Four years in and my last raise was only 2 percent, but a recruiter just reached out for a similar job that pays 15 percent more. It’s frustrating realizing staying put can cost you this much. Makes me wonder if loyalty to one company is really worth it anymore.

Raise after quitting
I put in my notice and out of nowhere they offered a 15 percent raise after claiming for ages that budgets were tight. It’s impossible not to question the timing, and part of me wonders if it's worth sticking around at Humana because of it or not. It does bring my pay above the one I'm getting at my new position, but I'm still uncertain.
Any word on bonuses?
I don’t remember the last time we had a bonus 😅 Is there one happening this year? And do we know when it’d be paid out?
Merit
So we have some AIP info, but has there been any discussion as far as merit increases in March?
There will be...
...more heads rolling in OKC than Houston, even after 6 layoffs Devon is still way over staffed by a bunch of su-k ups doing 20% of the work and drowning the small majority doing the other 80% of the work. If this offends you, you must have gotten greater than 2% cost of living increase for being a yes man boot li---r
Raise/ score card
When are we to have our meeting with supervisor to go over our scorecard ? I thought this happened in early February? I see no meeting scheduled .
Average pay increase/bonus based on reviews?
Wondering what’s the “average” pay increase / bonus adjustment for each of the performance categories.
I know this year (and is typically) a let down, but what are the numbers from the low end of “did not meet” to the high end of “far exceeded”?
Merit Raises
With more than 20 direct reports per manager, it will be interesting to see how many merit increases are actually awarded this year. I suspect a lot of people won’t be thrilled.
Annual Increases 2026
Managers, have salary increases been submitted for your team yet? How’s the average increase looking? Baseless rumors will also be entertained.
Specialist Raises
I heard a rumor that specialist will not get raises again this year, just the same b.s. bonuses like last year! Does anyone care about us not even keeping up with the economy? How rich do you need to be Marvin?
Rewards
What is your pay increase percentage?
Pay increases are a joke
They don't even match inflation. With everything put together, morale is circling the drain. And do I trust them to find a competent CEO now? Absolutely not.
Did you get the 2% raise? Market rate adjustment or no raise?
Just wondering what others received. Did you get a bonus?
Bonuses/Raise predictions.
Let’s hear bonus/raise predictions for 2026….
My prediction
Healthy bonuses
High performers - 15%
Moderate performers - 8%
Low performers - 3%
Low inflationary raises for older high earners regardless of performance
Youngish high performers - 10-15%
Youngish moderate performers - 5-6%
Youngish low performers - inflationary
Annual raises
Increases shared with mgrs today and they SU-KKKK! Get ready for 2% or less boys and girls
Wells Fargo CEO Charlie Scharf gets 28% pay boost to $40 million
Thoughts? I don’t know about you, but I got a sh---y 2% raise and I have been with the company 15 years.
Is Chevron really freezing raises?
Is Chevron really freezing raises [not receiving for 2025 performance] or will we find something out this year during goal setting for the 2026 performance year? I hope this is just a nasty rumor - throwing it out here for serious replies.
And yes… mgmt is making it difficult for people to continue to love the chevron they joined years ago - we can’t change that.
Unionize in Home & Community / navihealth /Optum
Many nurses and therapists working in Home and Community care have seen their roles change significantly over the past several years, especially since the buy out of naviHealth within care coordination roles - consisting of OTs/PTs/SLPs/RNs. Productivity goals have increased to a point that is unattainable due to increased demands/goals/administrative tasks within paid working hours.
At the same time, raises have failed to keep pace with inflation, effectively reducing real wages despite growing workloads and responsibilities. Raises have fallen well behind inflation, effectively resulting in pay cuts for experienced clinicians who are carrying heavier caseloads and greater responsibility than ever before. For a workforce that is highly trained, licensed, and essential to patient outcomes, this trend is deeply concerning. These challenges are not isolated—they are systemic. Raises are consistently 1-2%, with 2% being a rarity.
These issues are not isolated to individual teams or regions. When issues are systemic, individual advocacy has limits.
This raises an important question: Is it time for nurses and therapists in the Home and Community line of business to unionize? And if so, has anyone considered leading this effort?
Literally 0 benefit going beyond bare minimum
Guys don’t work after 4-5, don’t go in early, don’t give up nights with your family, don’t respond to emails outside of work hours, don’t be proactive. Can’t tell you how much I have given up for this company over the last few years and what is there to show for it? No hope for promotion, 1% raises, took away my bonus, reduced 401k all for leaders to tell me I should be grateful I have a job. Sorta falls on deaf ears when your compensation is going up and ours is going down. All that to say, do the bare minimum guys, this company will not reward you for your efforts. On the contrary you’ll probably get laid off.
Pay
I’m sure we are all excited about the pending 3.6% raise for those at the top. Company talks about our high profits and then nothing.
Why the fu-k bother working hard anymore?
Used to grind: stay late, extra projects, crush it. Reward? Emoji thumbs-up, 2% raise (lol inflation), then piled with more work.
Meanwhile minimum-effort crew dips at 5 and skates by fine.
Loyalty’s a one-way scam; hard work = free labor.
Fu-k going above and beyond. Act your wage, do the bare minimum, guard your sanity.
Who else quit hustling and started coasting?
Legacy T tentative agreement already reached!
Basically 15% pay raise and extending the same contract with minor changes have for 4 more years. A Win Win Leg T employees.
Best Quarter! Best Year! Where the money going?
BM: We had a best quarter and best year!
WTF..worst pay hike, bonus and RSU’s ever. Where the money going?
Bonus & raises
So I got a 3% merit and 13% bonus which was about the same as last year. How about y'all? 👀
Raises and bonuses
Has anyone had their review yet?
Review Process Corporate
I just need to blow off some steam. Anyone else think the review process is fu--ing stupid? I’m so tired of it. Every year, EVERY YEAR, they change the god damn format and make it more difficult than the year before. They move the goalposts on our evaluations so we receive the bare minimum increase on top of our bonuses. I’m tired of being held responsible for things that are outside of the responsibilities of my position. It’s bullsh-t. I’ve submitted my review twice now only for it to be sent back bc I was missing some things. No explanation, no direction. Just forwarded emails. The review process in this organization is fu--ing stupid and ridiculous and honestly? They don’t even look at them. They just want them completed so they can sign off on them. I know this to be true bc I’ve used the same verbiage in my personal comments for years now. They don’t look. They only care about paying the least they can pay. These reviews are a fu--ing headache.
Soooo, how much was your biggest Dell raise ever?
Soooo, how much was your biggest Dell raise ever? #gold
Start the raise/bonus leaks
GCP opened up, so managers now know the raises and bonus budgets.
I'll start - Aero US - For a 5-block - Average 2.5% raise, MIP at 130% of target.
merit pool
Merit pool is horrible this year. A lot of 3's are getting close to nothing and then they expect to score high EXI. Feel bad for gl 26 and below because they were supposed to get consistent raises but now they lose out on RRP and only get 1%.
No pay raise this year?
I’m hearing that there will be no raises this year as the company needs to be “fiscally responsible”. Anyone else hearing this?
in this economy, we are pretty much all contractors
If you don't get promotions or raises after 2-3 years, just leave. The traditional career ladder is pretty much dead, and the best way to get a raise or promotion is through job hopping.
Compensation 2026
TIAA hasn’t given raises to employees with salaries over $100k the last few years.
Will this change for 2026? Will anyone be receiving pay raises?
Bonus? Flat? Higher than normal? What can we expect from compensation talks?
Merit raises are right around the corner!
I can't wait to see what my rating is, and I really look forward to waiting till July to get my increase. It is fun waiting and getting another opportunity to have a second touch point with my boss instead of getting my raise at the beginning of the year.
Does anyone believe their division head has pushed for higher raises for the staff?
Does anyone believe their division head pushed RV and the executive committee to provide higher raises this year? No need to name the division head, just name the division. It will be interesting to see if anyone believes their division head pushed for higher raises.
Feb 2026 RSU and Raise
When will promotion, raise and RSU refresh be notified for Feb 2026 cycle?
Just an FYI
Raises don’t save you from layoffs. I got a raise a few months before getting laid off and I was certain I was safe because of it. I mean, they gave me a nice raise, that must mean they value me as an employee and will make sure to keep me, right? Wrong. In the end, it didn’t change a thing. Just so you know.
Year end review
