This year, my company skipped performance-based raises and only gave inflation-level increases due to 'the economy.' I asked for a title bump instead to reflect the work I’ve taken on. Is this happening elsewhere too, or is that just a small company move?

Inflation level increase is good. The big company move is no raise at all.

CoL raises are mythical at most HoCo agencies. Add that to the multi-year gaps between performance raises and you’re actually doing better than many of us.

This. Same for bonuses for peons. (I once got $500 for new years at Publicis.)

No pay raise in 3 years — including zero COLA. 🤡

CoL raises are frustrating, but pretty standard

Any advice on how to handle an ECD in charge of your salary who says the only way to get a promotion or even a COL raise of any kind is through winning an award? Not consistently reliable and solid performance. Not keeping the client happy and profitable. “You either win an award, or all ya get is to keep your job.”
And yes, I’m aware leaving is always an option, but eager for any other advice how to navigate.

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.

So look, not trying to be a dick here, but legit, why do people who live in nyc always give off the vibe that they’re so proud of themselves? Like they’ve accomplishing something just by being there. I’ve lived in huge American cities before but never felt compelled to aggressively pat myself on the back just for signing an overpriced lease. It’s a great place and all, don’t get me wrong, no need to get defensive, but come oooooon, really? Just curios that’s all :)
