You want a sign-on bonus every year? Unfortunately it doesn’t work this way this is why you generally prefer a higher base than sign-on bonus.

Seems they knew more about what was going on than you did. The comprime you made is that your base will be lower moving forward. It would be crazy to ask them to use the sign-on when calculating the raise that gets you past even that benchmark.
Are they offering you 88% now? Seems your math is off.
I think 10% in a non promotion year is excellent. I also don’t think your sign on bonus should be considered

The sign on was a compromise for not being able to meet the base.
Rising Star
Of course not. It was a sign on bonus.
The sign-on bonus is likely from a different pool of money than your base, so it'd be difficult to bargain using that.
Also, your comp ratio (in workday this is sometimes called PMR) is based off of only your recurring compensation, not sign-on bonuses - so it's likely that any raise beyond what you got (10% was a lot) would trigger some sort of automated alarm based on this ratio.
Rising Star
Total comp should only include recurring income streams.

Then it’s not total comp lol
you got shafted, bait and switch
