Laid eyes on the merit increase matrix for 2027, and it's as pathetic as the firm's leadership. Since we're all now meeting expectations because it's impossible to exceed (guess they're saving those ratings for EJ India), increases for meets will range from 0.9% (over 110% of midpoint) to 4% (under 90% of midpoint).
So yay... I'm just barely over midpoint (by $567), so I will get an amazing 2.1% raise for 2027.
But ELT will continue taking home their 8-figure payouts and not caring in the least about the people actually doing the work. I've said for a while now that my loyalty to EDJ is gone but that I wasn't actively looking to move. And stupid me decided to go ahead and buy in to the LP offering.
So either I'm stuck until the LP loan is paid off (18months +/-) or I have to find a way to pay that off so they can liquidate my LP and go to a competitor since it seems every other firm's pay & benefits are better than this dumpster fire.
