If I got even a $0.025 raise every year I would be making over $0.11 a line, over the maximum allowed. On the other hand, I have gotten raises, but only because I have been a very squeaky wheel. The problem that I have had is having multiple supervisors over the past several years, seldom having one long enough for them to get to know me before they were replaced. If you are confident in the quality of your work and up to date with all the latest BOS and MQ guidelines, step up and ask for what you want. I have done this severak times over the last year, sometimes having to be very persistent, but in the end have gotten everything I have asked for.
