My manager told me that I didn't get rated a 4 but that he fought for a 3% increase in my AIP payout...which is not even a noticeable difference. But It got me thinking about our rating system. In the past if you got a 4 or 5 you had a multiplier added to your AIP and if you got a 2 or 1 there was a decrease multiplier. Does this still exist or is the increase that the discretion of management. I read on the AIP page that managers can now give you $0 of your AIP and that seems like a big change, correct. I thought the AIP % was baked into our job offer letters....but maybe not. What has changed?

@gy There's only so much he can do for you if he's been handed a ridiculously small budget for pay increases across his team.
The micromanagement from the top is unbelievable. This will get rid of the remaing good employees.
Do you think Bill enjoys a good smoke after f#@$ing us?
@er I report directly to an SVP ( a rare good guy tbh) I got a 4 but he had zero latitude to do much with my increase , how can it be that people at this level can no longer make decisions ?
I sure enjoyed earning a 4 for performance rating but receiving the pay increase we used to get for meeting expectations. So motivating to repeat the strong performance again this year…
They did share performance changes - it was a bit confusing until it fully rolled out. High ratings = higher AIP recommended. It did not change the money your manager got to use for direct comp. It will drive behavior in a way likely not comprehended by the c - suite.
Yeah, from the guidance I saw, AIP (through a modifier) and raise % are purely discretionary. Hope you’re one of the favorites!
