Just had a compensation discussion with my manager. I work at a big fortune 50 company. I met expectations and got back my compensation review receiving a 3% merit increase.

My boss knows I’m disappointed, and I asked to setup a follow up convo. We talked about inflation being 7.5% and I’m losing purchase power.

Other details:
Started last Jan 2021
Switching to a new role in a few weeks (manager said to talk to my new manager, LOL)
