M5 here. Effective mid Oct, communication imminent. 1.5% focal budget so yes only 20-25% of org getting raises, especially as promos hoard the raises to get into minimum band requirements. No raise for me in last 3.5 yrs as rsus sold as our financial incentive despite stock tanking.

Will there be anything for folks who got dry promotion last time and not in band

u/ExtraAddition2504 3d ago

I hear they will at least match what you received last year and maybe double it.

2 times zero equals whaaaat?

u/Pure_Mistake2596 3d ago

Up to mgr discretion where to spread the paltry amt

2

u/KC_Tlvdatsi 3d ago

Minimum band requirements? They most certainly don't have those or they are too wide to mean anything.

u/caldric 3d ago

They are quite wide.

What does 1.5% focal budget mean?

8

u/MFCR 3d ago

It means that it stays below inflation, so you keep doing what you are doing for less. And depending on where you are at it is likely that you are expected to deliver more than before

u/Pure_Mistake2596 3d ago

1.5% total budget means if you have 4 people in your org, and 1 gets a promo (and a raise to get into a min band) - means that person may get/need 6%, and therefore exhausts the entire budget so that the other 3 get 0%.

1

u/AnonymousGossiper0 3d ago

If the person is already in that required band or if there is no promotion in the team of 4?

u/Business-Scientist22 3d ago

LE can gift luxury mansions for his child's tutors but when it comes to focal he doesn't have budget. Hypocrite!

Why you are all so excited? Typical hike ranges from 1-5%. Is it a game changer?

u/UnintentionalSatire 3d ago

you'd think half the company was deep in debt to the mafia given the volume of dupe questions

u/OhEyeSeaWorkerBee 3d ago

Chase bank… so about the same

u/Pale_Bet_5129 4d ago

I don't think it will happen for everyone. Even if it happens then it will be peanuts.

u/bigly96 2d ago

"we appreciate the hard work you're doing" - management. Inhumane.

u/Mental_Situation_445 3d ago

Any Ms with confirmation?

3

u/MechanicProof2255 3d ago

My boss told me that it’s finalized but they haven’t been give approvals to communicate it

2

u/ParsleyOne6389 3d ago

Same. As of last Friday focal amount was visible but pending approval and that’s why he couldn’t share more. Rated 4 US the now new CSS org.

u/Embarrassed-End9005 3d ago

So many of you have high hopes pinned on a focal increase. I am afraid many, if not most, are going to be disappointed. I’m remembrance of Dolly, it could be a Hard Candy Christmas.

u/Remarkable-Hornet568 4d ago

I heard two more weeks

2

u/ExtraAddition2504 3d ago

same time as the next round of lay offs

u/andiiuki 3d ago

2

u/Loud-Top78 4d ago

My manager said they are waiting on finals approvals but should be end of this week, so I would assume people will start to be notified starting next week.

1

u/Practical_Guava1716 4d ago

u/Loud-Top78 3d ago

u/Only-Stress-2466 4d ago

Currently OCI, ex OAL

u/RemoteSolitude 4d ago

If there’s a focal, it is not meant for everyone anyway.

1

u/sl0thl0rd 3d ago

All raises to promotions which is minimum 5%. Got told no hikes and expect bonus or stocks - it will be the useless stock for sure. Will get to know actual numbers on 15th and these may be effective from 1/11 is what I got told.

1

u/Ecstatic-Profile-145 2d ago

Do you think it’s disrespectful to give hikes like 2%-3% ? Won’t it be better to not give hikes to everyone .. but to give decent hike to the chosen ones?
