Even with wage growth expanding in Canada as of late, it is still 2.2% y/y which would suggest that 5% is more of the exception than the norm. 5% - sorry, 4.666% - sounds pretty good.

Percentage is relative. Going from 50-60k (20%) feels great compared to 200-210k (5%).
All in all, you're paid what your perceived value is.

5%? Try 2-2.5% being the norm. Last year was max 2%, year before was a wage freeze.Ken_vs_Ryu wrote: ↑ End of year raises. Anyone else get less than 5%, is this the new norm? 4.666 I mean they couldn't round it up?

Some years nothing. I would expect no more than inflation if anything. 5% would be good.
PS - I didn't realize "end of year" raises were a thing. I've never gotten an increase at this time of year in any company I've worked for.

Neither have I. Our raises and bonus payments usually happen in February after the financial results for the year are released.Chickinvic wrote: ↑ Some years nothing. I would expect no more than inflation if anything. 5% would be good.

Usually your raises are also reflective to the pay band scale if your company has one - if you are at the HIGH end of the scale, expect that your bonus keeps on dropping yearly unless you fall under different circumstances.

On the plus side our stock price has doubled so the stock purchase program has kicked butt.

I got 5.5% for mid-2017. I was told i got the biggest raise in our team. Not sure if it's really true, or if it's biggest in % or in actual dollar value.
Not too happy tho as I'm really looking for a promotion which my manager said so surely would happen for the last 2 years. So it's nothing but a sour loser prize to me. Well i guess it showed I'm still somewhat valuable to the manager at least?!
