First world problems... Where I'm from, many people slave away working 10 hours, 6 days a week, all for that ******* $1/h. In the long run, this raise will add up to thousands of dollars, so please... stop complaining and start appreciating what you have.

It comes down to what you make initially. If you make $5 an hour, that's a 20% raise. FWIW, my raises, with me consistently exceeding my work goals, rarely get me or my colleagues more than 2%. Which is about the $ figure you got.

That ought to pay off in 15 to 20 years. What a great investment!!!

Still alot if you think about it in the long run

I mean that sucks but maybe with your new training and experience you can find a better paying job with a new company

I once worked at CVS as a pharmacy tech. Started at minimum wage, doing about 85% of the same exact job duties the pharmacist across the counter from me getting 55$ an hour. The literal only difference in job duties was they gave "consultations" and counted narcotics. I did about 40 hours of training to get tech certified, being told I'd get a raise if I would. I got a 37cent raise. Moral of the story: life is an unfair bitch. Sorry for your crappy employer.

I know the feeling. I became the first manager in my company last summer, I got a $0/HR raise and all the responsibility that a whole crew was taking on before. Keep at it, keep your chin up and a good attitude, they'll see what you're worth eventually.

I'd say it's time to shop around. Interview with other companies for the same or similar position you were just promoted to.

boss is gonna get his tires slashed that's for sure lol

If you work an average of 40 hours a year give or take that's 2,080 dollars more per year and if you work more then you make even more
