I received an end-of-year promotion but the % increase is barely larger than the typical merit raise. Anyone else in the same boat?

The company is bleeding money right now and making embarrasing empty promises financially for WB…They don’t care about raises, just the next round of layoffs…
Can confirm everyone got 3%
@qb employees below a manager, are we able to see that reflected in SF?
@qb BLah disregard what I wrote below I thought I was commenting in a different thread.
I heard that everyone across the company is getting a flat 3%. I can see my direct reports merit info (3% for each) in success factors, but I cannot see my own (I assume my boss can see mine though). I have not communicated it yet to my direct reports because no one has told me anything about it. I only know because I thought to go looking for it. If no one tells me I am just going to tell them before we go out for the break.
So if we didn’t hear about a merit increase by now, we weren’t selected?
I’ve had nothing and I can attest to working incredibly hard all year. I give up
I got 8% from my promotion because I went above & beyond expectations. I was told to reduce my workforce by 12%. I was actually able to convince 10% to take buyouts - then after nobody else came forward - I laid off an additional 10% of the people initially on my list. So I made out pretty good
@jn I think it’s included based on the way my manager phrased it. So when you take that into consideration I’m basically only getting an incremental 5% to others that aren’t getting promotions and was given a much higher workload and responsibility.
Yeah I asked if the 3% merit applies to me as well in the raise, but my higher ups didn’t know. Gonna be some bullsh-t if they included the 3% merit increase in the raise. Barely went up in salary. 5 days a week to the office and all that is gone quickly.
Yes in the same boat. And I know for a fact others with the same position as my new one whose salaries are $35k+ over what they are giving me. It’s an insult
@OP If you didn't get a huge bump, you were probably already toward the top of your current job band in terms of salary. I only got a 7% raise when I made my last jump, even though 10-15% should be more of the standard.
What kind of promotion jump was it?
