Title: how much was your COL adjustment? Post by: Aske on January 15, 2008, 10:16:03 AM http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/01/15/AR2008011501026.html?hpid=topnews [sm_disgust] not enough!
Title: Re: how much was your COL adjustment? Post by: spacey on January 15, 2008, 10:40:13 AM We don't get COLAs. I will say, however, that my performance based merit increase has failed to keep up with the rising cost of daily living. Thank god for nursing shortages and the associated wages.

So I'm due a really big mofo 'bout now. Title: Re: how much was your COL adjustment? Post by: Fuzzy on January 15, 2008, 11:10:59 AM We don't get COLAs. I will say, however, that my I was thinking the same thing. We were given the range of where our performance based merit increase would be before our performance reviews even happened. :) BTW, the total range was 0.4%. The incentive to bust your ass around here has really taken a beating the past two (funny, post big merger) years. Title: Re: how much was your COL adjustment? Post by: Walfredo on January 15, 2008, 11:28:40 AM Funny I just had my annual performance review. Every year our annual salary is benchmarked for our position within our region and we get a benchmark increase. Then we move up within our pay grade pretty much every year until you max out at your position even if you are a retard. When I busted my ass I got the same one jump from Fully Proficient Grade 21 to Advanced Grade 21. When I slacked off and was on the interwebs a lot. I got a review saying great job keep up the good work here is your $5k raise to your annual salary. But we get an annual bonus that is almost a guarantee to be at least 25% of your taxable annual salary. So I can't complain too much other than I'm so *goshdarn* bored.
