Are people still getting raises?

Our company hasn't given raises or bonuses in two years. I've considered asking for one but I know I'm easily replaceable by a cheap new grad.

Got my fiddy cent 2 years running

Walmart did keep their bonus system for FY2020 but not a peep for FY2021

Nice that's about $1,000 extra per year!

In past years the minimum bonus threshold in each of the 4 categories was $2,500. It's rare not to hit at least one of those categories as most pharmacies and stores muddle along in mediocrity.

You generally get screwed if the previous year was a blowout year (like 25-30% Rx script increase/sales increase) and you don't meet the fake projected goals as you will not hit Rx script or Rx sales goals (i.e., you sold 360k of a specialty drug that is no longer being dispensed as that pt no longer goes to your pharmacy, that will count against you for next year's projected sales targets).

3% raise! ...and yet I’m still ~$20k behind of what I used to make in retail.

 

[confettiflyer]

Standard ~3% cost of living adjustment, we get that (almost) every year

I got my 0.69% raise this year.

ha....nice....

 

[TheBlaah]

3.25% and PTO increase back in November. I'm a bit concerned though with the money the hospital's losing because of the coronavirus, as the lost profits probably means decreased raises across the board.

 

[pharmacystudent1011]

Three letter, no raise. ME rating. My wife also with 3 letter, no raise even at $55/hour.

 

[aqb]

Last year I got ME; $0.25 raise. This year I got EE; $1.50 raise (~2%).

What state?

 

[Dred Pirate]

3% in january - was the max - assume no way I am getting a raise this next year, and no bonus - only second time in 16 year

 

[Pronounce Doxazosin]

None in the past 3-4 years

$55?? What year did she graduate? And what state?

 

[deleted205891]

Yep 1.6% (i think?) federal raise across the board in January, plus I had my step increase in March. Not a huge amount but still something. My step increases are every 2 years though.

 

[PlaceboFX15]

Yea, 2% raise in Jan for step increase, then another guaranteed 3% raise in July again for COLA (union contract).

 

[297point1]

Zero raise this year; it could end up being a pay cut if I get furloughed for 4-6 weeks after Memorial Day like I am expecting. All things considered, I am grateful to still have a job. If Universities do not reopen their campuses in the fall and stay online instruction only, it is going to be a world of hurt for a lot of people, myself included. Hoping for the best, preparing for the worst.

 

[radio frequency]

Ha! First I got a raise. Then I got a Corona paycut, to below my last two raises. 2020 is a wild ride.

 

[Ra1nMak3r]

I got ME $1 raise and $9500 bonus as a PIC. My store killed it on scripts last year.

I just started as a GS12 Step 3. Won't get my raise for two years! Better than no raise at Kroger.

 

[gwarm01]

Bonuses have been halted per a small snippet in a weekly newsletter. Very sneaky way to put that out there.
I'm just assuming there will be no raises at this point.

Where do you work?

 

[radio frequency]

What was the pay cut? Hours cur or actual dollar paycut?

I can’t share details, but both hours and dollars per hour were cut.

I got a raise, 1 dollar/hr. I'll take it.

Ouch, dollars per hour cut? That might be permanent.

Wow I didn't know they could cut your rate! The chains try to get rid of old timers who make a lot, why don't they just cut their rates instead?

 

[mustang sally]

Usually get around 3% every fall, probably just be glad to still have a job this year.

I am confused by this. You can't say what company? You can't give any details? So its secret. Does anyone else in the company you work for knows about this just you? Troll?

It’s not retail. I’m not sharing for personal privacy. It’s across the board though; not just me.

This would be the longest and most boring con ever for a troll post.

So far there is an end date given, after which rates are expected to go back to what they were prior.

My guess is amcare.

Sorry man, that's extra rough. Best of luck

I appreciate the thoughts. I’ll be ok though. I’ll have to make some adjustments but ultimately it could be worse than this, for sure. Hey, at least I’m not on a vent with Covid, right?

Are you serious???!!!! Lol

You can’t always justify how you’re doing by comparing yourself to rock bottom.

Well, no, but I’m actually doing better than a lot of other people. Not having Covid is a big bonus though!

I’ve been through much harder times than this. This is a comparative cakewalk.

 

[mentos]

Yes. 50 cents x 2080 hours per year is $1,040.

 

[Sine Cura]

Doesn't beat inflation but it's better than nothing

Yup I've gotten $0 the past two years, would love to have an extra $2000 more in my bank account right now.

On an unrelated note, I'm getting push notifications every time some one posts in basically any thread. I can't figure out how to change the setting for tapatalk.... anyone know how ?

As much as I’d love a raise right now, I’d be happy just to keep my job...

Happy/healthy.

I got nada for the third year in a row.

that is a 8% payout.

 

[WVUPharm2007]

I'm guessing you mean paycut.

And, yes, inflation sucks.

 

[Twentytwelve2]

0.5% raise. Better than expecting nothing.

 

[pencilandpen]

then you probably make a lot to begin with. I would rather the raises be given to techs than high earning pharmacists making 100k plus and still complaining that is not enough....

I'm fine with that. As long as they give me a "raise" consummate with inflation. A pharmacist getting a 2% raise isn't really a raise. Each time I don't get a raise, they are effectively cutting my pay.

Or maybe we should stop acting like its an either/or situation and they could give us all a fair raise.
