I have been working in my company for over 4 years now, each time it's time for Appraisals I am told the company cannot go beyond 7%. But I have progressed in my role through the years and I have delivered excellent growth results this year when the context has been dull. I am super frustrated it could end up with being handed a 7% increment and of course a football to take home, especially after my meeting with my manager. It's getting to me now!
I literally got handed a football for being the top performer, I mean like really fam!
This is how the world works son. If you simply work hard in a straightforward way it wont fetch you any money if thats what you are looking for. You need to create dependency and make yourself irreplaceable and threaten to leave if not given a raise. Thats when your importance would be realised 🙂
Also, 4yrs is too long of a tenure. If money is your focus then switch jobs every 1-2 years for first 10 years of your career. You cant get more tha. 10% hike in a appraisal cycle staying in the same company.
These are the rulea of the game. Playing the gamw well is upto you. All the best.
You're getting an appraisal?
Also, the market trend now isn't very favourable yes? How likely is it I can join a marketing gig ?
I would suggest you to switch, and if you really like and don't want to leave due to any reason, get some offer, and ask them to match, else leave bro.
I have also worked in same company for more than 4 years, I have worked with many managers, good and bad, result for us won't change, only thing variable is that, few managers will rudely put it to us, and some will act like they care, and convince us in their decisions. But at the end they will always try to give us as low as possible.
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 whateve...
