#raises

GCP opened up, so managers now know the raises and bonus budgets.

I'll start - Aero US - For a 5-block - Average 2.5% raise, MIP at 130% of target.

Merit pool is horrible this year. A lot of 3's are getting close to nothing and then they expect to score high EXI. Feel bad for gl 26 and below because they were supposed to get consistent raises but now they lose out on RRP and only get 1%.

I’m hearing that there will be no raises this year as the company needs to be “fiscally responsible”. Anyone else hearing this?

If you don't get promotions or raises after 2-3 years, just leave. The traditional career ladder is pretty much dead, and the best way to get a raise or promotion is through job hopping.

TIAA hasn’t given raises to employees with salaries over $100k the last few years.

Will this change for 2026? Will anyone be receiving pay raises?

Bonus? Flat? Higher than normal? What can we expect from compensation talks?

I can't wait to see what my rating is, and I really look forward to waiting till July to get my increase. It is fun waiting and getting another opportunity to have a second touch point with my boss instead of getting my raise at the beginning of the year.

Does anyone believe their division head pushed RV and the executive committee to provide higher raises this year? No need to name the division head, just name the division. It will be interesting to see if anyone believes their division head pushed for higher raises.

When will promotion, raise and RSU refresh be notified for Feb 2026 cycle?

Raises don’t save you from layoffs. I got a raise a few months before getting laid off and I was certain I was safe because of it. I mean, they gave me a nice raise, that must mean they value me as an employee and will make sure to keep me, right? Wrong. In the end, it didn’t change a thing. Just so you know.

If you get all 3s, do you think you will get a raise? How does that work?

how is all the top getting raises and bonus when the company su-ks. fake customer awards. all these lawsuits?? Contact your local gov and complain. its all a berni madof scam.hey look at this shinny while they keep taking and lowering the bar for the regular.

Given that Penny has averaged 16-17% for her annual raises the past few years, what do we bet she’ll get for 2026?

I’ll set the over/under at 16.5%. Are you betting higher or lower than that?

Happy betting, y’all 🤠

Keep seeing everyone is getting 3% increase. I haven’t heard a peep from my manager about it. Does this mean we won’t get it, or should we still hold out hope?

Or do I just need to sit in my car again and collect OT to make up the difference. Either way I get paid

Has anyone heard if we will get raises and what the % is? My boss keeps saying how much she appreciates me.

When are the promotions announced typically? Both with your manager and/or team and then also within your LOB? When is the year end comp (Bonus/Raises) typically announced.

Yearly raise and promotions what’s the percent typically?

I've worked and pushed extra hard for my in-seat promotion all year, after years on team and at same low C-level trying to get my AVP which I see as finally earning your stripes within Citi.

I've done pretty well with raises the past couple years and pretty sure I've got to be maxing out my salary in the undisclosed 'salary band(s)'. Been getting signals that it's looking pretty positive for this new year also, but no sign or mention of promo.

Is it possible to be earning within the next band without the badge?

No raise for me this year which is not unique but has me wondering if adjusted for inflation I have maxed out?

What have annual raises been in the past and what are we expecting this year?

I received an end-of-year promotion but the % increase is barely larger than the typical merit raise. Anyone else in the same boat?

I love knowing I will be getting a raise that doesn’t keep up with cost of living while she’s here wearing about $100,000 worth of jewelry to wish us a happy holidays

Older folks can try to ride it out. But if you are younger person you need to look externally for opportunities. Going from 4.5 to 3.5 % is a ~23% cut on 401k match, plus any lost compound interest. Also factor in medical premium increases for next year. Your financial position is now worse, it doesn't make financial sense to continue here (which is obviously what they want so they have to pay less severance). Yea the job market is tight and not everyone can find another job, but financially, you owe it to yourself to look around as you are doing same work for less $. I am not even going to get into bonus and raises because we all know that will be close to 0.

I'm new this past yr to conocophillips and a coworker told me that he doesn't get raises because he is beyond his midpoint. Is this true or is he whinning?

It's getting pretty empty around here lately. Several of the sharpest people on my team just left for much better offers. And if they managed to get better offers in this job market, you know they're good. It's frustrating because a simple, competitive raise probably would have kept them. But I guess that kind of forward thinking is asking too much from this place.

After talking to quite a few of my coworkers and everyone got a 0% or 1% raise. We work in Carlsbad so how do they expect to keep good employees when they don’t take care of them?

Now that the fat has been trimmed with 13K gone and workload doubling, we deserve a big fat raise come March.

Please list country and percentage

I saw MM just posted a position for a new corporate pilot salary of 240k to 320k. I was not aware that MM employs 14 pilots and an additional 21 highly paid support staff.
So let’s just say the average employee expense Is 200k a year that is at least 7 million in salaries plus the cost of the multiple aircraft, including insurance, flight fees, fuel, and whatever else is needed, the total expense is probably at least 10 million per year times the last ten years = 75 to 100 million accounting for inflation. Just so the SLT flys luxury and isn’t subjected to joe public ,the people RC always says MM value so much as our customers. All the while the average employee is nickel dimed on raises and benefits. Anyhow just wanted to share. Happy Holidays to all!

Because first we had to spend it on penalty.
Next year, because we had to spend it on restructuring.
Next year, because we were not done with restructuring yet.
Next year, because it was tough year.
Next year, because we need to restructure again.
This year, because we URGENTLY NEED A NEW LOGO and another AI bull...

This is comedy gold

My guess is plenty of first and second line management are going to have tough conversations this week.

When I was a supervisor they would do training and tell us who was in the salty benchmark. It was different companies for employee and executive compensation. Anyone have the lists of companies?

What do developers typically get in yearly increase? What about bonus? I joined as a senior associated in February (US, not NYC). I've heard people say it's $1000. Some say it's 5-15% of your yearly salary.

What have other developers had in salary increase and bonus?

Got an annual raise of 1.3% as a TDGUS employee. U.S. inflation is probably in the 2.5-3.0% range next year (~2.9% for 2025?) - so I'm effectively getting a pay cut. Why does the bank think this is OK to do? I like working here, love my work, and enjoy collaborating with my coworkers. Rated middle of the pack - I'm not expecting a crazy raise or anything - but at this rate I will have to start looking for another role inside or outside the bank just to keep up with the cost of living. It's just depressing that to see $hit like this...

People are talking about this but I highly doubt there's any truth to it. Can anybody confirm something like this is in the works?

Pay rises ? Anyone heard or will it be a company wide no increases for 26

Last year I got a bigger raise compared to this year even though my rating was MUCH MUCH BETTER.

Does anyone know how the raise works here?

What's the point of being a high performer if it doesn't translate to money??

When will Fido realize "recognition email" doesn't pay my bills ....

I got 8% once.

What's everyone's guesses on this? Do you think anyone is getting anything bigger than the structure raise?
