Why is it the rules change almost every other day? My boss had put in for a 10% raise last year. Of course it still has not gone through and I called them about it today. Well for the institution, according to their bylaws or whatever you call them, you can get up to a 15% raise. Now according to this department they are only wanting to give out 5%. How the hell does that work? Every time we turn around they come up with new stupid rules that go against what the university has set up. So not only will I not get the 10% but I still haven’t gotten even the 5%. I guess I can thank my lucky stars that they haven’t “lost” the paperwork like that last jackass they had in that spot and that was after she said we didn’t deserve a raise when that wasn’t her call. It is like the money is coming out of their own paychecks or something. If she couldn’t get a raise that’s not our problem, her only job was to push the paperwork through for us to get ours.
Now I get to wait longer until I can talk to my boss about it all yet again because it is always a hassle. Every single time.

I sometimes think paperpushers who feel under appreciated deliberately try to piss of enough other people in the system to force changes in their area. It’s not a good plan, and it often backfires, but I have seen it happen a few times and it is the only explanation I have thus far.
Pay increases where I work always seem to be at least 6 months behind employment anniversary dates. Mine this past year was 3 days shy of 12 months late.
I know that people might think it is crass to complain about getting a raise when others might not or don’t have a job at all but still. The thing that pisses me off the most about it is that when they pay retro for the raise being late, they do not do any 401k matching on that retro amount… It almost seems like a trick for them to save money.
