I count myself lucky to have received raises at my job (dispatching for a towing company)
I started at 13.25/hr in May 2018, and my most recent raise in May 2023 for my 5 year review I’m up to $20.00/hr
But I had to ASK every time. It will never be handed to you freely. You should always be looking for another job, and jump ship if you don’t get a raise you honestly believed you earned.
It can be monumentally difficult for one to know one’s own worth. I recommend checking the United States government’s bureau of labor statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook and try to find your job position in there to get a baseline.
It’s good to know what the stats are, both nationally and in your locality if the info is available, so you can reference it both in performance reviews and when job searching.
