Yes, I'm a permie. I'm thinking of donating my pay rise to charity.Originally posted by thunderlizard View PostI believe he is a permie.
And it does sound like he got a pay rise without having to ask, which is more than we contractors do.

Do you mean a rate increase? Or are you a permie?Originally posted by Moose423956 View PostI was just called into an office to be handed a letter telling me my pay rise this year is 3%. Same as everyone else. What's the point of working hard and trying to be professional if everyone gets the same? I was hoping for at least 10%.
Whoop-de-doo!

Because surely 3% of 'your rate' means that ultimately you are getting paid what you are worth for being a professional, and the 3% is to keep it in line with inflation.Originally posted by Moose423956 View PostI was just called into an office to be handed a letter telling me my pay rise this year is 3%.

I'm considering giving myself a 17% pay rise from 6k to 7k. I think I'll write a letter to myself tonight.
