So I'm asking for a raise today. It has been a year since my last evaluation, and during that time I took over a graphic/web designer and continue to be IT administrator within the organization. It's about time to get some more out of it. Will keep you posted. Wish me luck.

It's like 25% increase.No trees were killed in the posting of this message. However a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.

That could actually be a bigger deal for you than a pay raise, as you won't be the one hit with the taxes.Studying and Reading:

heh sure, just let me know where you are and I'll talk to your boss. To be honest I was expecting a raise around 5-6%. What I got is awesome, nevertheless I have a feeling that I'm kinda trapped in this job..you know, they pay for my school as long as I'm with them....No trees were killed in the posting of this message.

If you don't get a raise that is equal to or better than the increase in cost of living, you are effectively making less than you did the year before. I believe that is what he was referring to.
