Will you get a raise this year?

[Tonitrus]

I think we got 1.6% this year for the military overall.

I'll hit my 8-year mark in August (we get a pay raise for every year of time-in-service until year 4, then every two years), and I should  get my E-6 rank around the same time as well...so a fairly nice mid-year raise.

[Razgovory]

Yes.

[Berkut]

Huh, just finished my 2011 taxes.

Cracked six figures for the first time. Not bad for getting laid off...

Got my 2011 bonus yesterday.  It was actually more than I was expecting.

I'm hoping for raise via new job.

Well the answer for me thus far has been yes but not via a new job.

I got mines.
Although, considering our Murger & Acquisition status, it's less bonus and more unemployment insurance. 

[derspiess]

I got mines.

You know, I hear that so much every day it almost didn't register

On topic, yes.  But I won't find out for a few more weeks.  Don't expect a whole lot.  The company, particularly my division, is doing well but they still like to use the "tough economic times" excuse.

Wife's raise was a complete insult.  But given that she works for Citi, I guess we should be glad that she was moved into the financially solvent part last year.

Should've spelled it "gotst".

[KRonn]

We got cost of living increases last year. I expect the same for this year. We've been under new management for a probably into the third year now, and the company is expanding like crazy, but it's a tough business being health care. But most years we've gotten something, usually cost of living as I said.

[Ed Anger]

I wrote myself a check.

[fhdz]

My pay's frozen this year.

To revisit this: by "frozen" I clearly meant "drop kicked out the window".

I think they'll be a lot more people in these boats this year, hell it could become a new Languish meme, saving of course the lawtalkers.

Be like Hans & fire yourself.

Yeah, I'll be in the same boat.  What's baffling, though, is the flow-down I got actually mentioned "when companies start competing for talent again".  I think my company may be a bit out-of-touch with the modern engineering market, or they just don't care outside of the defense industry.
