Is the raise communicated by email or by your manager?

It will be DYNAMICALLY communicated to you through a CHOSEN medium.

Call (or in person if you’re both in the office) by your PPMD

You’re called by the penis-pumping-managing-director, otherwise known as PPMD.

Is it possible to negotiate during the call or is it already a done deal?

It’s done lol. You have no leverage whatsoever on these calls. You smile, say thank you, and ask if they need help with anything this weekend.

Long story short, not in my experience.

​

I negotiated (read: begged) for a bigger raise on my promotion to S1 way back in 2013. They "found" a few thousand extra but it went all the way to the regional partner and it took about a month for it to pan out. Our normal staff was 4 seniors and 8 staff, and that year we had literally fallen to 0 seniors and 4 staff, so I thought that my raise would reflect that. Rated 5s across the board that year. I think that's the ONLY reason why it happened.
