NYHCx516x

Good news, total surprise pay raise today! My whole team is getting bumped up a paygrade to do the work of our managers bugging HR.

The downside.. (or upside... depends on how you look at it..)... it exactly covers my new, higher Car Insurance rates after getting my new car. And slightly more down, the Insurance rate will go up more once they figure in my car accident... so ill be a bit behind the 8 ball.

But, its a higher base pay, for future pay increase percentages to be based off.

congrats on the raise!
Too bad I'm stuck doing a "summer placement" between semmesters.....they could give me a 200% raise and I'd still be working for free!!!!!! Ok, now I'm depressed, lol.

I don't think I ever had a raise that something else didn't seem to eat it, usually health insurance. Funny how that always seems to happen. But congrats anyway brother.

I got a 17 1/2% pay raise but with high gas, rising insurance, and the Barack Hussein economy it amounts to jack squat and more taxes.

Beano. That would solve 1/3 of your problems and doesn't cost that much.
