We will increment next year, promise?
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.

Famous last words

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.

Classic double edge corporate loyalty

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.
