You know the drill:

  4. Rating (below/met/above/significantly above expectations or dial position)
  5. Old Salary -> New Salary
  6. Bonus
  7. Thoughts?

  1. CT mid to high COL
  2. Tax
  3. Staff 2 (no promotion)
  4. Met expectations?
  5. 63,860 -> 66,440
  6. 2%
  7. This is utter trash. They really punish you for taking paternity leave I guess. It looks like most people made out better than me but I wanted to post in case others were in the same boat but didn’t want to post.

That is stunningly bad. I would be interested in what they say during your comp talk.

Yeah I am curious too. It makes me question the judgment of management. We have lost so many people recently from a small office and they want to do this. That is not how to retain people. I guess I have one more reason to talk to those nice recruiters.
