I brought up to my manager my concerns with inflation, and was worried if raised this year would reflect it. He had a meeting with the CFO asking about offering raises above 3%, and she said no. But it could be revisited if there are problems with retention. She makes millions a year, I make $65k. The company recently bragged in a newsletter about record profits. I’m the only person that received “exceeds expectations” on my review in the company (my boss took me out for drinks and divulged more information than he should have recently.)
Will this company go under with me leaving? No, absolutely not. My direct team will hit a speed bump or two, but they will be fine. Will I enjoy going up to the CFO and telling her that she should revisit her policy of capping a raise at 3%? Absolutely.
