Promotion, huh?

By megs - 10/12/2016 12:49

Today, I was promoted. After going to school for 10 months to get certified for the new position, training extensively, and taking on a ton more responsibility, I was hoping for a decent raise. How much do my bosses think all of that time and effort is worth? One dollar more per hour than I made before. FML

$1 an hour raise may not seem like much, but that is an extra $2000 a year assuming you work 40 hour weeks.

I've only gotten a 25 cent raise at my job, and I've been there for five years. Some people only get a dime. You're actually lucky.

Don't be so bitter about it. Maybe they only gave you a $1 raise for now just to see how well you'll do.

If you make 25k a year, work 8 hours a day, you make ~8.68 an hour, 1 dollar per hour is more than 10% raise, which is pretty good.
