That’s still way higher than anyone’s raises each year…
Raises have nothing to do with inflation or cost of living. Companies that pin raises to those things are severely underpaying employees and hoping they don’t seek greener pastures.
Market rates set compensation. The best way to know your market rate is to find a new job.
If the company is doing COLAs right then their employees wouldn't need to seek greener pastures.
COLA is almost always lower than what you’ll get by job hopping
I didn't say they were doing it right.
what the fuck? you get less than 5% raise in a year in the US?
edit: in light of responses, I'd like to reiterate, what the fuck... this is the most obscenely wealthy country in the world.
Yep, company loyalty is dead here. The only way to get a significant raise is to switch jobs.
i mean that's what happens if you don't give a raise. what a stupid market.
Acording to this report: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/eci.pdf
The average Wages and salaries increased 1.1 percent and benefit costs increased 1.1 percent from December 2023.
Oh and then people that did get raises averaged 4.4% last year. So its really raises for some and poverty for most.
People are lucky to get a raise at all. Much less 5%, usually it's 1 or 2. For at least a decade the only way to significantly increase your pay has been to move jobs.
Most people are lucky to get 2%.. my company set the max at 2.5 last year and you only got that if you were IT Jesus
