How bad was it for you?

Pay increases aren’t just gone—they’ve been buried. The company’s spent years reclassifying people, dragging CL levels downward and red‑circling you permanently, making it clear you’ll never see another raise before you retire.
They'll just adjust where you are for your salary reference to not even have t justify it. I'm 101% and have been 0.9 and 0.9 raises for a few years as a CL27 and E, only real meaningful increases would be CL bump (su----e with new MLRP) or YEE building (also hard to see with current outlook).
No one should hold their breath expecting a meaningful raise, you'll be blue in the face.
Most of the better raises happen at/around a CL bump. The organization is becoming much flatter, higher CL roles are being eliminated, and downward pressure on CL's for the fewer remaining roles. Bottom line is that CL promotions and those nice raises are going to be very scarce. 0% will be much more common.
Not sure if "Raises" is in the cards if they are laying people off.
You could just work somewhere else?
Last year 0 %. Year before, 0.25 %. Year before 6.67 %. Year before 20 % (CL bump).
Just recall the view of the executives thanks to Mr Corson graciously sharing in a 2024 employee forum, couldn’t have said it clearer - paraphrasing here: after a thorough benchmarking review we have determined you are all overpaid. And he made $14.8M in ‘23 and $17M in ‘24.
Most recent was 0%. One of the many reasons to leave.
