Our community has steadily increased in Medicare/Medicaid percentage, which is a large decrease in reimbursement, and then that gets cut as well.

What’s the minimum annual raise (percentage) that you wouldn’t find insulting to get?

3% at a minimum.

This is where I am. Anything less than 3% seems like a kick in the grundle

Anthing less is a sign to look elsewhere.

I've only hit 3% once at my current company.

A lot of big corps don't do this. Hence why you have to move around a lot.

I was happy to get about that this year

Inflation+a few percent

Vs getting nothing? I am not insulted at any money

Agreed. A lot of entitlement in this thread

Are you saying you would rather have no raise than 2.5% raise?

cougarfann888

1/19/21 6:32pm

Seems like 0% is still less than 3% to me.

1/19/21 6:36pm

IMO, both 2.5% or 0% are warning signs that something is wrong

cheezedawg

1/19/21 6:38pm

Depends on industry. Local government 2-3% is normal.

cougarfann888

1/19/21 6:45pm

No, I’m saying anything less than 3% would bother me

It would depend on the industry I’m working in, how the company did, how my

I have never received a raise less than 3% but there have been a few year

Your goal should be to earn more every year, and not earning more should definitely be taken as a sign of trouble,

cheezedawg

1/19/21 6:37pm

I do agree with that

hansel

Not true at all in many industries.

What's a "raise"?

LiveCoug

1/19/21 6:39pm

I have made progressively less over the past 10 years.

Richardo

1/19/21 6:44pm

Yup. That's me. Relying on Medicaid reimbursement is rough when they keep

What specialty? Most seem to have steadily gone up.

Any percentage especially after a pandemic year is good

USMCdad

0% if I get to keep my job

At my previous employer, solid performers received 3-5% each year.

🤔..if a company is so willing to give huge raises would it raise concern...

1/19/21 7:18pm

Plan on at least 2% inflation, so anything less than that is a pay cut.

cheezedawg

1/19/21 7:24pm

My raise is pretty easy....sell more.

ordinary tri guy

1/19/21 7:29pm

5% would be a windfall. 3% is for top performers.

Seven years at my last employer, one 4.5% raise in year three.
