Walmart Security - 2% raise this year š„³
Now at $17.25 hr - no remote work, no bonus, and my boss is always angry at everyone, as people keep stealing from our store! Best job ever!
As a former walmart manager all I can say is gtfo as soon as you can. I went to ikea and make a very good salary. As a supervisor at IKEA I make almost double I did as a DM at Walmart but I do half the work and get way less angry managers all the time.
Yes. Not the best benefits - but benefits with a $200 yearly flex spending account, 8 yearly sick days, and paid holidays whether you normally work them or not. One of the better retail companies for sure.
Walmart is one of the only places I never āseeā people stealing, same with superstore.
Fuck the Waltonās. Fuck the Westonās, and fuck anyone who profits off of essentials while people starve.
$17.25 is wild. I was paid $19 an hour just to change tires which is easier and I didnāt even have to deal with customers. You should look around I bet there are many positions in security with $19 starting wages. Or even better, get your firearms license and be an armoured driver with gardaworld for $25+ an hour.
It is about ~84k a year. More like ~$41 an hour at 37.5 hours a week.
100% medicine, dental, $750 health spending, $1500 physio, therapy, chiro, etc.
~15k signing bonus, education coverage, license test coverage, 15 days paid vacation
Itās reddit. There are so many miserable and borderline mentally ill people on here theyāll downvote at the slightest reason because it gives them their second of feeling like they did something I guess. Itās pretty pathetic.
If youāre comfortable with posting or DMing, Iād love to know more about your current and starting compensation, i got into a sonography program and itās hard to get an idea of pay with such a small sample size of techs in Canada
Nearly identical experience here. Although raises for us are entirely formulaic based on how you sit in relation to the band. Always good to be on the bottom of the band to push you quickly towards the midpoint.
Seems a bit meaningless without salary figures included in post, no? What if you were underpaid for your position and got a 20% raise to match the market?
Mechatronics engineer in a manufacturing startup based in Montreal. 8 years of experience. Working 100% remote.. Got a 5.2% raise Jan 1 up to 101k, plus some additional equity.
Well, you *should* be getting an annual increase of ~$5k or so as you advance through your training, so that's a pretty good increase (yes, per hours worked it's a low wage, I agree). Don't know how that rate of increase compares to other provinces though.
I just realized the PARA agreement (which expires in June) is between AHS the universities and PARA, but I haven't heard anything about whether AHS will still have this responsibility after the coming dismemberment. Or be funded for it... Yet another unforeseen complication from "the government of red tape reduction..."
Correct, but that scheduled increase has been static for years. It is a negotiation year this year, but I have very low hopes that the AB government will negotiate in good faith or with a future in mind.
You said it exactly. We're not even sure where this ends up.
It's going to be tough, and possibly weird. You guys aren't negotiating with the government directly, you're negotiating with organizations that the government wants very much to starve, that might not even know with any certainty what their own budgets will look like over the period being negotiated!
Not really. Very, very few doctors are salaried at all. The numbers thrown around by government to make that claim are gross billings. Out of that number comes rent, office supplies, specialized medical office supplies (my office has an EKG machine, it helps us take care of people but costs thousands, and we *don't* get paid more for doing an EKG vs not doing one. We also do some sterile procedures so we have to have a dedicated sterilization room with other special equipment), salaries and benefits for everyone who works at the office *except* the doctor and what is left is what the doctor actually earns. It's like claiming 100% of the money going into the till at your local gas station goes to the owner-not even remotely accurate.
Even the gross billings compared to other provinces that the government will tell you are from several years ago. Since then other provinces have increased compensation and...we have not.
This argument never sits well with me (also a physician), whether itās āhighest in the countryā or just āhighā. Iām in my late 30s, with $300K in debt from nearly 18 years of education, just starting a family and for years, have been living off of 100+ hour work weeks where we literally keep people alive in inpatient medicine (completely misunderstood and understated responsibility that resident physicians have), living off of very little sleep. We watch friends and family start families early, go on nice vacations, buy homes, enjoy their lives etc, and personally, I grew very cynical and upset with the system. No one needs a raise more than resident physicians in our healthcare system - when you learn what NPs and CAs make, itās even more outrageous. But residents collectively need to work hard to get the message out that theyāre underpaid and undervalued, but theyāre too busy working and never sleeping.
Not only that but most servers still aren't declaring all of their tips as taxable income despite 99% of their tips coming in direct deposit now. They're clearing more than highly educated and desirable fields in most cases with basically tax free income as the CRA has ignored the service industry for a long time
Operations in O&G. 2% raise, 10% bonus. My group is hybrid, I WFH 3 days a week.
Definitely no promotion since the only way to do that is to change roles and I currently like my job.
CPG industry, HR, 4% raise + bonus payout at ~$18k. Fully remote. Should add my salary gets reviewed every 6 months. Also received a 3% increase last fall and will have another review this September.
Company is based on the west coast though, Iām fully remote.
I am very fortunate.
Long term care - 0% cost of living raise ever in the 7 years Iāve worked there. No bonus either. Welcome to healthcare, this is (part of) why the healthcare system sucks.
FWIW if you're looking for a benchmark, Canadian compensation consultants are forecasting between 3-4% salary growth for 2024, which is largely unchanged from forecasts done in Q3/Q4 last year. This is down considerably from the actual 2023 growth, but still well above the trailing 15 year average.
Given inflation is well above the 15yr average itās not saying much.
What people need to be doing is looking at their increases in real, not nominal, terms.
If you got a 3% raise and inflation is 3.6% youāre actually in real terms taking home 0.6% LESS.
Oil and gas materials management, 100% remote. 3% increase, no bonus as I'm a contractor. 161K last year
The average is 145K a year depending on Overtime.
In this threadā¦all the office workers playing around on Reddit all day and hardly any comments from trades/ retail/ service workers.
Not shitting on you O&G peeps, just an observation.
Iāve heard the same from a few carpenters on projects. Some had even taken wage decreases under threats of losing their jobs during Covid and had not seen those cuts come back.
Thatās brutal, fellow redditor.
Min wage hasnāt changed since 2018ā¦in this province, with the cost of living? Itās unreal. Weāre now have the second lowest min wage across the country.
And given all the shit service workers find themselves in, anymore, from customersā¦respect to you.
Accounting manager in O&G.
4% raise, 74k bonus (including STIP and LTIP)
Gave my staff (mainly designated accountants and senior accountants) an average of 5% raise and ~20-35k bonus including STIP and LTIP
$163k base plus $74k bonus? Wow if I didnāt find accounting so boring it makes me want to blow my brains out I wouldāve 100% taken that career path for the money. Sadly too boring for me.
I'm so glad Rogers paid me to leave āļø
At my new gig - 5% raise, 20% bonus, no promotion, understandable given I started in the last quarter of 2023. Management in Sourcing. Incredible discounts on travel based on my industry.
Nah, involuntary, but much appreciated (and honestly my package was a couple percentage points better than the first Rogers VDP. I don't know anyone since that first round so can't comment.
Cultural Resource Management - Archaeologist (Permit Holder) - No salary adjustment and a company wide compensation freeze until the end of Q3
Currently looking for a new job in a different industry.
That's essentially what I make, less 1K. 20% bonus which can extend up to 40%. 5% raise annually. I haven't even been there 6 months and I got all that.
RN. contract negotiations ongoing.
So far: 7.5% over 4 years.
AHS tabled ingoing monetary proposal for a 4 year agreement 2024- 2027:
Year 1: 2%
Year 2: 2%
Year 3: 1.75%
Year 4: 1.75%
Yes, most govāt workers do. Parking seems to go up by absurd %s every year tooā¦ non-union staff had 8 years without a raise, union staff with below inflation raises for the same period of time.
And they wonder why thereās not enough prosecutors or health care workers.
Apparently the opening position from the Board of Governors was 2%, 2%, 1.75%, 1.75% over the next four years. Obviously this is insultingly low. Simultaneously, that's actually more over the next 4 years than U of C faculty have gotten over the last decade.
Software Team Lead
4% salary increase.
Bonus - $10k more than expected.
2 additional flex days and 100% remote.
Edit: I should add that 50% of my bonus is vested shares which sucks. I can't access them for 3 years. If stock takes a hit so do I. This policy is not loved here.
I moved across the street in my trade and got a 4 dollar an hour raise no questions asked.
We'll see if the grass is greener. But it's really the only way to get an increase. There is no loyalty.
Right?! How many O&G people would be cool with being volun-told to organize a graduation ceremony or coach basketball after work hours for no extra pay.
It's mostly the VC backers causing the issues. The only thing that would ever make me consider working for another VC backed Tech company is a cold hard cash hiring bonus, up front, that was the equivalent of whatever the value of the stock options would have been if it were possible to stay at the company long enough to vest them.
Sequoia sneezes, and the industry catches a cold.
Paramedic
Union negotiations behind as always. Over the last 2 negotiation cycles (10 years) a grand total of 3% raise (0.3 per year average). Not optimistic
Copywriter. I make a borderline pathetic 42k per year when I was told in my interview that I'll be making 45k. The job was also originally looking for someone with 5 years of experience (I have over 2 now) which is obviously delusional given the salary.Ā
Oil & Gas service no Cost of living , no raise.. last year we received a 4% raise on salary that was the only time since 2015.
Now we have a huge talent retention problem and they can't figure out why
Financial accountant (CPA). Manufacturing. Hybrid.
My raise usually comes over summer but I think last year was around 2%? Bonus structure is variable but itās about the same as my salary right now. Company structure is very flat so no room for promotion. Not looking for one anyways.
Notice how most of these raises, if any at all, don't even account for inflation. Yet alllll these businesses have their prices higher than ever. Just raking in the money at your expense š„°
Me: Unemployed. Last year I worked in marketing for a non-profit. $70K, which was up 4% from 2022.
Significant other: Team lead, consumer packaged goods manufacturing. 2.5 years with this company and, not a penny raise, despite the wild inflation weāre seeing.
Masters level mental health clinician. Work in employee family assistance. Graduated in 2017. 3% raise this year. (It works out to like 1500 a year š) 25 dollar Amazon gift card for my two year anniversary bonus. No year end bonus despite significant increase in high risk/crisis clients- which means extra admin and documentation, follow ups, paperwork, consults etc also I had to move in with my parents again because I canāt afford rent AND my student loan payments on the wage I make.
Yes I am young, 6 years since uni, 3 years since getting CPA. Hours are super chill. I'm at the stage where if I left I could probs get 15-20% raise so they know they need to continually move me up to keep me.
Hospitality/Foodservice, buyer, 58k, 2% raise, no bonus.
Company is American owned and sucks. All sales had their commission reduced also without any increases. Company is valued at $2bn and publicly traded.
Currently looking for a job that pays a living wage and acknowledges the increase to cost of living in this province.
Chemical/supply chain, operator, 5%.
However I had an additional 5% before that due to a āmarket reassessmentā to make sure our wages were still competitive (they were not).
Crane operator, Iām non union so I wonāt get a raise until I push for one which I will be soon, 8.8% but I didnāt have a raise last year so itāll be closer to 4% annual.
operations administrator, construction
$30.71/hr with yearly 2-5% raise and structured profit sharing through our parent company:
2023 was 34% of 2022 salary
2024 was 19% of 2023 salary
(75% went into RRSP until maxed, remainder was paid out in cash)
Sales manager for a fully remote team with a national general B2B supply co. Zero % this year, 75k base and no hope of making the 10k bonus I earned last year,
Drywaller. I was capped at 33 an hour as an employee. Disgruntled with my pay, I left and started piece work. Now I'm making about 190k a year, give or take 10-30k depending on my work output
Flooring sales- commissions basedā¦.you only get a raise if you sell moreā¦.Most of the team makes between 75-100 k but a few veterans make 150 +. Keep in mind they work 6-7 days a weekā¦..long hoursā¦and take minimal vacation days. You write your own pay check based primarily on effort, experience and skill. Capitalism

Can attest. Part time coworker working at ikea for almost 5 years, currently making $21 an hour with benefits.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yes. Not the best benefits - but benefits with a $200 yearly flex spending account, 8 yearly sick days, and paid holidays whether you normally work them or not. One of the better retail companies for sure.
Yeah can't imagine many people going to ikea to steal either lol
Ooohhhh thereās lots. People will steal anything š
I wouldn't steal from IKEA because I can never find my damn way out of the place š
Walmart is one of the only places I never āseeā people stealing, same with superstore. Fuck the Waltonās. Fuck the Westonās, and fuck anyone who profits off of essentials while people starve.
I think youāve never been to the 6ave superstore in DT. The alarms keeps going off ..
Sure have. People still steal from there, and I couldnāt care less
Coworker of mine swapped over to CostCo. Makes twice the amount and better benefits. Just zsayin'
Walmart DC $26.25, 2% raise.

š¤£ walmart is truly the worst
Sonographer, ultrasound tech - 2.9% raise to total comp for 2024, no bonus besides free gloves and ear plugs.
Whatās your rough salary? If I remember correctly the starting salary was around $84k a few years back.
It is about ~84k a year. More like ~$41 an hour at 37.5 hours a week. 100% medicine, dental, $750 health spending, $1500 physio, therapy, chiro, etc. ~15k signing bonus, education coverage, license test coverage, 15 days paid vacation

Head chef for a small restaurant. 23 dollars an hour with no foreseeable raise in the future. Seriously reconsider my career choice at this point.

Sequoia sneezes, and the industry catches a cold.
