Payraise.. how much do you expect? how much did you get?

I actually got 6% this year. Nothing to write home about but certainly better than I expected and better than last year’s 2%. I can’t complain.
 
Opened my first wage slip that reflects April. 0% yippeeeee :rolleyes:

There's a reason so many of the CNCs don't have anybody to run them here :D

I got 7% due to moving to a different team. Same level but a small bump as I’m having to learn some new processes. Can’t complain really!

No bonus for last year, but that’s due to the market being pants as opposed to me performing poorly (I think!)

Last year: 4% inflationary raise, £6k bonus, 9% promotion raise.

This year, realistically only expecting 3 or 4% inflationary, hoping for any sort of bonus (£2k+ would be great) and not anticipating a promotion, but hoping to be in position for one early ish next year.

Ok, we got 5% payrise a couple of months ago, and now I have a £7k bonus too. So both above my expectations.

Don't anticipate any promotion this year, so that should be all for 2025.
 
2 job changes since start of the year (one move to new company, and one promotion in the first 6 months which in real proud of!), combined 7.5%~ but it’s my first step back into management for about a decade with a lot of opportunities available once I’ve got a bit of experience under my belt.

Should find out on Friday, if I log in as it's my non-working Friday otherwise will find out early next week. Hoping for a decent one. :)
 
@Ayahuasca the reason what I said is true is that you have no more money in your pocket so its no use to you if you have an hours cut unless you can make use of that time.

If you earn £30k for 5 days work and then you get cut to 4 days work for the same money - great more free time - but it doesn't help you pay the bills hence its not really a pay rise.

Yeah of course you can say your hourly rate has increased but what use is that to you?
 
As mentioned in the other thread, this interpretation is far too literal and only applies if you believe that humans should spend every waking moment doing something productive.

And in the real world we all need money to pay bills. A pay rise is only a pay rise if you get more pay in your bank account at the end of the month, for the vast majority of people.

If you don't need the money, then great. Take the time, listen to the birds, relax. That has utility too of course.

But Im talking real world here. Most of us need the money.
 
You aren't talking about the real world, you're talking about it literally, as if every hour should be spent being productive in order for what is an effective payrise.

I assume you're working 16-hour days or two or three jobs because you need the money. What do you need the extra money for? It can't just be to pay the bills.

However once you've got the money .... you'll want to spend it to get the free time! So kind of agree with you both. Tbh a better way would be to look at it £ per hour.
