I got a raise!!!
My manager called me into her office and told me that she realized that I was underpaid. She couldn’t get me what she thought I deserved but she got me a ten percent increase, and annual reviews(and raises) are still 3 months away.
The money is cool. But I really liked being told that what I do was noticed and appreciated.
Not that this should matter to anyone. But, shit, I’m jazzed!
Congrats, Spooje. My review is tomorrow - I’m hoping for a raise myself!
woohooo congrats to you…
Congratulations spooje!
Pluto’s advice about what to do with your raise:
Tell yourself you only got a five percent raise and put the other five percent into an IRA or savings account.
Splurge once. Get yourself something you’ve wanted but couldn’t quite afford.
Mail the balance to someone who has given you good advice recently.
