I also got a raise this weekend
 
Boss called me on Friday and gave me a 10% raise. Out of the blue. That was pretty cool! I must be doing something right.

That's awesome. These days you need a raise just to stay even.

pavulon 11-05-2012 02:59 PM

now you afford Asian nurse, soldier?

I got a similar call but it wasn't a raise - it was a sizable RSU grant.

I was stoked - it was pretty nice.

Congrats! I'll raise a glass for both of us tonight.

Congrats to both of you guys!!

Congrats guys...

I didn't get a raise, just more news that they are making room in the company to keep me on until I finish school, and it looks like I'll be in a good spot to take my pick of positions when I'm done. :D

I was told I wasn't fired! woo hoo!

weseeeee 11-05-2012 09:03 PM

Congrats! Treat yourself to something nice.

That must be a nice feeling. All of my raises have been fought for tooth and nail and still less than expected. I suppose I shouldn't complain, but it would be nice to have an employer exceed expectations for once.

The dude I work for has his hand down my pants. This is getting old...

If you don't post a pic of yourself wearing a Jackrabbits shirt, we'll never believe it happened.:)

Now I hope that wasn't a poke at me. :)

And congratulations!!!!! In a time of people losing their jobs and pay cuts, this brings a smile to my face. Wonderful news!

Good sport? Yes, in fact, I was being nice. :) Ha ha! Consider yourself spared from my wrath.

pavulon 11-07-2012 05:32 AM

I've done my tour in the ICU and so am familiar with RN wrath...it's not a big deal. We both know how most of it ends.

Congratulations slackjaw. I'm sure you deserve every penny and then some.


There must be something in the air, my boss came into my office first thing this morning (which he never does) and gave me one too. It's piddly compared to your 10% but I'll take an extra 2.4% anytime.

It's been a very good year, evidently I've been all wrong about that Obama guy ;)

BTW a couple weeks ago I mentioned that I applied for a job at corporate in San Antonio (that I had no chance to get, masters ME req.).
I wonder if this off the wall "peformance-based adjustment" had anything to do with that? :cool:
