I just found out that we won't be getting raises this year at work. I'm bummed about it but in the whole scheme of things I am thankful I still have a job.

    That's too bad. Lord knows this year everybody could use a raise, no matter what you do.

    I haven't gotten a raise in 5 years. You think your disappointed now, let me know how you feel in 4 more years.

    Just found out through the media this morning that my company has been sold off to Citi.
    I'm worried I may not have a job in 3-6 months.:frown:

    But I'd be super pissy if I didn't get a raise. The cost of living continues to rise and companies should at very least match THAT with a raise, even if no merit increase can be given.

    Same boat here. Haven't gotten one in almost 2 yrs.:angry: They just layed off like 25 people last week with that. So I'm just happy I'm here, but I have thought about looking around, because the cost of living is going up and with people like me that live paycheck to paycheck that makes it worse. So that's why I joined here to at least do something I have control over unlike the economy. Hang in there, it'll get better, I hope.:wink:

    I don't remember the last time I got a raise. But I work for a small company and times are tough. I'm just glad to have a job and on top of that I have the best boss in the world so I'll stick around as long as I can.

    My boss called me into her office last week to tell me that we won't be getting raises this year, due to the slow economy and stuff. I already knew this as I am the bookkeeper/office mgr and I handle all the financial stuff. I just told her I was greatful just to still be employed. She said that was one of the reasons she loves working with me, I always look on the positive side!!!!
