I have been working at my current company for two years. Because China’s economic environment is not good, I have never dared to leave this job.

which china?

paddirn,

Yep, been at this job 10 years and only seeing annual raises of about 2%. Maybe we got 3-4% last year, but that was the exception and that was still a 4-5% paycut given what inflation is/was. I’m comfortable at my job though is what keeps me, and I’m sure that’s what businesses bank on. Workers are too afraid to look elsewhere for a job, so they’ll just stick it out no matter how much they’re losing.

CaptPretentious,

I’ve been with the same place for about 16 years. I wasted a lot of time staying in one department trying to be the best employee. I’ve moved repeatedly just within the company. Because moving within the company is pretty easy to do. The yearly pay raises I was getting was garbage. By moving departments and renegotiating my pay I’ve effectively doubled my pay from 4 years ago.

When there’s no incentive to stay but all the reason to go…

hubobes,

I get what the market gets, we pay the average for your age, experience and some other factors. So I get a bump anyway since I am older and have more experience every year and when the market gets a bump that adds to that. So it is somewhere between 5-15% per year. Except for this year where somehow the average pay went down and I got zilch. Still the company is fully owned by its employees (I make like 3k a year from dividends, not a lot but it is basically free money) and the benefits are great. So not eager to jump ship just for a pay increase.

therealrjp,

We all have a different idea of what a high salary is but I would suggest anything in the area of $100k or the equivalent is good in almost any part of the world.

That said, I have a good salary which has risen by a little less than 65% in the 10 years I’ve been in the same job. I realise that’s not typical but changing jobs isn’t always the only way to a high salary.

Yep, a medium sized youtuber that worked as HR said this to everyone that is looking for a raise: change company and come back.

AgentGrimstone,

It sucks but it’s true. These days, loyalty just means you’re easier to take for granted.
