I'm so glad that you got what you asked for - I know you are relieved. I'm glad too that you got a promotion. More responsibility is sometimes stressful, but ultimately if you have more control, you will be happier! CONGRATULATIONS!

It was the SAME woman! I don't really understand it. They increased my position from Tech 4 to Tech 5, so I guess she just gave me the minimum for Tech 5. I don't know what happened for sure. Maybe she didn't even look at my old salary, but I find that hard to believe. I'm just glad she wasn't so scary to talk to and did make me feel like I'm needed here. She's been at the company for a long time actually, but was just a project manager. She just went back to school for her masters in whatever she does... environmental management maybe? So then she took over managing our office in the last year while our old manager focuses on one of our major projects, and other big things as VP of the company.
Anyways, I guess I should have given myself a better raise lol! I did ask for double the raise I got, although still the smallest raise I've gotten at this company! It works out to 3.7%. Still no bonus though. On our way home, Scott said "Well, I guess I'm still the breadwinner in this family" (he has been for 2 weeks lol... I always made more than him before) and I said "No... we're making the same now" because I based my salary on what he now makes. He said no... his salary has an extra $40
So I told him, great! I won't have to feel bad about him paying for our nights out!
