Thought I was going to get laid off. Got a (small) raise instead. Go figure. |

Congrats!
I understand the concern, though. My nurse manager called me at work (haven't spoken to the woman since she took over). My first thought was "what did I do wrong" -- no raise, but at least I wasn't in trouble.

Congrats, Erik!
I like to do it the other way around. Make my boss think I'm going to quit and then ask for a raise. In my line of work, you only get very small raises unless you ask for them explicitly.
Actually, last time it happened, I didn't mean to make anyone think I was quitting, it's just that he felt my calling the meeting was ominous, and he was relieved when I didn't tell him I was quitting.
'Course, I was horribly underpaid, so he knew it had to be one or the other.

How cool is that. I cannot recall that I have had that experience before, it must feel AWESOME though!

Very good, Erik...
That is like my husband. He always thinks he's getting fired... and then he gets a raise and a promotion.

There is an old Chinese proverb that states:
"He who expects nothing is never disappointed...."
But it's a great day when you have something to really be excited about. Way to go! | |
