Has anyone in the WPP network been promised a promotion/raise and then suffered through the annual Q4 “cash push” freeze? Did you finally get it in Q1? If so, when? Was it worth the wait?

It will also depend on the % you are asking for, it usually takes longer if it’s more than 15/20 %.

Trying to decide if I should wait it out or see the writing on the wall and jump ship now. Thanks for any insight you might have.

Yes, but it wasn’t until July. My GCD was a great manager and always felt very genuine, so it was easier for me to trust him as he kept me in the loop.

Worked for one of the companies 5 years, no bonus and one small raise. Plus sounds like a sinking ship with all the mergers.

Yes. Playing the waiting game now. Has been approved and gone through finance. Just waiting on hr and then the fun of negotiating the raise if it is sub par

My raise % has historically been good. Company entered into a big lucrative deal in 2021 which brought on more work and with it, promises of more lucrative prospects for everyone.

Come performance review time, I’m getting a rave review but was informed that the increase isn’t as big as prior years because HR is limiting the raises and not giving the department as much discretion as it did in the past with nos.

Tried to ask for more but not getting to the sweet spot.
