What kind of pay rise do you expect for yourself in 2018 ?

[Tender Branson]

3% for me (which is the result of recent negotiations with the union that is representing my branch and the employer side).

I also do not intend to ask my boss for an additional pay rise (I only do that every 3-4 years or "when the time is right").

Plus, ÖVP-FPÖ could pass a tax cut next year (probably effective in 2019), which would be worth of an additional 4-8% pay rise.

I'm at my pay cap at my place of employment, so unless I get promoted or move to a higher volume location, it'd be 0%.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

It all depends on how profitable I make my company.......could be a plus, could be less than this year.

[dead0man]

I don't expect to see a raise for the entire 10 year contract I just started this past April.

Torie's pay for 2017:  zero

Torie's pay for 2018:  zero

Ha!

There isn't a box for retirement income.

What about your hidden political slush fund?

That is being reserved to fund Green candidates who would appear on BRTD's ballot in Minneapolis. Thanks for asking.

Are you muon2's Steve Bannon?

Muon2 is retiring from politics so he let me go, which pleased Krazen no end, because he snapped me right up. Job one of course is to pull the right strings to get someone on SCOTUS who fashions a legal standard that finds Democratic gerrymanders unconstitutional, with Pub ones perfectly legal. That in most instances should not be too hard, because in general one can draw aesthetic maps that favor the Pubs, while it is very hard to do that with Dem gerrymanders. Call it the beauty pageant standard, ala "you know it when you see it," definition of porn. In fact the plan is for me to write the opinion in advance, so that the new Justice can just sign it when he or she gets on the court.

It's not needed:

A pension is usually raised each year like a regular wage (at least here). Not sure about the US and other countries though, where it's probably more company-based.

In the US these days, few who were not government employees get defined benefit pension plans. And pension plan income is not "pay" in my book anyway.

One of the ironies in the US today is the concept of fixed income as a disability for retirees. If one has a retirement pension, usually from the government, it has guaranteed increases to account for inflation. Private individually managed retirement funds may be managed to have increasing income each year. In either case they tend to grow faster than most wages, which have been stagnant for the bottom 50%, and slower than inflation for many in the upper 50%. In reality it is the working class that one should describe as "fixed income".

Which contributes to the rising inequality of incomes, from whatever source. I feel a bit guilty about
it all. I knew how to run the traps, in a way most do not.  Such a skill set should not be unduly rewarding, but it most certainly is. Thus I am more sympathetic to the nanny state than I once was. It is all just so complicated, which rewards those who can profit from such complexity. I in some sense feel like Joseph Kennedy. He was smart enough to game the corruption in the stock market, and knew more than most how to slow it all down. Thus the SEC. It's time to do more SEC stuff. It's a scandel that most investors fall far short of market returns, due to the predatory investment industry. It's time to leash them - indeed far past time. This is one subject, that I am quite confident that my opinion is correct, unlike many others, where in this complex world, I feel more than ever, that the correct answers are not entirely clear.

I don't expect anything, I can only hope and try to do my best.

fyi the term is "pay raise" (from the transitive form of the verb, pay being the object being raised..

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I get roughly 2% each year. I understand from some of the old-timers that this hasn't always been a yearly event, though it has been consistent for a while now.

Why not fight to make it LESS complicated instead of going all statey on us?

The OP was using British English, not American.  This is but another example of the witticism attributed to George Bernard Shaw--"two countries divided by a common language."

Even if inflation continues its current tepid levels, that sucks.

[dead0man]

indeed, 'cause I'm pretty sure my insurance payments (and other cost of living factors) won't be going down.  At least my kids are all grown and out or grown and paying rent or almost grown and almost out and I get paid pretty good for as little labor that is actually required of me....but yeah, it still sucks.

[Figueira]

I mostly expect a pay rise in 2017. I haven't mapped 2018 that far ahead yet.
