Don't mean to stir the pot.... but... if you're having this conversation.Our employer is effectively asking me to take a 1.4% pay cut.
Looks like you employer is asking you to take a 2.8% pay cut.
Is your employer making a profit? How do your pay levels compare to the industry norm? Has your pay increased above or below the rate of inflation over the last few years?I had my review this week in work for 2007. my employer is giving us 2.1% adjustment for inflation. my understanding is inflation for 2007 was about 4.8% in this country. is 2.1% a realistic adjustment for inflation? would like to be able to quote actual figures when i raise this as a issue, if it is an issue?
You know there are some people around here who give you the impression that this kind of pay-for-no-performance would only happen in the public sector, and could never happen in a profitable, private sector company!I work for a US multinational in the technology sector- The company is going well and is profitable.
Still only got 3.5% along with the rest of my colleagues. Whether or not you sat on your ass all year or worked your ass off.Everybody in my dept. got the same.

How do you know what all of your other colleagues got? Surely this is a private matter between them and the employer?Still only got 3.5% along with the rest of my colleagues. Whether or not you sat on your ass all year or worked your ass off.Everybody in my dept. got the same.
Me? I expected 6%, asked for 12%, told them I could get 15% elsewhere.
I got 6.5%. Not happy.
Why? You got more than you expected.Me? I expected 6%, asked for 12%, told them I could get 15% elsewhere.
