Hey everyone, its annual raise time at my job. I went from 19.5 to 22 an hour. I was very happy orginally with this but I just found out the starting wage at our new branch is 22 with a $1000 sign on bonus. The new branch is in a more affordable area to live. I just bought a house and do not plan to move.
My thoughts (along with my coworkers) is that our current raise amount should be stacked onto the now 22 base along with cost off living adjustments.
What is the best way to bring this up to my manager?
