That maybe you're under payed to start with?

I've seen my company do big bumps but usually it's because they need to raise that employee in the pay band to start with.

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.

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.

barnacle

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

cougarfann888

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

Not true at all in many industries.

What's a "raise"?

I have made progressively less over the past 10 years.

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

LiveCoug

What specialty? Most seem to have steadily gone up.

valleus

CMS proposes another 10% decrease in reimbursement to my specialty next year.

Richardo

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.

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

cheezedawg

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

ordinary tri guy

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