Nice! I just got ~29% payrise (my first one) 2-3 weeks ago.
And then... they announce Yesterday, that they will have to let go people, because they just found out that the financial status of the company is not looking that good. So yeah... just hoping that maybe I will not be one of the selected people. -
@coffeeholic I won't say I'm satisfied. I have a lot to learn and a long way to go. I'm just happy about the idea that this is a good place to work.

So my employer just offered me a 57% raise out of the blue!
Last Friday, I got a meeting invite from the CEO (its a small 15 person company, so he looks after most of the management stuff) titled "{{myname}} - Salary Review". No agenda there. I was fuckin scared that maybe my salary will be chopped short due to the virus and shit. They recently let go of one guy in my team, and are about to hire two new guys. Also, my last raise was this January. So I didn't think any good could come out of this meeting.
I joined the zoom and he asked if I was happy with the current salary. I said "yes" like an idiot, but added that the prices in my country are rising a lot. He made smalltalk on costs of groceries and Corona and my family, and that was it. 57%.
I was smiling like a dumbass at the end of the meeting. This guy is like the Hyman Roth of this business.
