My husband spoke with his boss yesterday about the raise he’s supposed to receive.  His boss told him that the company hired an independent firm to compare their management’s salaries to “like salaries” of management in similar companies.  I hope that made sense.  Well it turns out that my husband’s company pays in the bottom 10% of all similar companies.  That’s not good.  So supposedly my husband is going to be getting a big raise, when it’ll come is anyones guess.

This same time last year we were hearing the same sort of story, “You are getting a raise”.   It took over 6 months for that raise to show up and of course they didn’t do any back pay.   We’re just happy it finally showed up.
