[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you only offered me a 5% raise I would quit. Beware.[/quote]

Good luck finding another job with a bad recommendation.  You're horrible and entitled.[/quote]

Nonsense.  PP is neither horrible nor entitled.  [b]Most professions[/b] give an annual raise.  And if she gave her current employers adequate notice, why would they give her a bad recommendation?

My rent can go up 10% a year.  I wouldn't want to leave my position but I would if my salary could no longer cover my living expenses.  [/quote]

Not true.  My husband and I have never gotten annual raises.  Many companies and government jobs are not giving raises and bonuses.  [/quote]

"Most professions..."  And you and your husband were not among the "most" in PP's "most professions".  So her statement was not untrue.  [/quote]

While I think it would be misleading in the DC area that something was true of "most" jobs if it wasn't true of any government jobs, the PP's claim that government jobs are not giving raises is patently untrue. Feds got a 1% COL increase this year + the vast majority of feds get at least a step increase (unless they've been working in their current GS level for more than 10 years).
