D OP, it’s cyclical.

1. Take more money out of the system and give it to fewer people (promotion, raise, or whatever you want to call it) and that’s less money to a greater number of people.

2. That greater number of people hoards that money for food and bills in their personal lives.

3. Now you have a large number of people who are stressed out financially and start to view the organization in a bitter light.

4. Org begins to suffer losses in talent and quality of work dips which drives less money comes in.

5. Org, meet cultural shift. Cultural shift, meet Org.

Step 5 is painful, but clears out promoted that won’t get with the new system that has finally awakened to lost talent when driving only revenue.

Judging by the IQ level of this question, i think you should get laid off

The value we place, as a society, on more money and better titles is exactly why America has such a brutal double-edged sword in employment-at-will.

And I’m not coming after employees alone here. It’s terrible that these kinds of things can affect social standing too and are viewed as such by higher-ups.

Duh

Poorly phrased but I think OP means is it worse to take a hit for a full year and not get promoted or a raise after working hard for your promotion (with the more than likely empty promise that it’ll get made up to you next year) or get laid off and have the freedom to spend your time looking for a new job at the promoted level while sitting in probably a month or so of PTO pay ... in summary, what are the chances of finding a higher paying job at the promotion level and has anyone ever done this after feeling they didn’t get the year end result they deserved

like

Are we seriously discussing this?

If you can’t figure that out for yourself, perhaps you should be laid off.

If you have been with Deloitte for 26+ years, then being let go is better IMO.

Hey Everyone!
I’m coming up on one year of working in consulting post under grad in a financial services vertical. I know I want to transition to corporate strategy down the road, but don’t have much interest in financial service strategy. Should I try and switch into a more applicable practice such as M&A or operations? Will I be able to break into corporate strategy without any past experience in that industry? I want to avoid getting pigeonholed into FS, but with COVID, don’t want to leave.

I was dating someone for about 2.5 years and then we broke up because of COVID and the long distance was making it too difficult to continue. The break up must’ve been like a 4-5 minute FaceTime because I was very distraught. After we broke up, she started seeing someone else but I was heartbroken and it’s taken me over a year to really get over everything and process those feelings. (Cont.)

Asked for a raise and was told to wait for the annual raise period even though I was doing extra stuff on top of doing my job at a very high level and they would not budge at all. I started looking around 2 months ago and I just signed an offer for a new position with a raise just above 50% of my current salary. Know your worth and go get it!!!
