Promotion, huh?

Today, I was promoted. After going to school for 10 months to get certified for the new position, training extensively, and taking on a ton more responsibility, I was hoping for a decent raise. How much do my bosses think all of that time and effort is worth? One dollar more per hour than I made before. FML

$1 an hour raise may not seem like much, but that is an extra $2000 a year assuming you work 40 hour weeks.

"Oh, wow, you went to janitorial school and have tasked yourself with spending an extra four hours each day waxing the floors. That's… you're one hell of an accountant!"

I've only gotten a 25 cent raise at my job, and I've been there for five years. Some people only get a dime. You're actually lucky.

Don't be so bitter about it. Maybe they only gave you a $1 raise for now just to see how well you'll do.

If you make 25k a year, work 8 hours a day, you make ~8.68 an hour, 1 dollar per hour is more than 10% raise, which is pretty good.
