I did. I will make more this year like I have for each of the last 15 or so years.

I work for a small regional non-profit corporation in the healthcare industry. Money is always in short supply, and that includes in the staff paychecks. The financial crisis has cut the state revenues that we depend upon for a great many of our clients. It looks like Medicaid will actually be reducing what they pay us to perform services for our clients.

I would really love a nice, big, fat raise. With luck, it might just bring my salary in line with other programmers. I do not expect that to happen. The reality is, the best I can hope for is something much smaller.

I do not envy our CFO. She, and her staff, really have their work cut out for them to keep our spending in line with our income!

Answered about the same, since monthly income is the same, but probably less year end bonus (if any at all)

There is no increment for me .. so same salary... but inflation is touching around 20% for food item, so i am actually earning 20% less then last year!

Lucky, Sort Of.

Took a serious pay cut - but glad to still be working. First layoffs at my workplace in memory.

I look at it philosophically: my cut means someone else (here) is still working: paying rent and putting food on their table. Since I normally live rather frugally (do to a gut instinct that hates waste and long-term debt), the primarily impact is that of a reduced savings rate.

The stability isn't by accident: life, like code, should have some exception-handler's built in for those unexpected things you should always expect.

"It's a sad state of affairs, indeed, when you start reading my tag lines for some sort of enlightenment. Sadder still, if that's where you need to find it." - Balboos HaGadol

Oh, sure, rip that scab right off why dontcha?

Bastages.

I got laid off in January and there's just nothing out there for me (I don't do that Web crap).

Fortunately, they who laid me off have had me adding some features to the system I wrote, on a contract basis.

Then all you do is limit your employment potential. Besides since you use CP I don't think even you believe the web is total crap.

Yes, but I'm not in it just for the money. I like to enjoy my work, otherwise I wouldn't do it?

I hate web apps. Internet ENABLED desktop applications rock, but web apps are amazingly slow. Besides, http stands for HyperTEXT transfer protocol. If you really think of it, it wasn't even designed to transfer images! The marketing guys are the reason we're using these protocols for reasons they were NEVER designed to be used for, which is why we're now so bandwidth starved.

You honestly think I go http://www.twitter.com/ to update my status? No, of course not! I use a desktop app... which connects to Twitter via http, incidentally, which is NOT the way it should work! A port for everything and everything to its port, I say. :P

Cheers
Graham

P.S. Anyone know of a desktop app for searching/browsing CodeProject articles, which will allow me to take part in surveys and discussions (And no, not just a glorified web browser in a desktop app - an actual app)? I will never visit http://www.codeproject.com/ in my web browser again!

Gee, just strong verbiage for something that's not that big of a deal. When was the last time you got out? Laugh | :laugh:

If you don't know what you're doing they are. But you can't blame that on the technology.

Oh I don't know, you've been unemployed for half a year. I can't think of one reason at all. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

Ah, that's nothing; my last period of unemployment lasted two and a half years. But that's mainly because my OpenVMS experience was no longer in demand and I had to learn C# and .net.
