2019 Salary Increase

cguy said:
If you are just riding above the inflation rate, you are probably letting certain things slide. Specifically, your yearly increase should be greater than inflation, and your promotions should be much greater. Also, you should get promoted occasionally. Which hasn’t been happening? These are usually signs it is time to move on (I.e., the ideal time to job hop).

cguy, I fully agree with you. It doens't help that in SA we had the lost Zuma decade where we slipped backward when the world economy moved forward. Confidence in the economy has not nearly recovered to where it could and should have been.
 
0%, company not doing well, retrenchment started and I have been demoted.
 
I hear about hundreds of retrenchments for every job offer I hear about these days.
 
Well I was up for a 5% but left the company and and got a 20% instead. Sadly I do have to travel a lot for the new job, but having no kids helps a little to justify it to the missus and myself. Always some give and take I suppose. :)
 
I have a question for those earning under inflation, why do you stick with the company if it now wants to pay you less for the same amount of work? Is your entire industry that badly done in that they all had contractions?

I think a poll should be added,
Something like "under inflation, not searching; under inflation, searching; over inflation, but searching; over inflation, happy; promotion same company; promotion via new company".

@cguy your 0% is US right? That's around 1.6% inflation, and your main income is shares, so the question there is if your shares improved in value above 1.6%.

My main income is from bonuses (at my current job, I did get shares before, but that was 10-ish years ago), so what I get is what I get. Sometimes it goes up, sometimes it goes down, depending on how we do.
