re: How many PT folks have worked through the pandemic? Did you get a +20% raise?

I got a 20% cut through the lock down, stayed working full time + some, and got the same shite raise as all the people who stayed home and did nothing.

I kept working for the same amount of money as I made before.

You missed the point of the OP.

So far it looks like the people who worked through the pandemic took a complete hosing on wages and in reality lost purchasing power because our wages were diluted when lower wage workers received 20-30% pay increases.

I worked through it, I'm in the healthcare industry. I received the standard 3% raise and later a bonus of $800 for working through it. I didn't complain about the bonus, but kinda laughed because that's less than 1% of my annual salary.

I’m in the solid middle class household income….we just got crushed with the current rate of inflation, we took a 5-10% pay cut in real purchasing power the past 18 months.

Went from in the office to WFH. Worked the entire time though. Will be flex going forward, but at this point still work from home.
Didn't receive much last year, but this year so far I've received a 8k bonus and a 20% raise. Will receive another bonus in a couple months, but don't know how much.

My wife is a clerical worker with the equivalence of an Associates degree, her $23/hr wage has been reduced to a wage just slightly higher than a warehouse worker.

I worked harder due to less help and made 30% less due to less business. I sure would’ve liked the pay increases you speak of.
Posted on 8/21/21 at 9:36 pm to Bass Tiger
No I did not.
I got my 2% annual, laid off half my staff, then watched profits soar as management refused to restaff when work picked up again. Then they are double dipping on my hours so I said f them I’m out.

Come January, I'll have been with my employer for 6 years. The first 3 January raises ranged between not good and OK. The past 2 have been phenomenal. A similar "phenomenal" raise will basically be no raise at all on account of inflation.
I love my workplace, but if I don't get a 15%+ raise, I will start looking elsewhere. I hate that the Fedgov has brought me to this point, but there may be other firms that are more up-to-date on inflation. Less than a 15% raise is basically no raise at all.
ETA: I've never stopped working in the office.

I have a job that puts me in crowds, random people’s homes, and in the public constantly. I’ve had the same pay and face a reduction in available vacation time
Posted on 8/21/21 at 10:09 pm to DownshiftAndFloorIt
I’ve worked the whole time in a public facing position. I actually took a pay cut to work in a closed door operation. No crazies!

I am part of an executive team for a company that has a little over 1000 employees. We were deemed essential (construction) and only asked for social distancing at the corporate and regional offices in spring of 2020. No masks were required but a few did wear them at the office. Anyone who wanted to work remote were allowed to do so but the ones who did were mainly part of our engineering department. They all started back at the office, voluntarily, in the late fall.
We didn’t issue raises due to covid as all of our people were allowed to work where they felt most comfortable. Either at home or at the office. Our company self performs our specialty and about 900 od our employees are craft labor. As a prime sub contractor, we have to go by the General Contractors Jobsite rules so most of our craft labor people were required to wear masks while working(still do) as part of site specific PPE protocols.
We are an S Corp ESOP company but not a corporate behemoth. Our senior management team navigated this the right way IMO. We didn’t , and will not mandate masks or vaccines , for our people. The only caveat is that our craft labor must abide any site specific masks policies issued by a GC.

I worked through the pandemic on to see my hours go from 40 to 32 hours a week for about 7 months.
No bonus no raise had to go find 2 other part time jobs to make up for the money I was missing.
Have a kid with autism so I still had to bring him to his therapy and counseling sessions so I had to go get other part time work. To be able to make sure he got what he needed.
It was very tough working 7 days a week for the whole pandemic work stopage for those months last year.
When we were able to get back to full time no raise or bonus or Christmas bonus. So im glad some people were able to get that extra bonus or pay raise from the companies they were working for.

Yes you did. The point of the OP is the middle class workers are picking up the tab for low wage workers pay increases.

I work in a nursing home and not much has changed so I’ve had my job the whole time. We had a slight bump at the very beginning for just nursing people, and then for a while everybody had a slight bump on top of that. But since then we all back in a normal wages so I also do not get why these people are not going back to work

Yep. And most are too ignorant to realize what real inflation does.
Anyone who is not old enough to remember the Jimmah Cahtah late 1970's has no idea what is fixing to happen.
And it will be exponentially worse.
