Did they say no raises??? Which department?
No raises. They needed the money to hire more failures from BOA.
Managers have hardly any control over your comp. We're give a tiny budget, told to stick to very narrow bands of acceptable increases depending on the individual's circumstances, and we shift a few pennies around to use up all the budget dollars. We aren't holding your increases hostage, and we don't get some kind of bonus increase if we don't spend the merit budget. 100% of the blame lies with the executives. Managers are just giving you the news.
Management is and always has been tone deaf regarding any compensation activities.
Record profits equal unpaid wages.
Same cr-p different day from HY. Increases and bonuses for those above the director level are always massive, even if profits were down, but for the underlings it doesn't matter what you do, you get peanuts. Jokes on them though, I'm here for the severance, not the increases. Close enough to the finish line it really doesn't matter.
@OP as my leader says, you’ve consistently exceeded on every review for four years in a row, but I have no plan for you. Oh but can you please absorb all of these different displacements into your current workload year after year!
Enjoy the record breaking earnings a$$h0lez
Isn’t that the story every year?
