Kangadrool Supersonic February 7, 2018 Share February 7, 2018 Some people do it due to household income limit to qualify for subsidies. The ironic thing is these people are from the lower income group and the next best thing is to have higher salary. But, sometimes increasing their salary will cause almost all subsidies / assistance to be totally taken away or result in a situation where they will be worse off. anyone ever rejected a salary increment ? can we do that ? tell the boss don't ? ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vratenza Supersonic February 7, 2018 Share February 7, 2018 Imho, that is a paycut if you take into account the additional hours per week. I think even Macdonalds also pay more than $10/hr these days. i don't mind responsibility ... i am practically running my dept ... what can there be more ?? but i just got my increment letter ... and its $200 ... however, with it, did not come extra responsibility .... but working hours extended by 3 hours a day or 17 hours week !! (5dx3h + 1dx2h) or 68hrs a month ?? for $200 ?? in all truth, how many of you will accept that ?? way before that i was even thinking of asking my company to cut my pay by $400 instead and give me my Saturdays (4dx4h) off instead !

Kusje Supersonic February 8, 2018 Share February 8, 2018 anyone ever rejected a salary increment ? can we do that ? tell the boss don't ? Actually you have been with the company for so long and even from the time when there were only 10+ people in the company. How is your relationship with the big boss? He should have known you for a very long time and you him. Think you should know best whether or not he can be negotiated with and whether you can reject the increment.
