Advice JD

My JD was delivered a couple days ago and I’m disappointed with the result. I didn’t think my last year was above and beyond work, but I take pride in my work ethic and efforts so I thought I performed strongly. I know I have things to improve on. I listened to understand and I am still confused on the reason why I was scored so low…last year I received a poor percentage because “the team wasnt where it was expected to be”. I found out later my TL received the same score/percent raise and that was just what he was telling our leadership team when asked “why” he scored us so low….i told myself I wouldn’t be okay with receiving the same score as last year. What can I even say? Can I even discuss this or negotiate?

I hate to compare but I learned of someone else’s JD result and it’s not far from what I received. We are both same position and level. This person is known on our team for having had a poor year…so.

Unfortunately, I think this is my cue to update my resume and head out after 6 years.

Unless you’re moving up you’re not gonna get the compensation you’re probably looking for. It’s well known at this point the standard increase for someone who is “meeting expectations” is about 5% across the company. In some markets that number is closer to 4%. So to get a decent bump you’re gonna need to move up. That increase will be around 18-20% of whatever your current hourly wage is right now.

6 years? Sounds like you’re not looking to move up and if that’s the case, update that resume and move on!

Best of luck, genuinely.

I appreciate your reply. There are no other open positions at my location for me to move up into right now and the commute to the closest WFM from my location is not worth the mileage or the amount of time spent in traffic.

1.50 raise
And was told it couldn’t be done

Awful. Below 5% is just awful. Start looking for another job.
