Over the past 30 years, salary never goes up, I know because I saw the salary today is same as my first salary 30 years ago, Im not disclosing my age, so dont be too paranoia, but the price of everything goes up thru the roof, the only person who salary goes up are (ikr, salary must kept secret because it is case sensitive, dont tell anyone else!), ok, enough rant! Try to tell your kids to work for a salary in the future, I think they could barely afford a piece of beard!!
End of story! Ciao!
LOL, let me guess your age using your username. I think you are 46 years old. I dont really think this is true of every country, each country with their own way of operation and the type of organization you are working with, is it a government organization or a private organization.
In my country, your salary must increase according to your progress and grade, promotion is being done like every 2 to 3 years, and once you pass that promotion, you get promoted with packages increasing too. Private organizations also does this a lot of time, I guess it is time you change the organization you work for.
