Has anyone actually had a REAL pay rise?

My position in my company pays me a salary that keeps me comfortable, but I found out yesterday the amount I’m paid in this role hasn’t changed since 1995. That’s actually crazy to me. I did get a small raise last and this year but it’s such a small amount that just buying MILK now cancels it out now. My pay rise covers my milk.

Back home in the UK granted things are more expensive, but wages are going up (slowly). Japanese wages barely have.

I’d love to hear from someone working for a company who’s received a significant pay rise that they actually feel. Did you beg for it? Did you get ol’ Tomita San in a headlock and politely make the request? How did it come about?

The general feels seems to be 3%-6% a year.
