    My company said that we’d have to accept a 1.3% raise or nothing. The union just agreed to 1.3%. To keep up with inflation, it should’ve been around 8%. And this is in Denmark! I have no fucking clue why my union has no balls, but I, for one, am not happy with them. The CFO gave herself a 30% increase two years ago, but what the fuck do we get? Fucking pebbles, and we’ll be happy. When management heard about the complaints, the managers say “but you got a bonus this year, that should count for something”. Go fuck yourself. A bonus is NOT part of the salary, you greedy mother fuckers!! I’ll be at another job next year.

      I had a job that gave us a 3% raise (when cost of living in our area went up 8% that year).

      On my next check the raise was less than 1% so I went to HR.

      “The raise is quarterly. You actually get 4 raises this year!”

      They thought giving .75 % increase every quarter counted as a 3% raise.

      “At the end of the year you have a 3% total increase, which is what we said you would get. 3% minimum raise every year. We have met our obligation. Why are you being so difficult?”
