What a joke.

If they can't reward my hard work and good results, why should I try to do better this year than I did last year?
Time to perform to payment.

The APAC numbers are in. Looks like this years average is 3.2% increase.
Breadcrumbs for the minions so that the Lords living in the High Castle can put some food on their table.
This has always been the case. Why complain now ???
Now get back to work and don't complain in March 2026, when you get a 0.7% raise.
It was commented down below but in the mid 2010’s the standard raise was 2%. 2.7% is historically good
Got an exceeds, 2.7% plus 2% performance accelerator. Disappointing.
I know some people that work 50-60 hours a week and get paid for 40. So even with the 0-2% raise they are still getting crapped on. Too bad they can't just add those 10-20 hours to payroll and make their own raise.
You guys are getting paid?
“They” think we’re overpaid which is why more 1s were given out this year for AIP versus history and if you got a 2 consider yourself lucky. If you got a 2.7 on P4P instead of 0 or a decrease then you’re even luckier… The company it was 15 years ago is long gone and now it’s just about filling the pockets of the higher ups and doing more with less again!

During my last annual performance review, I told my manager I need more management training as my career aspirations require being in a succession plan for long term success.
My boss said "great"! Your first lesson is to learn how to manage expectations.
I got average rating.
Yup...... 2.7%
I busted a gut one year to cover a sales in an area where we had no resource, developed the business and overperformed. Still got a average rating. trust me when I say I didn't fall into that trap a second time.
If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.
The prior 2 years did have a 3% increase, while the 6 years before that were all 2%....so 2.7% is above average.
"We usually get 3% so this year is low."
That's only true if you limit your sample size to 2. Merit increases for an average / meets expectations employee were stuck at 2.00% from 2012 through 2022 with the exception of 2.25% in 2016. Based on the larger sample size, you would say we've been averaging 2.17%, so this year is high.
He wasn't saying 7% he was saying 2,7%.
We usually get 3% so this year is low.
7% increase is fantastic for merit increase. I assume this is a promotion amount? That's pretty low. As I recall, it is typically 10% promotion unless you are within a month or two of merit increase, then it is lower. No idea why that matters, but it does (or it did a couple of years back when I was at 3M).
Still waiting to hear their excuses for why they paused the compa-ratio adjustment.
You can work years to earn your promotion and then they’ll just sign your layoff notice instead of your promotional paperwork. Do yourself a favor and somewhere else to work where they actually value their employees as their greatest asset.
BBs Minnesota Nasty leadership style is on full display. But he can't compete with thousands of employees quietly quitting. Throw in ki-ling off WFH and the Center will be a slow slog every day. Collaboration? Yes people will collectively QQ until the raises have more than inflation.
Sorry Billy. What goes around comes around.
