Today, our head of department informed us that there would be no raise this year except for the LEGAL index (I am lucky to work in Belgium). When I asked therefore what is the point in us doing the extra mile, he answered that we have the individual bonus (whichmqdr year for an exceptional rating was around 300€).
He then went on to add that, if we don't like it, we can leave the company and see if the grass is greener elsewhere but that it is unlikely… And they wonder why people no longer feel part of the company and why the turnover is higher each year!
