To be insulted by this?

[93porless]

I've been promised a pay rise commensurate with my job responsibilities for some time now, and my boss recently made me an offer that equates to an extra 93p an hour.

I haven't received one pay rise since starting there 2 years ago, not even for inflation.

Aibu to feel insulted and want to leave instead?

depending on your current wage that might be a good increase or a crap one -- if you're an 18 year old on minimum wage that's a health % increase! So it really depends. You're allowed to feel however you like about it.

Depends what your wage is. For me that would be a 9% increase, so I'd be happy. A previous job we got a 2% increase each year.

Depends what you earn as whether or not its insulting. Better than a poke in the eye though.

I'm a nurse, nursing 33 years, I have a 16p an hour rise this April.
It's all relative. You are free to look for something better paying if you choose

If you're on £40k a year this is about 4.5%.

If you're on £18k then its nearer 10%.

So as per pp, it depends how much you're already paid and also how other employees have been treated (eg has anyone else had an inflationary pay rise)

As far as my experience goes, very few people are getting any raise this year, so... But if you think you are worth more, then go for another job that pays more.

Not many people had pay rises last year, cos Covid.
Be happy you have a job, and you're getting a rise of around £7.50 per day (£35 pw).
Assuming 8 hour day

Why do people always spout the be happy you’ve got a job line?!!

I haven't received one pay rise since starting there 2 years ago, not even for inflation.

I started at a job 2 years ago and haven't had a pay rise, didn't think it was that unusual.

Try the public sector - I’ve had 3% in total over the past 10 years. There’ll be nothing at all this year despite the inflation on basic things like food.

How many hours a week do you work?

An extra £37 a week isn’t actually that bad.

What’s your salary?

We get a slight pay rise annually then bigger ones if we take on more responsibility. That sounds crap.

I didnt get a rise for 11 years in my previous job,. I left and walked into a job with less hours and 40% more money

That is just under £2k a year. I have been earning well above average for some years and I would consider that a pretty reasonable rise. I think because you have expressed it as pence per hour you are making ti sounds worse than it really is.

That's £1800 a year, that's not a bad raise depending on your starting salary. 23 to 24.8k will feel bigger than 50 to 51.8k

If you think you can get a job earning more money for doing the same thing, it potentially would be worth leaving anyway.

But that might be quite a big "if" depending on your job.

@93porless what is your salary? The answers aren’t terribly useful without this context.

Best way to get a pay rise is to change jobs.

It's entirely up to the business what they pay you, and it's entirely up to you whether you stay or not.

If you think you can get more elsewhere then you should consider your options but as others have said it’s all relative to your currently hourly rate in terms of percentages pay rise

Well say you work 40 hours week. That's what almost an extra £40 per week or £160 PCM. It'll pay or at least go toward paying a bill.

That’s a good % on a salary above the national average 🤷🏻‍♀️
Think you’re going to have to given more figures OP, otherwise your question is meaningless.

Unless you're on six figures that's really decent rise.

But of course if you can do better elsewhere you should go for it, if you want to.

Hard to say. It really depends on what your current salary is, how that compares to the going rate for your job, and whether you’ve taken on lots of additional responsibility since your last rise.

As a standard annual uplift, based on an average salary, it’s probably fairly standard and not something to be insulted by.
