I was informed yesterday by the HR head of the good news and boy I was so happy,because I am not expecting any raise this year..
I was even more delighted by what the HR said..She told me "you deserve it!"..
I am just so excited and happy...It's a nice feeling when you know you are appreciated and your hardwork pays off.

great we can have a big party now. :) [jdpartosa]
Congratulations! These days all extra money is well needed, isn't it. But even better is that your hard work has been recognized. : ) [AmbiePam]
I strongly agree ambie..we need all th extra money we can get now a days..:) [cefaz_21]
That is really wonderful. I am sure you do deserve it. Hard work always pays off. My last raise was on Sept. 9th, the day my son was born. I am a stay at home mom and don't receive a pay check for what I do but I can't imagine a greater reward than the day I held my beautiful son for the first time. I am proud of you, my friend. Keep up the good work. [makingpots]
thank you for the best response. [makingpots]
actually I thought you'd be rolling in the dough. Sorry, I'm watching Dinner Impossible where Chef Irvine is baking donuts. My husband got a raise in March or so of this year, and well I have to say he was happy and unhappy, because even though the raise helps out, I have to say that my husband is till in the bottom 10% of the payscale. And still almost 10K under where he was about 5 years ago. Mooch [oneandonemakesix]
Hello cefaz!(",) Congratulations! I guess, you must really be a hardworking person that's why you really deserve a raise in your salary. Those who are working in the government was given a 10% increase in their salary. I'm also thankful to God because at the age of 22 I was able to work in a state university. So far, I'm having a great time teaching students to become a competent nurse in the future. Great day and God bless you always!(",) [lani0529]
You must be hardworking too, I know teaching is not an easy job, I had that job before.. HAve a great day too! Thanks. [cefaz_21]
Oh cool, I am happy for you! My last raise was back in February but I am leaving in September at my present job, so I don't really feel anything. But I remember I had a good raise a few years back and I was really happy about it. It makes you feel like your hard work is appreciated and all the stress was gone for a little bit when received the news. Congratulations! I am sure you deserve the raise! [wondericequeen]
Congratulations, cefaz_21! This is great news! It makes me happy to hear good news instead of bad, and this is definately good news. Thank you for sharing it with us. I cannot think of the last time that I received a raise. I guess it was sometime back when didn't work for myself. I just can't remember. But I bet I did feel good about it. :) [Transdisc]
Congrats to you!I am happy for you that you got a raise from your job.It is nice to get a raise and very helpful in many ways. [hadesUnderworld]
Offcourse its a great news and i wish you all the best.I know when we get some appraisal for our work we feel very happy and delighted.I got an appraisal after my probation period intimated through letter from my HR Manager.I felt very happy that my pay will get an increase in the coming months. [subathra]
Oh Congratulations, it is so good to see someone so happy, if I had a clapping smiley I would give to a whole row of them, yes it is a great compliment to you, you should be very proud so when are you taking us all out for dinner..hahahaah [lilaclady]
I will be there for sure...:) [lilaclady]
Congratulations to you my friend. I feel happy for you and guess you really deserved it. The last raised i had was about 8 months ago and it was at the beginning of Year 2007. I was rather happy with my raise as it came to my surprise that it's more than what i expected. I only expect about 5 - 6% raise, but it came to be about 10% for me. I was sooo happy. [rickytan]
and congratulations to you too! I think it makes us even more happier when they exceeded our expectation right? :)hope you get another raise soon! [cefaz_21]
Praise be to God and Congrats to you for the raise that you recieved. You should give a treat.heeheee! Never mind,put the money that you have decided to spend on treat as an offering in the church next sunday. When God gives something your never expected, that is what you should be doing. As 1 Corinthians 2:9 says "That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, 'No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him." I am not working to get a salary raise. May be in future... I should say that God has blessed me with some money unexpectedly with some Online sites like Mylot. [nishdan01]
All glory to the Lord our God!! I know he has blessed me and keep blessing me so much. Thank you! [cefaz_21]
congratulations... i got a pay rise about 3 months ago i think and i am very happy about it... i can use the extra money as nowadays everything is so expensive... congratulations once again and enjoy your hard-earned money... keep up the good work... [lingli_78]
hey!!! congratulations!! im happy for you! its really nice to be appreciated when you're working hard. keep up the good work! ^__^ [secretbear]
wow.... thats for a celebration. have a blessed day, you deserve it then you deserve it. [roniroxas]
Congratulations - more money is always nice. I am currently in negotiation aboutmy raise and I am excited coz it seems that I will get more than I firts thought =) [Marie2473]
It's cool to receive a raise for your hard work. When you deserve it, you deserve it :P At my job everyone has raised and it's not because of our hard work. It's simply like that. At every 1040 hour of work you have a raise (so for me it's twice a year) and every february everyone has a raise. I think that for the 1040 it's 3% of your salary and in february 4% or it's 3 and 2. I'M not sure. 3 years ago I started at 8.28$ and right now i'M at 10.18$. I'm happy with it :P [beyonce03]
congrats and well done and your HR would be right "you deserve it" !!! i havent been working long enough yet to get a pay rise yet lol but i will be cheering when i do [meljessxena]
i work for a non profit, christian organization that relies soley on donations, but i did get a raise last fall which was a blessing! [cher913]
Hello cefaz_21, Congratulations to you! I think you really deserved to get a raise. As for me, I got mine in March this year. That was one of the highest raise and I was happy for that. I have been working for the same company for the past eight years and when they give a raise to us, definitely it will make us happy and determine to work harder. [gr8life]
congrats!! i had a raise also but its not to be cheered off, its mandatory among the govt, as announced on the news, but still its an addtl income, its been more than a year since i was last promoted and there's no opening as of the moment, thats why im considering to transfer to get higher pay. congrats!! you really deserve it!! :-) cheers!! [larskie23]
YAY congratulations cefaz! That is great news, getting extra money in the paycheck is awesome news. I always look forward to an increment or step grade up and even two. Shows how much they appreciate what i do i think. [maddysmommy]
Congratulations! Some companies really appreciate their employees. They often don't have to be asked by their employees in order to raise salaries. Others have different policies. [friendship]
WOw congratulations to you my friend. This calls for a celebration for both of us. Our company also gave us a raise of 8% of our basic salary and though its not that really big at least they have given an increase. If we perform well in the next months we will be able to get another increase. Enjoy your raise and God bless... [Zelmarq]
Congratulations!! I do think you deserved it. I think that is the best news that you can get from your employer. I did have my raise about 6 months ago. I do hope there are more to come hehe. Those raises from my salary do help me a lot in paying off my debts and now I am trying my best to be out of debts. [rsa101]
looks like I am a little late in expressing my congratulations to you... but none the less.... YAY YIPEEEE way to go you! it is nice when you get recognized for doing a good job and doing it well... even nicer to get rewarded for it! EVEN NICER when you were not expecting it! I do not have a job outside the home and the family relies solely on my husband's earnings. He did get a recent raise and I am so very pleased with him for his dedicated and hard work to support this family. In the two years that he has been with this company he has had raises that amount to about $5 more an hour total from the time he started there. It was really difficult in the beginning of his employment because the work is so physically difficult and the pay was minimal - but now he is being compensated for sticking with it and doing a fine job. He does not think that he will be getting any more raises other than an occasional cost of living raise, perhaps. [Modestah]
Congratulations for having an increased and keep up your good worked in the company and the people around you...... [cherylal]
