Cannot imagine any world where this is anything but a no. A freeze is a freeze. You're an existing employee within the agency making a lateral move to another team. I can't imagine you would get a bump for that, let alone 10% when cost of living bumps are usually 3-5%.
You should be looking for a new job, sadly. Everything about that is wrong and even if the salary freeze was real, being in one for 2.5 years speaks to the financial health of the organization, which can't be good.
PM, I should have said "alleged freeze" because they've been hiring multiple people, including creating new made up C-level positions, and a couple coworkers have received raises.
I was also calculating 10% based on 5% bumps across the total time I've been here (the 2.5 years). But not a firm number for me. More of a "that would be nice" number.
As someone who just went through this, you should absolutely ask. You should also request a relo package (temporary housing, movers, etc)
Why would s/he need a relo package to move onto a different account? 🤔
Ask. If it doesn't happen, be prepared to leave. Wage freezes are ridiculous and not motivating. If people start to reject it, things will change.
We as agency employees should stop referring to this as pay freezes, this is wage suppression. Especially in high COL cities.
Unfortunately, from my experience, the only way to get more money out of your existing agency is to get another offer and be invaluable, or to leave. Hiring freeze makes it even less likely. The only way I've seen an agency make an exception to a hiring freeze is when hiring new people or keep valuable people.
You won't get anything if you don't ask.
lol I asked for a measly 3% (at my salary that would amount to like $50 extra per paycheck MAYBE) and it was a firm NO each time.
Sapient and SrCW1, that's kind of what I was thinking. It can't hurt to ask.
AcctD1, that was my other thought. I'm kind of doing it anyway so maybe a "no" would be rage-inducing motivation
Thanks for the advice, everyone!
I've gotten raises in salary freeze times. It comes down to how much they need and value you.
