So the HR management call happened about the upcoming pay and performance week and some interesting but not shocking news. Apparently, with the restructuring in the career architecture and demoting everyone to lower titles, this also includes new lower pay scale bands for those titles and roles. So if you were a person who was previously in a role that now has been artificially demoted with a new salary band that is lower than your current salary, you will not be eligible for a merit pay increase because you’re outside the band for your new title. Just another way to squeeze people and not reward them for good performance. Comment on this if this turns out to be true next week.

@bw says who, the internal legal team? Lol
It’s absolutely true. It just happened to me and a colleague confirmed that if you are out of the new range you don’t get the merit increase. Not only that, but the lowest bonus ever received. They are trying to make you leave. What a joke.
But OA will get his for sure.
@q1 according to who? what hr management call?
It’s not categorically untrue. I can’t speak to whether an individual’s market rate changed, but if you are now at the top of your range, they will push to keep you inside of it.
Can confirm. At the limit of my job category. Very small increase.
@bw at this point, I do not believe this to be true BUT ASR/AIP still not approved by upper management so still may be true. Got passed two levels of management. Two to go.
This is categorically untrue
Does this apply to C-Suite as well or just the minions? I would have preferred a lower job title than a layoff with pathetic severance but no that was not an option.
