2.5% raise, no promo despite meeting metrics and snapshots. PPD couldn't find reason for me to not get promoted so he said "well you couldn't have been perfect, if you were you'd be PPD" 😒

Why practice do you work in?! What was your bonus %? How are you finding out about promotions only now? What country are you in?!? I'm so confused by you

A1 - piss off. @OP: I had exactly the same - promised promotion if I met a number of criteria, and when I met them, still didn't follow through. They did give 13% bonus but I think that was because of 1 rating - not a compensation. I applied to few other jobs (and got invited), but in the end decided would not be right moment for me to jump. Also - it means promotion is pretty much guaranteed next year (unless you do something unforgivable), so either jump or chill out a bit this year.

So 1% larger raise than most Americans will get and a salary that is already far higher than most Americans earn.

Oh and 2.5% was one of highest in my practice

lol I have been fighting the decision and it only was settled now. Won't name the practice bc it's tiny, and my bonus was 1K because I'm advisory consultant level and we don't get bonuses until we make SC

And second D1 - how come you find out now?

Op did your group make plan for the year?

Oh, and I demanded (review for) promotion after 6 months (as my non-promotion was initially caused by an administrative error - expected promotion date was not saved in the system and left blank) but "the systems couldn't handle that". How about that for flexibility.

@D2: that's infuriating! Are they honoring the mid year promo?

@D1: yeah we're part of a market offering that's doing really well, none of us are sure what happened this year. A lot of people jumping ship

No - they basically banned mid year promos altogether, that's what I've been told at least. Hope that's not another lie

Let me open a new thread on that question actually

@D2: damn I'm sorry that sucks. I don't trust leadership anymore. Ours hid behind the new RPM process as reasoning for not honoring promo and raise promises

I want to brag on my kid, but I don’t want to embarrass him, so I’m doing it here. My college sophomore found out today that he ended up with a B in his accounting class - which is remarkable, given that he received a 50 on his first exam and a 70 on his second. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen him work this hard - and I couldn’t be more proud. The grades that come easily don’t impress me nearly as much as the ones that are hard fought.
