg the place.
Having been the recent recipient of a similar raise myself, I’m feeling your joy!
Not that I’m…like…touching your joy or anything.
Let’s try that again.
Congrats, fellow passenger on the 3% elevator car through the salt mine hierarchy!
