2.9% is a huge merit increase, congrats. Can't say the same thing for myself, barely cleared 2.0%.
@xt exactly it’s dangling a carrot, convincing you to feel appreciated and see your earning potential before axe comes and takes it all away
@xq if they you a big equity award and lay you off any time before your first vesting date you actually get zero!
@ma Depends on your seniority. VP and above it was skewed more towards equity awards, with a lower base salary increase.
@x2 I can't comment on that because I don't have experience. But from what I've experienced, the handling of my RPDs was a total mess a few months before I was laid off. Don't know who did that.
@jb I would assume that most people, including myself, are talking about the 4,000 people not in COEs (centers of overseas embarrassments).
The more the COE offices grow the slower product output, the worst client experiences.
Raise was 2.9 percent for meets expectations for those wondering lol
For those of you still at the company hahaha - almost 13,000 folks ARE at the firm!
@ba I was on a call in 2024 where HR was prepping managers to deliver comp numbers and someone said "how can I justify that that my team's real salaries went down?" And the HR rep brightly said "they didn't go down! They went up 1.5%!"
Sigh...
if you got less than 3.7% increase in the US, your purchasing power went down thanks to inflation
Decent bonus but the raise to the base was microscopic, especially when you take into account the loss of two vacation days.
@a6 they were just released to managers. But this year HR changed the process. Used to be managers to HR and then then managers got to review/comment on ratings and then back to HR. This year just managers to HR and HR had the final say - no appeals.
But I haven't seen any bonus numbers yet. Maybe this week.
Performance reviews are delayed like crazy I haven’t even gotten mine yet
