Today, I got a raise. A 10 cent raise. I have worked at my job for over 3 years. I now make 20 cents more an hour than people that have only worked there 3 minutes. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got raise at work. It's $3 per month. FML
Today, I got a raise at work. It will bring my hourly wage to about a cent more per hour. Our CEO just reported record-breaking profits for the year. FML
Today, the person recently hired to work in my spot during my days off started at a higher hourly rate than me, after I have been here for nearly three years. I asked for a raise and got a dollar more; meanwhile, my regional counterparts make 4 dollars more per hour. FML
Today, I got a 25-cent raise at work. That would be wonderful, had they not cut 6 hours off my schedule as well. I'm now making $200 less a month than I was pre-raise. FML
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
Today, after 3 years at my job I received a 14% raise. I was informed I will be transitioned from hourly to salary. I will now be making $1500 LESS than I made last year. FML
Today, I found out that one of my coworkers, who has been with the company for less than a week, is getting a $7k pay rise. I've been with the company for 8 months and still on minimum wage. FML
Today, I found out I make less money than the temps at my job by over 2 dollars an hour. I've been working there the longest and do 75% of the job myself. I was told, "We'll think about it" when talking to upper management about getting equal pay or close to. FML
Today, I finally got a raise after years of hard work! Excited, I went on a shopping spree, but as I checked the latest prices, it turns out that my extra income barely covers the increase in my grocery bill. Thanks, inflation. FML
Today, at the job I've had for eight years, I finally got the raise I was supposed to get a year ago. One hour later I found out the store was closing and we were all out of a job in two weeks. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

same boat here. I've been at my job for two and a half years and I'm being paid fifteen cents more than the ridiculously incompetent employees my manager engaged since we couldn't find anybody else. I had to fight twice for this raise because everytime I had a raise, minimum wage would increase and my boss would conveniently forget to adjust my raise. That, plus all the psychological harassment (my boss doesn't like me because he doesn't find me attractive enough to want to have sex with me) make me quit in one week! OP, I don't care if times are though, starting again at the minimum wage at another job is better than working for a bad employer.. find a job that respects its employees!

Maybe not, but it does mean they're less well suited for the profession fudrick had in mind.

OMG!!! This happened to me too. Do you work at a movie theater because when I worked there they only gave between 5-25 cent raises every year!

eh luckily my job gives % raises every year. How much depends on your performance as an employee. Every year i received 3% (out of a max of 4%) and make over $9/hr finally. Sadly due to the economy they changed the max percent for the next fiscal year to be a max of 2%. But i only work per diem (only summer and january while im home from school) so i cant complain.

The unfortunate reality is that you will be paid the lower of what you will accept and what they would have to pay someone to replace you. Look for another job... maybe look at going back to school?

You get a better raise than we do at Gamestop! We go through an evaluation every year and ONLY get an 8 cent raise if we kiss enough ass for it with our manager. If you don't kiss enough ass, you don't get a raise. Also, if you get a raise, that means you get a promotion with it. Kiss your free time and days off good-bye because you're immediately a manager, which means you have to open the shop, set up the tills, clean up, set up any games that didn't get processed the previous nights, and so on.

I was at my job for close to 25 years, and in that time, my total raises amounted to about $1.25, and it was a multi-million dollar company too. I guess that's why the rich get richer. They sh** all over their hard-working employees.
