So apparently nobody missed me :( Given the lack of posts this week on everyone's part, I will not take it personally ;)
Today, I had my formal performance development appraisal meeting. I am always a little nervous before this kind of thing, but I don't know why. My boss is really pleased with me and the amount of growth I have shown over the last year. When I think of where I was a year ago, it's amazing to think that it was only a year ago, given the increase in responsibility I have been given. Now, I am a project manager for 8 landfills, I am a mentor to junior staff (yes, I am no longer junior - amazing!), and I am training to become the companies sole waste diversion specialist. I get to go to 2 workshops/seminars next month in Toronto to learn more about this field. One is even an overnight one and I get to stay in a ritzy hotel - yay!
So, given my level of responsibility and the fact I have proved myself as a valuable asset to the company, I asked for a substantial raise. The company does the wage increases in January, so I won't find out how much of a raise I am getting until then. But, I told my boss what the range is according to the OSPE's salary survey for my level of responsibility and years from graduation, so we'll see. *keeping my fingers crossed*.

Good for you for asking for it. I never would have been able to do that, but I'm so proud of you for doing it. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed in January for you!
I'm too meek to ask for any kind of raise. I'm a touch below the APEGGA average right now, for the consulting field, but salary reviews are done in February. So, we'll see...
