Like the previous poster said, it’s a pool. Some get more and some get less as long at the total averages the pool %.

It’s actually a great question by the OP. The threat of layoff is always there, there are plenty of other jobs out there. And let’s face it, the raise pool has been 2.5% for the last 15 years.

I just did the minimum and looked for another job. Now happily employed elsewhere.
My motivation is gone. I'm lucky if I can get myself to do the bare minimum.
