I successfully negotiated myself a 25% raise!

Meanwhile, our CEO was asked during a townhall if compensation would be adjusted for inflation this year and he gave a big speech about how we were lucky to have jobs. Apparently we have to just get through this tough time together and maybe later we'll see some growth 🙄

Should I tell my colleagues about my market adjustment?

Absolutely not.

CEO and his team definitely wanna eat first before they can give the left overs.
Find a new job and send out a company wide email about your adjustment story to light the fire at your company

likefunnysmart

Sure, stir up trouble and possibly resentment under the guise of helping. If they want to get a raise they can get it themselves.

like

The worst case scenario is that you humble brag to your colleagues about your raise as a method to *encourage* them to all request a raise at once, then they don’t get the raise because of fund availability/budgeting, then they all quit for another job because they didn’t get the raise, then you’re left with all the work that didn’t get done because now there’s a massive shortage of engineers.

If they want a raise, they should be making that request through their own merit and volition — not because someone decided to humble brag.

like

I wouldn’t. Maybe your adjustment just gets you up with everyone else.

No need to brag. Why you want to tell your colleagues? Tell your family and friends if you need to share.

So they can agitate for the same thing?
