When one of the guys in our group moved to a different group he told us he got a 20% bump in salary. And, you know, glad for him, but kinda resentful that this other group apparently just makes more than us as a matter of course. It's not obvious as to why that should be.
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

When I moved to a new role, I was told that there was never any circumstance where someone working here got more than a 10% raise, no matter how much of a promotion they recieved. Which I found interesting, because I had TWICE received a raise of more than 10%, both times when they thought I was going to leave.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My department treats salaries as closely-held secrets of state, but the company has a fairly transparent policy, or it seems so by comparison. Salary ranges for all the salary bands are posted on the internal website, and every year at review we're told our "compa ratio" which gives where our current salary falls within the range. (I think my boss is really proud of herself for knowing what the ratio means and how to compute it.) If our ratio goes much over 1.0 they promote us or make a title/position for us; they don't like having people paid outside their salary range. Two months after I was hired here I got a surprise raise of a couple K, and I suspect it was because they'd hired me at below the range.

In different news, just as I'm about to wrap up my volunteer involvement in CJ's search and rescue team I've been asked to take on a larger role with the therapy horse group. I'm looking forward to both changes.

You just have to read the whole site, so then it's just the new posts to worry about.

And our newly upgraded ERP has crashed. Or something. Is not currently available. If it doesn't come back up before my day is officially over I'm not hanging around for it...
