My company usually does performance-based raises, but this year they’re only doing across-the-board increases that match inflation, citing the economy.

Is that pretty standard in your experience? I just finished my first full-time year.

Unfortunately this means that they are low-balling everyone. Inflation-only raises are common, but they're not ideal at all. In my current company, the most anyone gets is 3% on a consistent basis, and you have to really fight to get more.

I heard it's the first year for this. They are preparing for an economic hit as we are a CPG company.

My company does a blend of both. There's a general expectation of a standard (below recent inflation) raise, but managers have the discretion to ding some in order to free budget to reward others on the team.

My advice may vary based on the type of company you work for and your goals. Can you share more?

We’re usually get 2.5 and top performers get a bigger raise, like 4%. When I was new and talked to people on how to get ahead and consistently got comments…the extra effort isn’t worth the tiny difference in increase. I used to work in a consult organizations and top performers could get close to a 10% raise, but promotions were always the big bumps in pay.

That's what I've taken away...I put in all the extra work for a raise and am only hit with a 2.7% when I was going to ask for a 7%. They low balled me out of college, I never negotiated.

standard but not good or fair

The CW that I’d work the longest with (for about 3 years) had just being promoted to ECD on a big cool shop after very good run. Meanwhile I was just promoted to ACD at an OK medium shop after a very torturous run that almost made me quit ad life for good.

Sometimes I wonder what the hell did I do wrong.
I didn’t even think he was that good back then 😂.

He is a nice guy tho and I’m happy for him and for whoever will be working for him.

Facebook Ads after iOS 14 changes.

I'll share my experience and urge you to share yours:

Since iOS 14 changes, Facebook ads isn't the same anymore. Why?

A. >75% iOS users denied tracking. They are no longer tracked across websites/apps. Facebook lost its edge.
B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.

What's your experience? Let's all learn.

So, recently got put on a PIP after six months at my new job., two days after I told my boss and HR I recently learned I have a cognitive disability caused by an illness. The PIP was mostly because I forgot some deadlines, but also they said I need to be more professional in emails (even though others use zero punctuation and a lot of emojis. To clients.) and simultaneously ask more questions and ask fewer questions. Should I just assume this is unattainable and look for a new job again?
