One of my friends at a different company just told me they didn’t get any raises this year. It almost makes me grateful for the whopping 3% increase I got. Have any of you run into not getting any sort of salary increase? Is that really becoming common?

Yes. There have been years when my company did not provide any annual increases and other years of 1-1.5%. Aside from those years, 3% is very common at my company. I’ve been here over 25 years.

Oooffffff. I don’t like this.

Ever since covid we’ve honestly been all over the place raises. Used to be an expected thing every year before that. We’ve had everything between regular, minimal, and no raise at all over the past few years. Not feeling very great about this year so far!

Ugh! I don’t like the sounds of that at all

I got the same 3% as you, seems to be the standard these days. Wasn't thrilled about it, but it's still better than nothing. I'm guessing no raise years will become increasingly more common given how desperate people are for work and how few opportunities there seem to be. Companies can get away with this sort of thing if there's nowhere better for employees to flee to.

This thought is so disheartening
