I got a 3% salary increase. Is it good or bad? No way to know. We are not supposed to share our salary adjustments.

There are plenty of laws, but understand law only works if it is reported and enforced.
And if you report and are exposed, there will be indirect reprisals, that is how it happens everywhere. There is a reason whistleblowers need protection!
There was a case in another company where an employee recorded some conversations at workplace, for whatever reason. He was terminated for some other reason, and the employee went to court and decided to share those recordings to illustrate a point in the court. BTW, recording a conversation where you are present in the room is completely legal, what is not legal is spying on someone by recording conversations. The courts sided with the employer, since it made others employees "uncomfortable" even though the practice is completely legal. The recorded employee was terminated by the employer with no retribution for the employer.
This case was discussed in a Financial Post article, you guys can look up just for awareness of employee rights. Big organizations have a lot of loop holes and business conduct policy is another to suppress evidence that will embarrass them or get them into legal trouble. As they say, there is nothing more illegal than being CAUGHT doing something illegal!

ahh, the insecure power tripping middle management.......having trouble in the bedroom?
The threat to terminate "anonymous" for an alleged business conduct violation by "anonymous" appears legitimate. The largely anonymous and totally redundant and zero- value -add controllers business controls group needs to be nixed. The year-end rep. letter process is largely automated and does not need so many people and an unqualified manager to run the mundane activity each year.
Who are you? Business Conduct police?
This is an violation of the code of business conduct. An 8010 will be filed, and you will be terminated immediately
The NSP was 3.3% which would be about average for this company if you ranked ok over the past year. They're still only referencing other oil companies for salary and benefits for compensation, so other industries for technical people could likely have much higher increases
A lot of people share their salary and raises (or lack of). This is typically done verbally in conversations. And this is not illegal.
Just like we share and discuss how incompetent and toxic our managers are. It is just sad.
That's pretty much on par with inflation.
@csl+1ewtg71U Show me where in Canada it is illegal to discuss pay, and I'll PIP myself voluntarily.
3% is average to good, depending on the company. Some people get nothing.
3% where I work is the "you did your job well, with no major complaints" sort of rating.
As for forbidding you to discuss the increase, that very likely is in violation of the law, depending on where you are. They can't prevent it anywhere in the states. If you're in Canada, I know at least some provinces have similar laws making it illegal to prevent workers from discussing pay, but I haven't researched all of them.
