I got a raise!!!

I am very happy to hear that you got a rise. It is a good news for any work and of course it is motivataion for people to work hard. I worked for three companies til lnow. My pervious two companies were very cheap. One company gave me a rise after 1.7 years, which I was supposed to get after 1 year. I worked for another company a year and they gave me a rise after 6 months, but they never give me a rise for another 2.5 years.

Congratulations! Just in time for the holiday season I guess! Happy Mylotting and Merry Christmas!

That's wonderful! I'm sure it is a much needed raise for everyone. It's nice to know some companies are rewarding their employees instead of laying them off.

Well congratulations! I know the feeling. And it is something I look for around April. At least it is April around here, in this company I work for. Because of the recent economic recession, the company has been struggling to give people raises. When I got mine this year, I was so happy too when I got it, until I realized it was only a measly $50 addition to my every other week pay check. Still, it was better than nothing. And I could always use the extra gas money. I wonder what you'll get for the extra $80?

Congration. I don't get raise for years. I do think boss should consider giving the raise at the end of a year though, a bit more, apppreciate one year harding work. Otherwise the staff will lose the enthusiasm and the motivation to work. It help them focus on the job and concentrate more on it, unfortunately, my boss don't understand.

ohoh~seems rasing salary is indeed a good way to light the workers passion on working, i should offer this advise to my boss maybe~~

Wow! Congratulations on the raise. I think everybody loves to get a nice raise at work. I think if your company has recognized your work and given you a raise you need to be happy. And of course you do find that extra vigor and enthusiasm at work. Cheers! Ram

Congratulations!

First of all greetings about that, it means that you are important for your company and your company appreciate your work. In that business world we live, it looks like there are two things one person needs at work - respect from his bosses and good salary, so the person to live normal life. In some cases, money are kind of respect too, but not always and not everywhere in the world people take extra cash for their work. I can say that i worked two years in one big company, who had stores for food, also they were building houses and flats. While i was working there, we didn't have so much respect from our bosses, but in decembre we always had double payment for some days - Christmas and New Year day, around Christmas they always made party for all the people, who work in their shops and was giving us something like .... 40$ extra cash. It was great appreciation for us, because around the holidays everyone needs money. It was my first and last time when i worked for company, which is doing that. Later i went to work in a company, which had more than 30 stores in whole the country i live. They never did party for us, no extra cash during the holidays, what they did it to low our work time on Christmas and New year day and the first day of the New Year, because they knew that nobody will come to shop cell phones in these days. It's not a regular practice in our country people to receive extra cash when they work in the most important and nice month in the year, for whole world. Congratulations friend.

i cnt remember the last time i got a raise. i only work part time in a pub so they dont dish out many raises and im not holding my breathe getting one in the future.

I am happy for you. Getting a raise will also give me motivation on what I am doing even if it is boring. But nowadays with the economy bad most companies don't want to give raises so you got lucky. Congratulations.
