I feel I am being played!

Had my appraisal meeting with the manager today and the feedback I received don't put me in a good light. The manager wants me to be more proactive and ask for more work. In the last 2 years more than half of my team has quit for whatever reasons and even with the increased workload that I completed on time, I have received a rating of "partially achieved". What's even weirder is that the rating was given before the appraisal meeting even started. The manager had made up their mind. I see the market and feel grateful for a relatively safe job and a relatively fine package but this event makes me feel under-appreciated at work. My team lead still treat me like a fresher even though I have 2+ yoe and assigns high priority tickets to other team members. Given the fewer complex tasks in my bucket, the manager feels I'm not up to the task which is far from truth. I want to make a switch and move on to better opportunities before long but I am worried whether this merit report will sour my chances when the HR asks for them during interviews / onboarding. Have you had similar experiences? What did you do? Also, am I wrong in being worried about the appraisal report affecting my chances at new companies? TL;DR: Does a rating of "partially achieved" impact chances when applying to new jobs?

A little background info before I get into the details: I have left appraisals at the table (twice) to pursue better opportunities which offered me a varied job role. I am now stuck at the same organization for two years and my appraisal conversation has been going on for 7 months. Ridiculous, I know. This company has no growth prospects. I have not grown in the last two years in any aspect. Regret the day I left the appraisal & job promotion at my previous organization to join this company. Naturally, I've started my job search and have landed a few offers but no one seems to offer me more than 30% and I need to correct my salary. How's the best way to ensure I get a package that can offer over 30%? I need atleast 45-50% to correct my salary. Profile: social media marketing, PR and content writing Exp: 4+

I have lost all hopes from appraisals. I think if you wanna gain hike in your package, just make a switch. What are your thoughts?

I recently switched my job, and my new employers were asking if I could refer someone and I reached out to my junior (fresher, 1 YOE now) at my previous employer and got his resume and he was asking about how much compensation to expect. The number he was expecting was 3x of my salary at my previous employer, naively i assumed that his compensation would <= as mine (I was more experienced and my performance was 📈) and told him : "with current market conditions it's difficult for that, you cannot expect 3x" and he tells me it's not 3x but 2x and I was like 😮. The compensation that he was Getting as a fresher was more than what I was getting paid despite having more experience. I had to switch job to get the same compensation that they are offering to freshers. All this time my ex-manager and lead know about this and never fought on my behalf, I feel betrayed. Now my mood is all f***ed.

I’m a software engineer at a mid size company. I have 1y3mo of work ex. Appraisals are around the corner, and although the work is great, the pay not so much. I earn less than 10LPA. How much of a hike should I deserve in this market assuming I have done a good job.

Hey guys! I have been working as a Business Analyst for Conduent for the past 2.5 years. I'm still at the same CTC they hired me on and everytime I brought up the topic to increase my compensation etc, my manager just tells me we are looking into it and it is because of budget issues. The excuses don't stop. its not like other people who joined with me aren't promoted. they did get a 20-30% raise. Can someone suggest me on how do I deal with this situation? Should I look for another job? or should I continue to fight here for the compensation I do deserve ?

One of my colleagues makes more money than me and also some other folks in the company. He's kind of a junior to us but making more than us. I know I shouldn't get bothered about this but it's easier to say than adopt that thinking. How do you folks deal with these kinds of things? [ Before someone says he might be good at the job I am working with them so I know he's pretty average. ]

I have been working for my current employer for over 2 years as PM. Most of the employees haven't received any formal appraisal over the years. The company is going through some of the financial stress till last Dec. But it seems things are getting back in order as no more salary delays at my level. I have heard and confirmed that few have received salary hikes either due to retention or other ways. Searching for a job over the past 1 year but unable to land any yet. Its getting difficult to manage financially living on rent in mumbai, committing everyday to office and all. HOW COULD I CONVINCE CEO OR WHAT SHOULD I WRITE THEM TO PURSUE THIS. PLS HELPPPP....🥺

What to do when you are not satisfied with your current salary because you feel the quality and quantity of work you do is not worth it and your supervisor is playing around and not in favour of giving any financial growth even after good performance and you are not getting any opportunity outside having around 9yrs of experience in HR Operations. You feel very low and disappointed working like this. He is taking advantage of everything, not letting you apply for internal job openings also. What to do in this case?
