In most of the cases, you can’t do much. People generally leave. But sometimes management do give good hikes. Anyway the year end is near.  
  
 Start your prep. If things go south, you will be ready for your north by then.

Next year they can give you a bad review and deny the increment. It's a clear sign to start looking for other opportunities if that's bugging you.

In last financial year, I worked very hard and outperformed. That's my official rating in Darwin. My manager was also happy along with other people who decide the increment %.
But they gave a bad increment (almos half) what other people received in my team.
I discussed it with my manager and upper management and they told me they will increment next year. 


Has this ever happened with you and how did you deal with it?

We will increment next year, promise?

Maybe it was just some situation in your favour and you decided to just go for it ?

If not you, have you seen any colleague/friend doing it. What were their/your talking points?

I'm planning to do it, need tips.

Did you ever ask your Manager/HR for a salary raise ? How did that discussion go ?

This year, the increments in my company were fairly good, with an average of 21% and the highest being 30% in my team of 10 people. The average rating was 4/5. Given the current market situation, these increments can be considered decent. However, despite these figures, none of the team members seem satisfied. Last year’s increments were better, but still, this year’s numbers aren’t bad.

Considering our positive company culture and manageable work pressure, I’m curious to understand why the expectation might be so skewed. How much of an increment is generally enough to make employees happy? Were the increments really that bad, or is there something else at play here?

How much increment is enough?

Since we are seeing a lot of layoffs, a lot of companies are using this as an excuse to provide less increment this year. Interested to know what sort of increments are you’ll getting this year and how much did you get last year?

Increment this year?

I got a good hike this year. Around 34% mostly because I got promoted and my hike in the previous year was shit. I work in finance

In my organisation the salary revision/promotion cycle is delayed.

What about yours?

Did you get it?

Was it enough to beat the inflation at least?

How much weightage was given to office attendance?

Increment/Promotion Scenes this year

My manager who is also one of the CXOs of the company, repeatedly gaslights me into thinking that I’m not good enough. My performance ratings of last couple of years is one of the best yet I haven’t seen any substantial growth. I don’t know how does it justify higher performance rating when I’m not doing enough/good enough.

Gaslighting by Manager

Intern

Most of the employees got 3-5% increment, anyone got a news of higher increment?

Goto increments = mood spoilers

As the title says, I wanna know what's your highest percentage increase in salary in the same company.

How can we increase our chances of getting a good increment? Is it just performance?

Have you ever negotiated a salary increment? 

Would love to know!

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

For the first time in these many years, i have got a hike of only 7%, the reason stated is on going concerns in US market. But it is very difficult to digest the same as 2 years prior i got a hike of 26% and now only 7%. I feel being broke as giving an organisation your 5 years of handwork, 7% is nothing. Has anyone else faced this in 2023 ?

Team Lead

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. ]

How to not feel bad when colleagues make more money ?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Especially if you're in an organisation for less than a year.

I see people boasting about a 20% increment, but I understand that they're experienced professionals. 

I know that something more than 5 would be good enough(?) as I still have the imposter syndrome, but let me know how much one should expect if it's quarterly, and after 1 year. 

Thanks.

What exactly is an acceptable increment %?

Account Manager

I'm a final year grad student who is working as an intern in a startup. It's a small team, and I'm the owner of 2 projects. Recently I've been feeling overworked and underpaid. I'm an intern who is working at the capabilities of a full-time and more. How do I have this conversation with my boss?

How do i tell my boss I'm overworked

Is 10% appraisal good for top performers or is the company lowballing?

What is your appraisal % ?

Hey, 

I am a SWE with 2 yrs exp. recently I found out that juniors in my team are being paid atleast 10% more than me. This thing has been bugging me so much that I setup a meeting with my manager but here’s the thing- I have no idea how to talk about this to my manager. I obviously think it’s unfair given how much more work I am doing. 
Can experienced people here please guide me on how to approach this meeting?

Thanks!

Junior coworker getting paid more than me.

Just break the ice. Start by, “ Hi…. Sorry for the unplanned meeting but I want to talk about my compensation.”

UX/UI Designer

I joined a start-up (SDE 1) after working in an IT service giant (one of the WITCH) for the past 2 years. There we didn't have any discussion regarding the amount of raise expected, they used to just assign us the percentage (peanuts) that they felt.

Here in the start-up I have heard that we have a say about how much % increase we are expecting post review cycle. I have some questions,

1. Do managers generally know about their subordinate's salary?
2. If not, then how do such discussions take place? Just based on % increment?
3. Or Only feedback is discussed with the manager and salary negotiation is done with HR (who knows my salary)?

Salary Increment negotiation

Another year around and last year was dry with literally 0 percent hike. My salary not been increased for past two years and this year my hopes are going down. The PMS cycle was supposed to be on May 1st. We were supposed to get manager ratings. When I checked  it wasnt even case and they dont even communicate of such a delay. They just keep it closed doors and this is what I see as transparency. Already I have many exits voluntarily. When I was demanded for work day and night. they said company will reward people meritocritic and now when I turn them back and ask they arent even interested with sharing date on when the appraisal would come. What should I do I feel being cheated after 2 years of working day and night? Any news or this is going to be one another year of their sick promises and betrayals?

We will increment next year, promise?
