Woot! I love raise time!

I got a raise today, woooohoo! It was much bigger than I expected and I'm super stoked! Of course, it will all be going to savings, but doesn't make it any less exciting :) It's nice to have your hard work rewarded!

Re: Woot! I love raise time!

  • Congrats...I am sure it as well deserved!!! You can treat yourself with a little something at least with the first paycheck with the extra $$ :) and then savings! :)

  • Party!!! woot woot!! It's so nice to be recognized, but it's sooo0o much better when you get more than expected. I agree with the previous post... enjoy that first paycheck.
  • Congrats that's awesome.
  • YAYAYAY!! How exciting. It definetly feels great to be rewarded for all your hard work. Good job Eli.                                                    

    I have my yearly review in two weeks so I am crossing my fingers and toes that I will be as lucky as you.

  • Whoo-hoo Congrats!!! That's awesome, but I agree with Gladys enjoy the first check and splurg a little and then save the rest!!!

    Drinks Let's toast to your raise ...so that you may have many more in the future!!

  • Eli, that's awesome!  We are suppose to have reviews this month,but my boss is slacking.  Last yr there wasn't any raises, and I smell that this yr either.  I've been working here for almost 2 yrs now.

    One of the reasons I left my previous employer was b/c I went 2 yrs w/out a raise...

  • Thanks ladies! I'm really excited! Maybe I'll get myself a new bag this weekend to celebrate :) I've been eyeing a few Michael Kors beauties!

    And I feel all of you who are stuck in the freeze. I hadn't gotten a raise in two years either - our company froze raises and this is the first year we got them again, which is probably why it was significant. I'm so so thankful.
