I had a job that gave us a 3% raise (when cost of living in our area went up 8% that year).
On my next check the raise was less than 1% so I went to HR.
“The raise is quarterly. You actually get 4 raises this year!”
They thought giving .75 % increase every quarter counted as a 3% raise.
“At the end of the year you have a 3% total increase, which is what we said you would get. 3% minimum raise every year. We have met our obligation. Why are you being so difficult?”
