Wondering if others have similar experience. I was promoted earlier this year but told my salary increase has been delayed several months. So I am performing new job without pay increase. Never worked for a company that has asked me to do that. Is this typical? It’s not a very good employee experience.

You'll be cut in the next round of layoffs
Sabre did this to ALL of us by not funding VCP according to the calculations they provided at the beginning of the year. There would have been more money to go around if they had actually funded it in line with their promises. We significantly outperformed revenue and EPS goals from beginning of year, then they adjusted guidance at the end of the year. We aren't bonused on how the company does overall, only on how good a job our CFO does at projecting our last several weeks of the year relative to the first 10 months. It's a joke. Nobody on my team got a full payout even at 10%.
Doesn't surprise me. Sabre has serious issues with middle management. Not only they lack technical and people skills. They are very unethical and only look after their own next promotion. They gain this by keeping cost down and pushing work out (regardless of the quality).
Enjoy your new title. Be kind to your peers and direct reports (if you have any) and move on.
Increases are in April. You would be heard by now. Sorry it sounds like you are getting screwed
I had a similar experience, however, my experience was with VCP. I found out that others on my team received VCP and I was personally responsible for the revenue that was recognized by the company - I'm talking millions so I had direct responsibility for the success of the company. My manager wouldn't comment so I went to the Director of the department. The Director told me that I would be receiving a salary bump because of the additional responsibility that I took on. I asked "when will I be receiving this salary bump" - "in a couple of months". So I added an entry on my calendar for 2 months and when 2 months was coming up I asked again. I did receive a nice salary bump, however, I don't think they expected me to challenge their decision to not distribute some of the VCP to me.
Managers are underhanded and I would have asked for this in writing (although I also had another experience and the "contract" meant nothing to them).
You may have also been promoted to fit into a salary structure - ask about the "mean" salary for your title - that may explain it.
I hate when they do this, it's deceiving the employee and that's not okay.
It sounds like you were screwed. Sabre does similar things, makes people fill in as higher positions until a real outside hire is found and then that employee is "demoted" back to their previous position.
