Figured this would be the place to put it. I was at work yesterday, getting towards the end of my shift, when the head of the pr dept. came out and asked me if I could come to her office for a few minutes. Obviously, my first thought was "what did I do that I'm about to get yelled at for". So I went down to her office, and she asked me to have a seat. She then hands me a piece of paper and says that I have been doing a great job and that I have earned a raise. This probably the happiest I've been in a very long time, so I figured I'd come here and brag about it .

Thanks for hearing me out...just wanted to post about it!.

In an economy like this, that's something to be mighty proud about indeed!  Congrats and I hope you enjoy it!  IT's always nice to feel like you are worth more and to actually receive it.  ^.^

I just found out that I haven't been getting paid as I should.
No wonder I go from pay check to pay check.

I'm owed over 10,000 from the last two years alone.
And I'm receiving it in a lump check.  half of it will go to taxes, of course, but still.....

I'm getting a raise!
True, it's what I SHOULD have been getting, but I'm not complaining.  I'll get $6,000 more per year.

Incidentally, they also had me listed as the wrong race.
That's the Board of Education for ya...

awesome! I recently got a raise too and I found out through talking to people that I got 5% more than most of the rest of the staff which was awesome. I did change positions at about the same time I got my raise so I think that was part of it.

Still awesome to make more money no matter how much more it is.

That's great news man. I used to love getting raises back when I actually earned them. Now it's just something I'm disappointed I didn't have before. XD

geeogree : We actually had a person put in their 2 weeks notice because they were told at their evaluation they wouldn't be getting a raise this year...so yeah, I'm definitely happy about it.

Singelli : What are you doing that they pay you like that...That is crazy. I've heard of that happening before with the military...but never teachers. I assume teacher since you said board of education.

Eddy: It was a good raise, especially for this economy. Plus I get a lot of overtime at the job I work at, so it will add up to quite a bit extra fast.

redskiller76 : This is my first raise (I'm only 21)...so It's pretty exciting.

Yep, I'm a teacher.

It wasn't anything I did, really.  I have a master's degree, but they only had me listed as having a bachelor's.  They had not a SINGLE paper in my file that was evidence of my master's, even though I know I sent it to them when I graduated.

Thankfully, yes.  I was afraid to ask, so when I was talking to the lady on the phone, I just meekly asked "Out of curiosity, how much pay did I miss out on?"

She quickly interrupted me though to say that I WOULD be getting back pay... as though she was afraid I'd sue.  LOL

And so that's what I was referring to when I said I was owed $10,000 for the last two years.  Most of it will go to taxes, but I can't complain.  I thought they'd break it between various paychecks, but nope... one lump sum! 

Considering I will get paid $500 extra a month (before taxes) and I can expect a $10,000 check (before taxes) in February?  Well I can't deny that put a smile on my face for most of the day.

Singelli : That is seriously awesome. That should show up as quite a bit extra when you go to get your taxes done as well! I'm glad that they are doing the right thing and giving you the back-pay.

Oh man, me too!  I wasn't expecting it all and just wanted my information fixed.  I can't believe God has chosen to bless me so much!  I guess it just goes to show that God -does- answer prayers.  ^.^

Anyways, I didn't mean to take away your happiness or gloat or anything.  It's just that when I heard that today it made me think of your post.   It's awesome that you're getting a pay raise and I'm sure you'll get more if you already showed that you deserved this one.

I'm going to stop sandwich posting now.

That's awesome in more ways than one! The extra pay is always helpful, but it is also great to know you are being appreciated for your work! Don't let it get to your head, just keep doing what you're doing.
