Heard from my manager that promotions aren’t happening this round. Is that true?

False! A handful at CBS got promotions because people taking the package. I myself took on more work (work that nobody wants to do.), but did not receive a promotion like others in the group. I guess what I do at CBS is not as important as others. Total BS!
@OP They're more rare, but they occur. I had a direct report promoted this week.
No. It’s either the 3% merit or the promotion new comp
@rd The most heavily promoted, overhyped program on CBS over the past two weeks lost 41% of its YTD demo viewership in what was already the weakest time slot in the ENTIRE prime time calendar.
It was a stinker of historical proporrtions.
@mm And your proof that this is the reason for falling ratings?
@eg If you are promoted with a raise, does the 3% merit increase still apply to that individual?
@q3 The layoffs are meant to streamline the business and if you think there is not enough money to support promotions (or even maintain current staffing levels) when there was a $108 billion offer made to buy WB, then we are all in trouble. People deserve advancement opportunities, especially those of us who have had to pick up more work because our colleagues have been laid off.
Wackos talking promotions while layoffs continue year after year.
Merit, starting January 1st
Promotions have happened for some. There’s a new ‘VP’ of people in tech who is remote. How is it fair?
How 'bout Demotions? Bari Weiss taking CBS ratings down with her own hands, needs to be demoted
Promotion = More $$$ = Risk of Layoff
1 percent merit increase January 01st 2026
have any salary increases been communicated to anyone?
manager hasn't said a word about it
Limited amount of promotions for people in critical roles that will go into effect on Jan 1. Names were submitted already
I'm hearing conflicting timelines. Some people are saying January while others are saying it will line up with March STIP and merit increases, if any
I was submitted for a promotion last month but have no clue what happens next lol
Firstly, I work in HR. There will be promotions in January, but don't assume everyone who feels they deserve one will get one. It will be tightly locked down. Some promotions won't make sense, and some very deserving people won't get a promotion.
Incorrect. Promotion is happening, depending on department you work in.
Do you know when people are told they were promoted?
not sure if this applies for all areas of the business, but there are limited amount of promotions happening for tech this round, i know exactly who from my department has been submitted.
