Shouldn't the raise increase and not decrease?

wtf?
I thought the same thing, but I guess he is saying his raise amount should increase each time he gets a raise. ie he got a $2k raise and now is only getting a $1k raise.
Since he made it so confusing, I say he doesn't deserve a raise!

You've gotten almost 20% in raises since you started and that has only been 2 years...thats the way the company is looking at it at least.
This is why people switch jobs...you start at a higher salary instead of work your way up to it.
The funny part is our marketing guy makes 120k and golfs all day and works like 20 hours a week lol. But the 3 IT guys who keep our company in business make shit. Our credit union is our only client that is keeping us in biz.

VCP4 Certification? If they expect that level of expertise from you, I'd expect them to pay you decently as well..

You're severely underpaid. I'd start looking. Good vmware experience can bring you top dollar - 100K+

For what it's worth, you have a lot more ground to argue on once you actually have that certification.

It's irresponsible to tell him he could be making $100k+ when all you know next to nothing about his abilities and experience.

So I have been with this company nearly 2.5 years. I started at helpdesk with about 4 years of IT exp. After my first year I went from 35K to 38K with no certs. After that...
Any thoughts?
