Post Probationary pay bump
Most places I have worked at have given a pay bump after 90 days. Is this standard or rare and what is a fair bump in pay?
My parents immigrated as refugees to a new country because of war and set up new lives in North America. No network, no language skills, no education, no internet, nothing. My dad has been working as a driver for nearly 30 years. Did a lot of jobs like security, cleaning, dishwasher and so on before that.

In an economy the size of the U.S., that equals an increase of more than $700 billion in profits per year. These higher corporate profits have been the cause of over 50 percent of recent price increases.”–The Intercept, 7/29/22
