I'm pretty thrilled. I just got a 4.5% raise!! It's effective October 3, 2009. I'm the only person in my division who's getting an October raise...and out of the entire office there's only about 10 people out of 500 folks getting increases mid year.
Wow.
Apparently, they want to keep me around!
I spoke with my direct supervisor about whether this will impact company-wide raises in April and it won't. I will still receive my annual salary review in April 2010.
I went from making $45,000 to $47,000. Yay me! I'm pretty sure this translates to only about $100/month more but we'll know by the end of October how this will shake down.
It's Official!
