    Any hospital pharmacists getting decent raises?

    Yeah we finally got our salary increase Dec 2022 which was just over 7%. That plus the 4.1 and 4.6% raises and me getting another step gave me about 26,700 in pay raise in <14 months or close to 20%. Unfortunately, I’m now a step 8 so I don’t have many future step increases to get. I’m thinking...

    Any hospital pharmacists getting decent raises?

    Not sure on the golfing. Unlimited pto is a scam if you have bad management or workplace is doing it for said reason you stated. I have several friends that take off whenever they want as long as Job is done. Probably 4-6 week long vacations and a day a week most weeks. Having said that times...

    Lol. I mean I don’t know many pharmacy jobs that let you play golf on the clock or give you unlimited PTO. You’re right that’s my fault for not finding that

    Graduated 2013 public school. Tuition rose 50% my 4 years there and was triple from the class that graduated 05. I work at va and am blessed. However, after seeing so many friends clear 150k with basic jobs they don’t excel at i think that is the gripe of most pharmacists. At the end of the...

    yes it would affect you more since large disparity in income, if similar incomes typically a wash now since married filing separately is identical to single tax chart in beginning (in past it wasn’t)

    That is how previous stimulus bills worked. Not sure if they fixed thst loophole or not. Also with trump tax reform marriage penalty filing together or separate non existent sub 400k income except for a few tax deductions (student loan interest etc)

    $1,400 Stimulus and $3,000 incr Child Tax Credit -- Should I work less?

    To be fair I’m fairly certain they are getting richer due to their stocks skyrocketing. Which isn’t the same as paying their workers more. Although if you dug into the math I’m sure they could pay more. but let’s look at Walmart. They have made between 10-15 billion net profit last few years...
