Popular Post Parr8hed Posted July 1, 2022 Popular Post Share #1 Posted July 1, 2022 Called me yesterday. The big dog in this area. "Parr8, we have done a market adjustment on your salary". "OK?" , I am thinking that they are cutting money because they are paying nurses too much. "Effective last paycheck you will see an additional 3.50 an hour on top of your base pay" Dang! Now I can almost afford to fill up to 3/4 of a tank instead of just half! Nothing I asked for, but I will damn sure take it! 8 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just market adjusted our nurses some at 5.50 more. Others a bit less. They seemed happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An extra $7000/year, assuming a 2000 hr work/year is something to celebrate! Congratulations! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be dope. That's the good news. The bad news is that with the shortage of new vehicles, they have to repurpose an old hearse to give him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerrySTL ★ Posted July 1, 2022 Share #8 Posted July 1, 2022 Hopefully that's more than inflation and it is a real rise in income. Nursing is one career where there's always job openings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nursing is one career where there's always job openings. More than likely it just matches inflation and is not truly a raise. But I will take it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr ★ Posted July 1, 2022 Share #10 Posted July 1, 2022 Can you have your boss' boss call my boss? I have been trying to get cost of living increases for our office staff and my appeals are falling on deaf ears. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted July 1, 2022 Share #11 Posted July 1, 2022 Good news and smart move. If there are other jobs available at that rate, much better for the company to pay their existing staff than have to hire and train new people at that rate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parr8's Boss' Boss: Give Jsharr's office staff cost of living increases, or I'm sending the Parr8 over to harvest all your organs and stick you in a tub full of ice. Jsharr's Boss: AAAAAIIIIEEEEE! Not the Parr8! Cost of living raises for the entire office, retroactive to Jan 1st, but call off the Parr8! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Square Wheels Posted July 2, 2022 Share #17 Posted July 2, 2022 The last market adjustment I gave to staff was 100% based on years of service. I had a horrible performer, I was not able to get rid of them. HR was impossible to deal with. I gave her an $11 an hour raise as part of the adjustment. I on the other hand was already considered overpaid and got nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
