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.

thats the whole idea, is to cut your pay through inflation due to surplus of pharmacists. or better yet, the hope is to drive some old timers pharmacists to quit to replace them with new grads at much cheaper rate.

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 guess you are not up-to-date. Techs also get their hours cut. All the saving goes to Merlo and shareholders.

Yeah, no ****. Thanks for explaining the obvious to me.

WM is still doing raises. Most get Solid Performer which is a 50 cent raise. Only 10%-ish I heard can get Exceeds and if you get that after calibration it's $1.00. Bonus is always the same- basically just an extra paycheck. I wonder if there will be another mass layoff at WM this summer.

Inflation this year will be far more than 2%. We are looking at adding 6 trillion of federal debt within a year

Yup especially if this $2,000/month for 6 months stimulus gets passed. I feel bad for the minimum wage workers who are making less than unemployed people sitting at home.

Why not feel bad for the minimum wage workers whose CEO got a massive windfall while you are at it?

Eh? I'm just saying I feel bad for people like grocery workers who make $10/hr while exposed to Covid-19 everyday, while people at home are getting checks for $1100+/week to watch Netflix and chill.

Don't mind me, I am just reframing the issue. Why feel bad about people staying home and getting paid when there are people abusing the system to a far, far great scale?

I also think it is wrong but I don’t think the people getting unemployment are the issue, that’s all. I think it’s the fat cats at the top who are the problem.

I said I feel bad for the min wage workers not the people at home.

We can feel bad for everyone

Sorry if I was unclear - I also feel bad for the minimum wage worker. I just feel bad for them compared to the people who are actually abusing the stimulus money (CEOs) not unemployed people. That’s why I said “about” and not “for”.

I hope that clears up my point.

lol since it's so obvious why the post in the first place? you know there won't be any raises for many years to come

Because the thread is asking if anyone got a raise?

1.5%

Not great but better than my expected 0%

Just found out my company will not be matching 401k starting in July. So that’s a pretty effective compensation reduction.

Wow, that sucks. What was the % match?

 

[owlegrad]

1:1 up to 6%.

We all know that the thread title is to be ignored here. Look at the "what is your 401k allocation?" thread. Some troll literally responded "why should I tell you my 401k allocation? I don't even know you"

1:1 up to 6%.

Wow 6% is pretty good. They couldn't have reduced it a little at a time? 0% is drastic!

I didn't include this with my pay cut, but it also happened to me. Supposedly temporary, like the other cuts.

I realize your question is rhetorical but obviously they could have done anything they wanted. What they choose to do is capitalize on the tight job market and unemployment to increase shareholder value at the expense of the employees.

That sucks. I'd rather have a reduction in pay than 401k cut.

I wouldn't say that. A reduction in pay reduces both your current pay and your 401k match.
