Last raise I got at a job was 9%. 6 months later I changed jobs for a 66% increase. Taught me a valuable lesson.
This is the way.

Just become a business owner. If business is good you can give yourself a raise every Friday lol. Gave myself a decent raise last week.

I get raises by finding new jobs. Starting a new one October 2nd, and I'm getting a 20% raise.

10 years ago was the last significant , 2-3% annually since. I’m losing ground lately.

ETA. This was about a year ago.
Most research tells companies not to match offers because usually the person leaves within a year and their performance takes a hit from the resentment of having to go through the process of getting another offer. Usually if a company gives you a raise to match they are buying time to backfill and replace you. Good luck with you thinking you have that much leverage.

So, you’re basically a millionaire
It’s funny that I’ve never been hourly for 21 years but they always break down my salary over the years to hourly on my paycheck. In 2002 it’s was $15.50 an hour and 21 years later it’s $31.50 an hr
I’ve gotten promoted and it’s gone up and I’ve been promoted and it’s gone down. Highest I’ve had was $25 before my last promotion and it went down to $23 and 9.5 years later I’m at $31.50.

I've increased my income by 12,000% since 2002. Thinking about writing a book to share my story, Journey to the Top of the Middle

This says something is terribly out of balance with our current labor system.

You ought to ask about a meaningful raise and stay at the same company.
You should be not only able to ask, but if you do a good job likely to receive one.

I’ve seen it both ways. I’ve seen my wife jump 100k plus on a major promotion and 20k to 50k up and down changing jobs after bonus and stock options.
I stayed with the same company she left and have made 4 times my income by going from operations to sales.

5% in july.
year before that about 40% because i went out and acquired a better offer from another institution. i gave my current employer chance to promote and match and they did.

I work for a big corporation, however I’ve found myself getting decent raises so far being here. A little under 3 years, and so far I’ve seen 5 raises. 2 due to annual increase (3%), 2 due to promotions (15%), and one due to have another job offer in hand (18%). Last increase was actually last week for getting a title bump. They work me like a dog but have st least made sure to compensate me for it.

I fail to understand why people strike for a higher wage. It just makes it cost more to live hence devaluing our money / the dollar.

I’m in outside sales so I eat what I kill. We did get a $17,000 company contribution to company stock in August - which is doing slightly above average performance.
We haven’t had layoffs from our company and our parent company so that’s a blessing.
