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

Lol I’ve gotten nothing the past two years despite getting the highest rating for my performance reviews.

2. How can I say no without pissing off the manager given I have just joined the company?
