Re: 1 year anniversary @ my job today...
I am at about 2.5 years. I started at $10 as a 'I just need a job' sort of thing doing fab work building parts at Warrior. Laid off after a month, came back two weeks later at $13.15 (not a bad 3 month raise).
At 1 year I went to $15.50. 2 years went to $16.25 and 4 months later I am now at $16.75.
Doing pretty good, started as entry production work, eventually worked up into the more complicated jobs, and then at the beginning of my 2 year took on the project of running rjroffroad.com as the IT Director and thats still a work in progress, as I am also officially Lead Trainer on the production floor.
